Something New
I just noticed EP has a new feature called EPinions....where you can review various weight loss and fittness products....it must be brand new because I did not see any reviews yet....but that is pretty cool....because that is information we all share all the time anyway and now it will be in one handy location.
OK...where to start on me and my life issues.......
I saw my regular Dr yesterday.....he said the report on my stress test was good....he said we are still going to keep an eye on my cholesterol...this time I remembered to ask what it was....it was 239....and my bad was 146.....so he drew it again....I think if I'm bringing it down on my own....he won't throw another pill at me....but I remember my Dad had a dickens of a time with his....so I may have some heriditary stuff too.....then I asked...what about this cough?...He said we are going to change your B/P med....I was on Lisopril...which is a Ace Inhibitor...which it is pretty common to cause a dry hacky cough...so now I'm on Norvasc....I didn't tell him that I had the cough before I was on the lisopril...cuz I think I was also smoking then....so now I guess we are eleiminating possible cough causes...and seeing....he asked how the no smoking was going...I said great...he said good maybe we can get you off the welbrutin soon...I said I don't want to be off that...because I feel really good now that I'm on it.....so I go back in 3 weeks...to see how my cough and cholestrol are doing. Today is my first physical therapy...for my back and hip....I'm anxious to get those body parts healthy so I can start exercising again.
My MIL is driving Bill and I absolutely nuts.....she thinks she is having problems with her ears....but 4 doctors have told her there is nohing wrong with her ears....it is long and complicated...sometimes she says her ears are closing up and sometimes she says they hurt....but they even did and MRI and there is nothing wrong....but she won't listen to reason and Bill and I are just beside our selves......it is to the point I don't even want to be in the same room alone because she will corner me and start saying crazy things....like yesterday she said she hs it figured out ...that at this rate her ears will be completely closed by Mar 14.....I think I'm going to call her octor before her next appointment and see if this fixation on her ears is part of the alzhiemers...or something.
We made our B&B reservations yesterday for Santa Fe and Taos....we didn't get into the one I wanted in Taos....they are pretty busy due to Spring Break skiers....but still found a nice one....I didn't realize there would be snow....I'm not a cold weather person.....we were going for the art....and to get away....alone.....no crazy talk of ears.
Just got a call from my doctor's office as I'm writing this...my cholesteral yesterday was 323.....so he said I could continue with my diet....I'm doing good.....yay...me...!!!!
