@PamfromCT @cowboy sam @geezerette @Yahooey. Today was first appointment with new primary care doctor. I like her and feel encouraged. I have gained weight. She said do full bloodwork and other priority first. She will be referring me to a different mammogram center that has machines that can be lowered and patient sitting in wheelchair: not just saying you need to get this done.

I was stressed with anxiety and my speech change with difficulty finishing sentences and she knew it was from my cerebral palsy.

She witnessed my need for motorized wheelchair. She is referring me for special needs evaluation, will obtain orthopaedic records and is confident to get this insurance approved.

She was shocked that my last and only bone scan was in 2016 and will be working on this. I told her about the eye surgery. She will be seeing me every 4 months to get me updated on everything, but stressed to call when needed .

I was tired and hurting but went with DH and SIL to eat lunch. I enjoyed a delicious chicken pot pie.

My 84 year old friend has phumonia. I sent her a text when I returned home and still no reply.🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@cowboy sam : Can't sleep. DH is snorning and not using his bipap machine. He can't get his needed supplies.His pulmonary doctor retired and appointment with new doctor not until October.🙄🙄

My mind is on fast forward with everything. I desperately need to finish the purge and reorganizing my middle room. I really need to purge more stuff. Room still looks  like junk.

SiL will be coming after lunch to dispose of big boxes and take last coffee pot  that DH didnt like to donation place. Trying to see if I can give her more stuff from my room. 

Downsizing from bulk purchases because not doing a lot of cooking.Only bulk items will be toilet paper and kleenex cause we use a lot with sinus issues and tummy problems.

I am so sleepy and alarm clock set for 8:30. Yesterday had to get up at 6.

Sure hope you are feeling better.  Wish I lived close to you and Bee, so I could drive you girls around.  I give you credit for all your exercise,  but please take it easy.  Take It Easy is my motto, unlike years past!

Lubs ya!

@SouthernBee 

I am sorry about your friend being sick.  I do hope she is getting the best of care and will pray.

I am happy that your new doctor sounds good and caring.  You certainly deserve that.  I like that she will bring you up to date on treatments and will follow through and advocate for you.  She sounds like a winner!  That will help to take some stress off.  Glad you and DH had a nice lunch!

@PamfromCT : Thank you. It was a difficult decision and I shouldn't have waited. This office has a lab, xrays, and bone scan and other services.Plus near our house and easier access parking lot and building.

@SouthernBee 

I am truly sorry to hear that your DH is having trouble getting medication he needs and also has to wait until October to get to see his new doctor.

I know it is hard, but try to do what you can to pick up and reorganize your room.  You will get it done.  Try to be kind to yourself.  Been there, done that.  

I do believe that so much more attention must be given to health care and making it available to all easily.  And for us folks who have worked all our lives, we all deserve the high level of care we need.  We do need more doctors.

Hope your SIL can take out major stuff for you.  I think we grow stuff in our place, mail, boxes, stuff we need,

stuff we need to really stock up on.  

Please take care of yourself.  

Lubs ya!

@SouthernBee 

I'm very happy to hear that it seems like you finally got a decent doctor!  I hope she does do all that she said.  You have needed someone like this for a long time.  And the fact that it's easier for you to get to her office is icing on the cake.

 @geezerette  : Thank you and totally agree. Praying she will made a difference and will get results with the wheelchair request.

It has been more traffic and noise in the neighborhood the last few days because fiberoptics( sp) install. They are now in our yard at the curb. DH will be upset because he has someone picking him up at 10:30 for lunch and hopefully the crew will finish soon. The sound really circulating in our cul d sac (sp). Just woke up because of all the noise.

Enjoy your weekend. . Praying for you and your sister.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
