It's a new day with a few bumps in it.

I am excited. No getting around it. When I went to the doctor's office for a physical on Monday, they said the "s" word. Yeah, surgery!!!! "Since you are getting close to surgery." Oooooh that sounds good!!! I'm trying to be patient but not doing a very good job......I'm jumping up and down.....well, I would if I could!!! I really thought, so naive, the testing was done......ohhh no. The nurse practioner that did the physical read labs and said, oh my you are a 7. A seven, oh, I dreamed about that for years, and here I thought I was a 26/28! No silly, a 7 vitamin D level. Darn. Well, what does that mean? It means you have to take mega amounts of vitamin D before surgery and get that level up to the normal range which is 32-100. Oh, and by the way, I think you should have a sleep test, a scan of your thyroid, a cardiology clearance, and throw in some more blood work. And I thought I was done with tests and on my way to the OR. Darn again. I still have my surgery appointment on the 22nd of this month (May). It will be interesting to see if these tests are done by then. I've got to call that office today and start nagging for the referrals. They are notoriously slow to get things done in there. Don't they know I'M HAVING SURGERY? Patience Mary....nope, got none at this point. Still working on the temple, got it down by 35 pounds on my scale. (I love my scale, its 2 pounds less than the surgeons lol). For all of us waiting, the time seems to go so sssslllllloooooooooooooww. I'll look back at this and say "silly duck" what were you making all the fuss about! (No I won't, I'll think, poor old thing, why did you wait 62 years?)
