I had my appointment with the Dermatologist today. The lady that saw me was young and seemed competent. She didn’t find anything to be concerned about. She did tell me to watch a couple moles on my legs but unless they start changing I don’t have to go back for one year. That was a relief to hear.
I dropped off half of Jim’s birthday cake to the kiddos along with a double batch of chocolate chip cookies I baked last night. They weren’t home from school yet so I left them on their porch. Sorry I didn’t get to see the kiddos for a hot minute but safer that I didn’t.
Stopped and got some milk and more chicken noodle soup and headed home. My tummy is still a bit unsettled so I am back on chicken noodle soup for a couple of days. I have been trying to eat regular foods but thinking my tummy doesn’t like them so much. I have been eating crackers and soup today along with some dry toast. It is settling things down a bit and I haven’t had to run but three times so far today. Yesterday I think the count was 12 but I lost count.
What a difference a day makes in the weather on the prairie. It is mid 40’s today. The wind is in a big hurry and blowing from the north. We are to get a hard freeze over the next couple of days. Possible snow or wintery mix is coming in Monday or Tuesday. Not sure I am ready for that. It is to be back in the 60’s by next Thursday and Friday. Gotta love the ever changing weather on the prairie.
I have chili in the crock pot cooking for dinner tonight. I doubt that I will eat any of it though. It does smell divine and makes me hungry but I don’t want to have another set back and have to run all night long.
We have been watching the wildfires around Grand Lake and Estes Park. Sounds like it is still too hot to evaluate and know what has been burned. Sad to see the videos of the devastation that is happening. Snow is coming to the mountains on Sunday but they still have the rest of today and Saturday before it comes in. Scary for all involved.
We don’t have any plans for the weekend. Monday I have a mammogram in the afternoon. A week from today we are going to Stillwater for ten days. It will be nice to have a change in scenery. Hoping we get lots of work done on Jim’s house.
Feeling more calm and settled today. The wind yesterday did a number on me. It is still windy today but somehow not as distressing for me. Jim did the chicken chores so I haven’t had to be out in it. I dug out a heavy blanket to put on the bed when I made the bed this morning. I like sleeping in a cold bedroom with lots of warm covers.
I haven’t had a nap yet today and so far don’t feel like I need one. That is progress I guess.
I sent a note to the scheduling person for the doctor we are trying to switch to. She had told me she would call back in two days and never called. She told me my doctor hasn’t sent them my files yet. They had received the files from Jim’s doctor in Stillwater. I guess I am not surprised my doctor’s nurse dropped the ball yet again. I must say I am not impressed with the scheduling office of the new doctor though. This is turning into a month long project just to get a first appointment. Why is this so complicated?
Feeling like my energy level is returning a bit. This is the third day back on antibiotics. Hoping that my energy continues to return and build back up again. I’m ready to get on with my life and close this C Diff chapter once and for all.
Grateful the Dermatologist gave me an all clear report today, grateful Jim did the chicken chores today, and grateful for my fireplace and the heat it provides.
