I was dead right. I knew if I just waited it out my face would cure itself. I just didn't figure it out fast enough. Yesterday morning I rolled out of chair and pulled on my boots. I fed Emma, put Molly out, put Emma out and headed out the door by seven thirty. I got to the doctor before it even opened. In I go, remove my boots, walk five feet to the desk, she writes my name down and I am done. I wasn't in there even two minutes. "Come back at 12:15" Okay. Sigh.
So I headed home, showered, did more on my closet then headed back down at 11:30. This method always irks me but I do get an appointment the same day. But, I noticed as soon as I got home that my baseball size lump had reduced down to a couple of marbles and didn't really hurt anymore. CRAP!!!! If I had noticed earlier I would not have gone in.
But I did and now I am kind of glad I did. He gave me the overall and then checked my face. My blood pressure is now down to 130 over 65. My blood sugar is a steady 4.3 with the occasional dip to 3.3. I have lost another ten pounds. And my face is definitely a blocked saliva gland which is getting better on its own. Good, good, good and good!! And he was friendly as hell.
But...before I was called in I was out in the waiting room with one other lady. An older gentleman who beat the two of us in the door at eight am was in with the doctor. As soon as you enter the place you have to remove your shoes. There is a little place you put them and you put them back on when you leave. Save germs or something. So the only shoes that were there were the lady's that was waiting, mine, a gentleman's and over at another spot were three employee's shoes.
The old man came out of the doctors office and went to get his shoes. And they were gone. Completely gone! We all looked and looked and looked everywhere. They were slip on brown oxford Rockports...not cheap shoes. He was very good natured about it but not happy really. He ended up having to leave in his stocking feet with those disposable pull on booties. The poor guy!
Today the colonoscopy nurse called and I did another interview. She was so good and reassuring. One clever thing I did was tell her I can't lay down without my hip seizing up. I told her that even when I am under conscious sedation at the dentist I squirm around. So she said that she would make a note of that with the dr. and maybe they can give me a little extra!!! Yes!!! Just what I wanted!! Put me out people...the more the better!
So enough about me and my health. Boring!!! TTYL
So glad to hear that it was a positive dr appt! I worry. Can't help it. I've been dealing with illness after illness here and we found the root cause this past weekend! We live in a fairly small townhouse and we have stuff strategically stored in every nook and cranny. If Ray wasn't OCD then we'd be hoardersRus around here. So he unstuffed a cranny to get into our furnace room. The one I use a flash light to go into a few times a year to either change a filter or light the pilot light. Well Ray says there's water all over in there. Huh. Let's have a lookski. Well if there wasn't a tiny leak in the sewage pipe that was leaking only enough to cause a black mold mess right where the furnace blows all our nice moist mouldy air throughout the house! I've had an asthma cough now for two days while I dealt with the mess and had the plumber in here today to patch it up until I can have the cement dug up. Oh Joy! At least it's all figured out and bleached out and filters changed! Now we can all get healthy and then pretty quick we'll be dealing with cement lung instead of black lung! Glad to hear you have your sugars in check and your blood pressure is improving and your salivator is salivating!
