pause

3 Positives:
stack of 20 cards now ready for final assembly
file 1 is prepped for print and cut for masculine bday cards for June; one more file to go
quiet day otherwise

Our Journey Notes:
Blood draw this morning — am seeing a slight change in how I’m feeling since going off the vitamins. Thinking I might need to find a different vitamin with minimal or no Biotin in it. Could be that is what is throwing off the thyroid hormone levels. We’ll see. Should have the results by late this afternoon.

opportunities abound

3 Positives:
The tarp on the garden stayed in place last night.
Chili and cornbread for dinner last night… comfort food on a cold day
changed gears on a new holiday decor project and I think the outcome will be better

Our Journey Notes:
Spent yesterday morning at the clinic. Came away with appointments for some additional testing all of that will be completed by the 10th of June. Waiting on a callback for the MRI appointment. Migraine yesterday — didn’t help keep things on track for the rest of the day. Neuro referral on hold for the time being.

T is anxious for his eye appointment on Friday. I think he’d rather it was today or tomorrow.

be kind to yourself

3 Positives:
chose another book to read
assembled the wreath, it could use a little more greenery
got an appointment with the PCP for next week

Our Journey Notes:
I have an early in the morning appointment with my pcp next week. Long list to discuss.

T has his next flap lift procedure tomorrow afternoon. He’s taken the full day off from work and has plans to get a few more things checked off his “prepping for an earlier than planned retirement” list before and after the procedure. We’ll see how things go on the after list — I have a feeling he might want to take a long rest — he’ll be fully awake for this one, just the eye numbed and for a short time. Hoping it goes as planned and while his vision won’t improve with this procedure, we can start planning for the next one – hopefully a full lens replacement for the new cataract that has grown in his good eye since all this procedure stuff got under way last fall.

where will your thoughts take you?

3 Positives:
Learned something new —
Reading time
switching gears on a project – not a lot of progress but some

Our Journey Notes:
Snafu with T’s insurance has been resolved – though according to them, there was no problem on their side, but something from the doctor’s side. We’ll see when the office resubmits for pre-authorization for the upcoming needle lift needed for the left eye bleb scheduled for next month.

Yesterday, I learned that it’s possible that some margins of the thyroid were left during the surgery and that may be part of problem in regulating the medication and resolving the issues I’ve been experiencing since the surgery last year. The goiters were large and he felt that the surgeon may have been extremely cautious around the para thyroid – He had several recommendations to discuss with my PCP or to get another endo to work with since I wasn’t happy with the last endo/office.
