Wednesday and I have a doctor’s appointment this morning to see my primary care doctor and fill him in on all the ulcerative colitis issues and the hospital stay. I don’t have to be at work until the afternoon, so I can take my time this morning and leisurely start my day. I was very tired yesterday when I got off work, and was very happy to get home and into my easy chair for some evening relaxation. I did do some chores, though, which was nice. I am doing better about keeping up with them, so at least I don’t have to face an entire day of cleaning and organizing. I also got my expedited credit card, which alleviates some anxiety about accessing cash (I don’t know why they couldn’t expedite the debit card, but here we are) for the weekend. It’s Pay the Bills Day, too.
I slept well last night–fell asleep in my chair, actually, and Paul came to get me to go to bed. I was hoping for a good night’s sleep–I don’t really have them much anymore, which is part of the reason, I suspect, that I am always tired by the end of my work day–but I have to remember to take things slow, slow and steady wins the race, and eventually I will once again be back to myself again. Getting old is a bitch, you know? Being sick when you’re old isn’t very good, either. My brain function still isn’t at 100% either.
I am meeting with the nurse in charge of my account for the treatment medication next week; which is apparently more serious than I thought it was. I now have someone in charge of my treatment from the drug company, from my specialist’s office, and from my insurance. It’s a lot to keep track of, especially when your brain is still kind of foggy. Ah, well, I have everything in a folder and I’ll read it all over the three day weekend–as well as trying to get some questions for this nurse next Wednesday.
I am also going to see my primary care doctor this morning, which is why I am not already on my way to work this morning. I need to ask him about a couple of things–my sister has a genetic eye issue which means she is slowly going blind, yay genetics!–and about what I should be eating. I lost another couple of pounds, and realized dude you’ve been trying to either maintain your weight or lose some for the last few years, and eating that stuff is going to help me gain back the weight I need to get back, either. Looks like Lean Cuisine for lunch is out, and it’s HEARTY meals for me. I need more red meat and carbs. Since I am going in late today I’ll need to pick up lunch from somewhere, and it’s most likely going to be some grotesque fast food meal. Yuck.
But I feel good and rested this morning, and I need to get things done this morning before I see my doctor, so I am going to bring this to a close and hope that you have a lovely day Constant Reader, and thanks for checking in again.
