What's up this week?

[Lulu54]

First full week of August is here and I feel the summer days slipping away - how about you?

I already started today with a physical appt with my PCP - I see her once or twice a year whether I am sick or not. She did a bunch of labwork - I need to be sure I'm not incubating some new cootie because I had an elevated temp today -  my normal is 97.7 and I was 99.0.

We have outdoor concerts three nights in a row this week, so I am hoping for this cool weather to continue.  They should be all fun - Happy Together Tour with the Turtles and a bunch of other old groups.  The The Sailrock Concert with Christopher Cross and Orleans, among others.  Friday night is the official Blues Brothers Review, produced by Dan Ackroyd and Judy Belushi.  It was just bad timing on my part that I got tixs for all three - didn't occur to me that it was all in a row.  

Postponed  my colonoscopy until late September so I could enjoy the concerts

How about you - what are you doing this week?  Please share
hugs to all, Laura

I am so glad you saw him and that he is determined to figure things out. :-)

I am thrilled for you and hope things work out.

I had mine removed in 2011 and I was so relieved because the attacks had gotten severe. I was a little sore for a couple days but did not require the pain meds.

The surgeon put me off for two weeks and that was all I needed, but it is important to follow their instructions because it would be easy to overdo it.

Quick update.  Appointment was yesterday.  The neurologist is WONDERFUL (saw the ms clinic head). He is scheduling me to come back for a full day of testing, and to call if "anything" worsens so he can bump it sooner.

Do you know how great it feels to be believed?  Of course, I had the support of some pretty bad neuro test results, but still.  His viewpoint -- my mri doesn't look like ms, BUT something is definitely wrong and "we are going to get to the bottom of this."

Yup.  Cried.  Forgot all of my questions.

Had my gall bladder out in 2000.  Nothing to it, when done laparoscopically.  I went in early the day of surgery and was discharged around noon the next day.  I was somewhat sore for a while - maybe as long as a week and a half, IIRC.  However, I can tell you I've had only two notable stomach aches in all the years since, and both of those were from food poisoning.
