New heart meds.
Different statin.
New high blood pressure med, that also helps with my heart crap.
Vitamin D, because I apparently do not have a level that could be found. Should help with nearly every health issue I have.
Transitioning from oral meds for diabetes to more oral meds plus insulin. I can hardly wait.
Some weird preliminary something from my pap test, but I cannot handle worrying about it now.
Bone density testing, colonoscopy (freaking yikes), mammogram and some other damn things still to come. I can hardly wait.
My anti-anxiety med came back at nearly $127.00/US per month, and that was after the insurance discount. Under the old insurance plan it was $10.00/US per month. It is one that most people cannot tolerate taking, weird side effects and all that, but it has worked like a charm for me; I really hate to give it up. Oh, well, until I find a med that my insurance will cover I will just have to embrace skittering out of my skin for a while. Should really be a boost to the fighting downstairs. I can hardly wait.
Other than that, my new doctor is a dream come true. As recently as four months ago, my old doctor was noodling around and not addressing the problems I was having. To find the new doc and have her be someone this thorough and assertive about treating the few things I have is, well, it is a little stunning, as well as being reassuring. More than reassuring.
I meet with a diabetic clinic person in two weeks, see my doc three weeks following that, to retest my blood and adjust meds as needed.
I am used to needles, both for myself and as a vet tech and owner of pets with extraordinary needs. If you are fuzzy I can treat your diabetes and hyper-thyroidism, give you infusions, administer vaccinations, rid you of worms and other parasites, and neuter you. I really can. So, none of that should be a problem. I can hardly wait.
Other than that, I feel just fine, like usual. Although, as I spent the afternoon thinking about all of this, there might be a chance that when all the dust/drugs/needles settle that I might begin to have more energy. It surely would be wonderful to find the right types and amounts of
The fall I took last week is healing and I can lift my leg again and get into and out of the car with ease. I have new library books and some DVDs
Oh, and I am calling my new doc Sawbones because she told me that if I am going to keep falling so much that I had better get a bone density test done pronto.
I finally made an appointment with the dentist just down the block. I can walk there. Turns out that even though I do not have a plan that requires me to choose from a
I have tomorrow with no appointments, nothing to do except sort art supplies or if that gets too strenuous, I have fillums. Guardians of the Galaxy. Maleficent. Maze Runner. The Hundred Foot Journey.
I can hardly wait.
I am sort of regretting making this the week when I do or arrange for all of this stuff. So much easier to crawl back into my lair, dark and quiet and lovely space that it is.
Just as well you had the tests done, J. I hate having them too.
