Nothing like getting it all done at once

Friday was a freaky day in a way, but working half day and then having coffee with Jane and then having a doctor's appointment, and extra labs was a good kick off for winter break. Today I had three medical appointments as well. Dental, and a mammogram and a vision appointment (that was in McPherson). I had extra labs on Friday because I talked with my doctor about the fact that my brother was just diagnosed with Grave's disease, and I understand it can be familial. So my doctor ordered all the thyroid related labs for me as well. I got the call on the results and they are all clear or normal. I have not gone in and looked at the numbers for myself though. My doctor screens me every year for glaucoma, because my pressures run high. So I had a field of vision test and another screening to examine the nerves in my eyes. They are doing well. He had a new machine and now instead of my face pressed up against a machine for these tests he had a VR headset set up Since McPherson is only a half hour from Salina, we went to the Sam's Club there. It was an hour and a half home, but I like the store better than the one we go to in Wichita. We were home just at dark. So that is my Christmas break so far. Exciting, right?

You've been busy. I'm glad your results for the Graves came back OK. I go twice a year to the eye doctor and once a year for the field of vision test (which I hate). I'm on eye drops once a day to control the pressure of the glaucoma. I'm glad your eyes are doing well. Enjoy your time off.

I’m just so glad you are on break. You know I worry about you. You sure got a lot of medical stuff out of the way! I have a doctor appointment this morning, but nothing big. Are you going out of town soon?

I'm glad all the testing came back normal for you. Graves' disease and Hashimoto's disease aren't fun. Nobody else in my family have either one. I never found much in a Sam's Club that I wanted to bring home.

You really had a tight packed day there. But glad that all the work is done and you are back home. Hope you can catch up some good rest after such a long day. Happy about the reports being normal. My Christmas vacation starts today. I am busy packing. We leave for a family vacation tomorrow evening
