But first... Tired, crampy. I slept for 3 hours last night. I went up to sleep relatively early. After watching Schindler's List with Mom I went up and did Night Prayer before anything. It was 10:40 at that point. I ended up watching youtube vids as I tried to sleep. But... I found it funny I wasn't very tired, especially compared to the times I had gone up around 9 and fallen asleep almost immediately to wake up at 2 to 4. But this time I was awake till 3. Even at that point I wasn't sleepy. But then came the point when I actually tried to sleep. Like... I don't know how else to describe it other than being too tired to go to sleep.
Anyway... Like I said, my gyn retired. I may have mentioned it before... But I was supposed to schedule a pelvic sono on day 7 to 10 of my cycle. But... Since I've been on meds, I don't really have a proper period. The last time I had something that resembled a period was light spotting for a few days. This time seems heavier. And looking at my period app, it does seem to be a month since I last spotted, so... I called during my lunch break and there was an automated message that he had retired at the end of August. You can schedule an appt with his partner or request your records. So I called the partner. They said I needed to request my records either way. So... I don't know if she will continue my care or if I need to start over. I said, I was planning to schedule the US, but they said I really couldn't do anything till my records were transfered. I then don't know if I should do the mammo and blood work that was previously ordered as well. In other news, I called again to hear the automated message about getting my records. It said I can get it for free from lab / hospital system online records or I can sign a release and pay 75¢ a page. As far as I remembered my records weren't on the hospital system app, so... I don't know if I can get anything besides my labs / imaging. Part of me is willing to pay if I get to keep the records for myself. But... At least with my office, if it's sent MD2MD there is no cost. If it's released to the parent / lawyer then it costs money. But then again... I'd rather have the new doctor have all my records, esp in my case. In other news... I'm kinda sad. My previous MD and I had an understanding and... I guess I need to establish that again? At the same time I'm so tired. Part of me just wants to stop going. Once my meds run out they run out. But then... I'm afraid of the bleeding risk. I need to stay on top of this and not get lazy about it again. cc
7500centfish Random comment... Listened to an ep of Catholic Answers. Was it a weird questions show? They had a question about the Quantum Leap episode where Sam leaps into a priest. The questioner mentioned it seems like he would purposely not say words or things would interrupt him preventing him from saying words. For example pronouncing a couple man and wife. Jimmy Akin wasn't sure how leaping worked, but after googling a few things, it's kinda like transubstantiation. As in it appears to be the priest, but it's really Sam. So... He wouldn't be a priest / couldn't perform sacraments. But the Q was about the wedding. At the man and wife part they would have already been married, so there is no issue there. But they did appreciate that whoever wrote (?) the episode took that into consideration / had some knowledge of catholicism.
It's the Feast of the Stigmata of St. Francis so I posted
