Good morning... yes, it's late, but it is still morning!! How's everyone doing this morning? It's been busy here, but that's okay. If I stay busy, I'm less tempted to lie down and sleep!!
Last week, I mentioned that I was supposed to be getting a call to get an appointment for Laser Lithotripsy for my kidney stone. When I still hadn't heard anything from the surgery center by Wednesday, I decided to call and find out what was going on. Apparently, I'd fallen through the cracks. Anyway, I was put through to the surgery center and the chick I talked to tentatively set my Lithotripsy for April 4th and said she'd call me back later the same day with an appointment for a pre-op exam, which would probably be the next day!! Well, that didn't happen - neither a call back, nor the pre-op. When I didn't hear anything the next day either, I called again to see what was going on. I was, obviously, not a happy camper, as I don't do well when people tell me they're going to do something, then don't!!
Anyway, by week's end, I did end up with both the appointment for the pre-op (Mar 29) and the Lithotripsy (Apr 4). I've also been having trouble with my blood pressure, so I have to see my pcp on Apr 3. and because of shortness of breath issues, I'm having ultra sound on the arteries in my legs to make sure I don't have blockages. That will be done on Mar 29 also. As you can see, I'm pretty well loaded up with medical appointments.
In addition to all that, the treasurer of our calligraphy guild has decided she must resign. She has profound hearing loss and it's causing symptoms, such as depression, forgetfulness, etc. We don't have anyone to take over so I offered to help her out, temporarily, until we find someone who can step in permanently. I'm already the Vice President and Membership Chairman and really enjoy that so don't want to give it up but would have to if we don't find another Treasurer.
I did get to take a calligraphy class yesterday and even though it was a hybrid (both in person and on Zoom), for once, I was not a tech host, so actually got to enjoy the class.
This morning, I've been out for my walk with my neighbor and got the lawn mower out to do a bit of badly needed trimming to get rid of some weeds around the yard. It was only around 60 degrees and there was a nice breeze so it was comfortable.
I'm still walking almost every day and the medication I'm on for my neuropathy makes me not as hungry, so I'm still dropping weight. This morning, my scale shows that I've dropped 3.6 lbs since last week. That makes a total of 22 lbs since October when, both my thyroid and neuropathy meds were changed. I think I'm actually beginning to feel better since I'm not carrying around so much weight, though I still tend to be tired most of the time. Maybe that will change, too. Anyway, I'm good with the direction I'm going.
So how was your week? I hope it was good and that you reached your goal(s).
~~Wishing everyone a wonderful, successful week~~
