Nov 10th Dr. visit

Nov 21, 2011

Well it started out good. I  am down 42 pounds since surgery. But that is where the visit ended. I sat in that hot small boring room for an hour and a half. I feel asleep for a little while waiting on the doctor. After about an hour I opened the door and and the girls said "he hasn't seen you yet?" So I waited another half hour and they came in and said that he had taken on some cancer patients that another doctor was responsible for that had left. Well it would not have been a problem for me had they told me 30 minutes into to the visit then I would not have been so upset. It was more frustrating than anything. So needless to say I was not a happy camper when I left there.  Pat called me today to give me the results of my blood work (that is another story I ended up having 7 vials drawn they had to poke me 3 times to get that then the lab lost one of the vials so they had to redo it and poke me two more times a couple of days later) but the results were pretty good except that my protein and iron are low. I try to get in enough protein but I guess I was not so working harder to get it in.. As for the iron I am taking a pill daily but she said to start including Vitamin C when I take the iron and take it twice a day. Maybe if I up the protein I will start losing faster. Still  doing the water aerobics 3x a week. Looking forward to 2012 when I get to start seeing a personal trainer 5x a week at work. I should really start seeing results when that starts happening. My husband had a seizure on saturday he fell off the lawn mower and hit his head on the concrete sidewalk (lucky for him the kill switch on the mower happens when you get off the seat) I was totally freaked out. His PCP has given him a new drug to help with his seizures. Crossing my fingers.
