End of the year
Squeezing in a bunch of medical visits before the end of the year. Here is what has been going on:
I've come out of remission with the Crohn's disease, back in April. Since then, I have been having tests, doctor visits, etc... to come up with a treatment plan. NOTHING has been working well so far. The standard go to for meds is prednisone. Which is something that most people avoid at all costs, despite its benefits. The side effects suck!! I was on the pred for three months, off for two. Having issues again, the DR wanted to put me back on it. Sorry, no, not doing it. I see him next Friday. In the meantime, I have had an ultrasound of my gallbladder and am supposed to have another scan of the GB next Tuesday.
The fates must have chose to mess with me because I broke a tooth on Oct 25. Went in for a temp crown and went back for the perm fix yesterday. I have a cleaning scheduled for this Friday, as well as a mammogram. Also went to the eye doctor on Tuesday! My eyesight is worse than it was sixteen months ago, so I am waiting for the new glasses to come in.
Have I missed anything? I think I have had everything I need to be checked, checked.
I thought turning 50 would be no big deal. But if this year is any indication of how the next 25 years are going to be... I think I want to go back to 49.
In other news: My puppy Tucker is eight months old!! He is a great little dog. Well, not so little. I took him with me yesterday in the truck. He was very good. Did not get sick, pretty much hung out in the truck the whole time he was with me. He was tired out from the days events, which is always a good thing. Went into his crate at bedtime on his own. Was hoping to get to the beach today, but I just wasn't up to it.
Anyway, its been a busy week and it is only Tuesday! I am off work until Thursday at 4 pm. After four years of 6am to 2pm shifts, I decided to go back to afternoons. I have never been a morning person.
Thinking of buying a kindle fire 7". If you have one and care to share your review of it, please let me know.
