And so it begins....

Jan 12, 2013

I met with a nurse practitioner on January 9th.  It was a long session but went well.  I think we'll get along well together.  She's going to get hold of my doctor to track down my last internal tests results so that, hopefully, I don't have to repeat them all.  Everything is within the last 2 or 3 years anyway.  She did say I still might need another scope down my throat to check my stomach.  I hate those!!!  Blood pressure was good as always, but my B12 and Iron were down.  Iron is always down, another thing to double check for her.  We both have lists of things to do before my next appt.  She has to track down tests and I have to have 1 more blood test to see if some bug might be causing my reflux.  I only wish.  I also have to start taking B12, D and a multi vitamin daily.  I have to get in that habit.  I have to stop caffeine, so my regular green tea is stopping plus I have to cut back on my Diet Coke.  That will be the hard one.  I also gave away my liquid Advil because it's a blood thinner.  Other than that we were good, not much wrong with my health, it's the pain that is sending me this direction.  Next appt is Feb 25 with the behaviourist and the dietician.  I was given a time line of 3-9 months before surgery and I'm praying it's early.
