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.

true treasures…

3 Positives:
Lovely walk yesterday morning – the weather was perfect
visited with a friend
started the prep work to paint the ramp

Our Journey Notes:
My doctor appointment went about as planned. Got a couple of answers and an offer for a referral to a change in headache meds if needed. Declined for right now. Blood work results are in – expecting a call this morning from the office. TSH levels are up a bit — so that’s better. Still have some complaints, but there is some improvement since February. Just need to give it a little more time. The other blood test shows a higher level, not good, but grateful we talked about it so we have a plan in place for next steps – for now, we watch.
