Friday Four
A collection of 4 things that have been on my mind lately.
1.) Doctors
I saw a new Cardiologist last week. Next I'll see an Orthopedist for my right shoulder. Then I see my Primary Doctor and new Care Coordinator. I've got to have testing done for the Cardiologist and an x-ray for the Orthopedist. I'm sure my PD & CC will want to do blood work. Fun! I'm really getting tired of tests and blood work so let's home that this will be all I need for awhile.
2.) Weight Loss Support Group / Accountability
I've been trying to get in touch with the head of the weight loss support group and I haven't had any luck yet. I see a dietitian next month, and a co-worker has offered support, so if I don't hear back from the Support Group coordinator then I'll just give up. I left her another message earlier this week.
3.) F*ck Cancer!
Someone I love dearly is going through cancer _again_. The first time the Chemo knocked out the cancer and this person had surgery to remove her uterus. Now the cancer is back in her ovaries. The first round/type of Chemo didn't work so her doctor recommended trying another option. A few people told this person to get a second opinion so she did - on Wednesday she went to a big hospital in Eastern Pennsylvania. The doctors there looked at her most recent CT scan and said that there are trials available to her and that they did agree with her local doctor. She's now going through the trial information and will see her local doctor next week. She's hopeful, and so is her doctor so that makes me hopeful too. Scared, but hopeful.
4.) Time Flies!
I can't believe that Christmas is almost 3 months away! I have some gifts that I want to make, so I need to get on that. I also need to finish 2 of the initial ornaments that I'm making for my nieces. My Christmas Cards are ready to be addressed. I'm thinking about what gifts to get for people, and I'm even thinking of making more origami crane ornaments that I made a few years ago.
