Good Morning Weekenders
Had a busy morning so far and the sun has come out.
Peke, I remember when my mum died and I went back to work some people just avoided me, I imagine not knowing what to say. I felt a bit shunned but I know some people just don’t know what to say. I wasn’t upset or anything on the outside, just went about my job as usual.
Hope all goes well at the doctors. Yes you are worth it. They do a job just like many of us. The person who knows about us best is Us! If you’re feeling nervous write down what you want to say to them. Nice work on the run and climb!
Least sorry the meds made you sick. Did you have anti sickness pills to take too or can you get some.
Aly, all the best at the dentists.
So sad to hear of Barnsdall tornadoes. Amazing how resilient the people are. DD interesting to hear how you and your family grew up prepared for tornadoes. I would think having a calm and organized approach helps.
Congratulations to all Weekenders on another day sober!
Love to all xxxx

I’m not as nice as Peke 🙂 but I’d always say something.

Peke, absolutely, speak up for yourself with your PCP. We all deserve to be heard and treated with compassion by medical professionals. And 100 plus days! Go girl!
DD, your quip about Fords made me laugh. I saw a cute Fiat yesterday and was reminded of the old joke, Fix It Again Tony!
Least, I hope you may be feeling better.

Least, thinking of you and hope you are feeling better. Sending love and prayers.
Grateful to be sober.
Going to the dentist today. Up early. I have to get up and get moving pretty soon.
Have a wonderful day all.

The ragtop GTX was cool.Cobras were built in the UK too by a company called A/C (Shelby Cobras were known as A/C Cobras here) Later they even made some fancy Italian coachbuilt versions (Frua) with independent coil spring suspension that few Brits could afford. This is a convertible or spyder. The leggy actress is Canadian born Linda Thorson who drove it 1960s TV series the Avengers (nothing to do with the movie franchise)

Hey everyone.
My primary care appointment went pretty well.
I had forgotten that he’s leaving the practice. We discussed that for a while. Then I thought “okay, maybe I shouldn’t bring up the bladder issue. Might as well wait until I see the next doctor and get a new relationship established”. But then I began to cross my legs (because I had to use the rest room again). And I decided to bring it up.
We looked back at my chart. I’d tried the ditropan back in 2018. And it wasn’t the SR (extended release). So he agreed to put me on the low dose SR version. And if I can tolerate it (no fainting etc especially when I run/cycle) then I can titrate the dose and double it weekly until I get relief. We discussed the more expensive drug ($400/month). We agreed that I would explore that drug only if this one didn’t work.
Also, I hadn’t had a lipid panel done since ‘16. It was really good back then. But I got more confidence up and said that I’d like have that redone. He agreed.
So all in all a really good appointment. I did apologize a lot. I did a lot of “sorry to bother you with this”. If I’m being honest he was late seeing me because the person next door took a long time. I should’ve held back on the apologies. I’m a relatively easy patient and I had salient points to make. And I was quick, too, in and out.
So it was a win!! But less apologizing next time. And all around. 😞

Aww. I’m sorry that this happened. I learned from this situation that if you feel like giving someone a hug, you most certainly should. When words fail us, often times actions are better.

Today I took my P meds soon after taking the zofran and eating and didn't get sick. I think I took the meds too long after taking the zofran and eating. Feel better today.
Billie and I walked almost 2.5 miles today.
