Wow! That is a lot of back and forth to doctor appointments. That can wear you out quick. I hope you have someone to help you during this time.

How’s those toes doing today SummersIsTooHOT?

Cadee, I too like all my Drs in the same health system. They can share my health data and communicate with each other so much more efficiently.

Well, my 9pm alarm to turn on my front porch light just went off. Glad it stays set for those nights I am knocked out from exhaustion. Yes, last night was totally awful and hope tonight is better. Luv this site but some humans got to add stress to it because they can/lol 🤣😂  Had me up all night p.ssed off. But I forgive this person.  👍👍👍

Allen @Therapist4u , thinking of you my friend.

(6 comments) Lol, I am feeling so UNluved = no one has asked about my 8am doctor's appointment YESTERDAY.  🙄🙄🙄

[DianeB887812]

Soooooo…. Tell me all about your Dr visit!

[Winter2024]

(4 comments) Thanks for asking Diane @DianeB887812  🤗🤗🤗

I have bloodwork on the 24th. She asked if I had trauma with toes. Nope! Anyway, circulation is okay. She checked that.

 Glad that they are doing the bloodwork on you.  Hopefully it will explain the problem with your toes.  People don't have blue toes!!  Good news:   I had my tele-health appt. with the doctor in CA.  He said the inflammation in my body was off the charts so he not only agreed to continue the medication until I see the new doctor BUT to increase the dosage due to the amount of pain that I am in.  He will do blood test in 6 weeks to check on me.  I truly appreciated this.  Secondly, my cardiologist forwarded all the necessary records, referrals and I should be getting an appointment with a new cardiologist soon.  I STRONGLY suggest anyone needing new doctors start early in the process because it takes a lot of phone calls and a long, long time to accomplish this.  Just a reminder:  for those of us that spent years caring for another, must now spend that time and energy caring for oneself.  Take Care  

[MarcyW882921]

Cadee @Cadee2719 ,

I like your good news about your telehealth appointment. You now have two of your doctors working to bridge the gap as you transition to your new doctors. Your persistence has paid off and your advice is helpful for people who are planning a move. You are doing great in the self-care department!

Marcy

[DianeB887812]

Well hmph! No real answers. Good that circulation is ok. I would keep my feet up as much as possible. Any swelling?

Can you tell Dr Diane is nosy? Remember you asked! 

By the way I spent 3 hrs at the vehicle Tag and registration office. Yuk! Husband was disabled and now I need to go back to regular parking. Also wanted to make sure I can sell/ trade in my current 2004 car without issues. So I lied and did not take the day off but this was a good thing to get done and did not require a lot of thinking. 
keep me up to date on your toes if you don’t mind. I need someone to worry about 😉

[MarcyW882921]

Diane @DianeB887812 ,

You got another thing marked off your list! I don't know what you will do with your current car, but I will mention that I had a good experience selling my husband's car with Carvana. It was pretty easy and straightforward, it was completed in a short period of time, I got a reasonable price, and with a relatively small extra money amount they came to my house and picked it up.

How are YOU?  🤔

Today is my Out Of Food Run to Walmart.

Gosh, still hoping to run into employee Dalinda there. And if not, hanging on to the MEMORIES AND GRATITUDE of having met her.

Everyone FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗

[DianeB887812]

Nothing scheduled for today. I think I’ll try taking a day off and see how it goes. Got some good sleep last night but I still feel tired. But I’m not surprised, I’ve been working overtime since April doing the caregiver role. It was brutal. I deserve a day off. 😉

[MarcyW882921]

Diane @DianeB887812 ,

It's good that you are being gentle with yourself. Caregiving and loss take an enormous toll on the body and it will take more than one night of quality sleep to recover. Self-care is important so take the day off and treat yourself well!

(2 comments)  Any PBS fans out there? Luv any of the shows in the attachment? I am headed to WATCH Grantchester and Profesor T. They air on Sundays with a video AVAILABLE for free on MONDAYS on their PBS app. I use the Android cell phone version. Lol, and Mr. (you know who  🐈🐱) was here about 15 minutes ago. Left. So his happy a.s will be OUTSIDE if he decides to return. NO ONE messes with my PBS TIME. See you!!! Nicole  👵

[Cadee2719]

  LOVE PBS!

[MarcyW882921]

Enjoy Nicole @Winter2024 ! I like watching Grantchester too. 😁

I did it! I was dreading taking care of one last hospital bill but the insurance support person solved the problem while I was on the phone with her. What a relief!

Then there was a bank account problem I needed to get fixed. The support person was super helpful and that issue should be fixed sometime next week. 

So now I’m taking a break for the rest of today.  I did not sleep last night worrying about having to deal with these two issues. Now tonight I can try to sleep without worrying about them. 

[MarcyW882921]

Diane @ DianeB887812 ,

It is such a relief to happen upon knowledgeable, supportive people when you are dealing with issues that are sometimes sensitive and complicated! I'm glad that happened for you today and wish you a good quality sleep tonight with those things off your mind!

[DianeB887812]

Not to worry. I walk in the early mornings and late evenings. The rest of the day I’m in my air conditioned apartment.
