Cardiology has given the go ahead for the weight loss surgery. The doctor and the nurse were actually both very encouraging. Thanks!
I had an EKG and the doctor listened to my heart and my lungs. I was very surprised to learn that there is in fact a heart inside of me. Who knew?
What’s next? My second Dietician appointment is next week. Wednesday, to be exact. Oh boy.
Two hours until my cardiology appointment.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I’m starting to feel really nervous. Like, full on scared.
This is good. This is worthwhile. This is a positive endeavor. Why the hell can’t I just calm down about it?
Ugh. Think I’ll change the cat litter to distract myself for 10 minutes.
Two hours to go.
My mother is still in the hospital. She’ll be there overnight. She has a UTI but she’s in a lot of pain. They are admitting her. That’s a good thing, I think, but she’s not happy about it.
Work has been stressful AF today, as the kids these days like to say. That combined with my mother’s situation has been enough to keep me from stressing over my own doctor’s appointment tomorrow. I am going to see the Cardiologist. I need Psych, Cardiology, and Dietary to sign off on my weight loss surgery. Psych is all set. Cardiology is next. Dietary will be on going for a while longer. I don’t know how much longer, I just know it’s on going.
I don’t know what they are going to do to me tomorrow. I’m assuming an EKG or something. I have my fingers crossed that it won’t involve a stress test. I need this to go well. I’m not feeling the terror I usually feel leading up to an appointment, but it’ll probably come soon enough.
The contractor is coming back this afternoon. There’s another one coming tomorrow. After that? I don’t know. My in-the-office day will be Wednesday this week instead of Thursday. That’s probably going to mess up my internal calendar in a big way. I’ll live.
Okay. Lunch break over. Back to work.
PS: It’s NHL trade deadline day today and the Bruins just picked up another defenseman. Also, I heard they extended DeBrusk? The guy who’s been asking for a trade all year. Interesting. I’m cool with that.
Okay, now back to work.
