Today was a busy day. I had to get up and out of the house by 745 this morning to be able to drop hubby off at work at 8 and get to my doctor's appointment by 815. I was told by the receptionist to be there at 815 even though my appointment wasn't until 845. She said I had paperwork to fill out in advance, so I show up at 815. The paperwork to fill out? A half page. She verified almost my entire file of personal information and even wanted both of my insurance cards. Sheesh! I was getting ticked off by the time she was done. I guess they need to do that for the new year but really!
I had a doctor's appointment with an Orthopedist because my left shin aches in the middle when weight is applied. I mentioned it to my general doctor and she thought I should see the specialist. So they do call me back into the waiting room a couple of minutes before my appointment and then the medical assistant took my vitals. My weight was up, 200.6lbs. My blood pressure was a little high but I can blame that on the check-in girl. Not that she was a girl, she was a woman but I didn't like her.
They gave me a pair of disposable shorts to put on so the doctor could see my shin. I just got changed and sat down to text my friend to complain about how long I thought I was going to have to wait when there was a knock at the door and the doctor comes in with his assistant. He listened to me, had me walk, had me jump up and lay down on the table. There he poked and prodded my shin. He found a couple of lumps and they were painful. He looked at the xray but didn't see much of anything, so he is ordering an MRI. And because we have had my mom, my aunt and my gramma diagnosed with Osteopina, he also ordered a bone density test. Since he is a surgeon, I will follow up with the nurse practitioner mid-February.
After I finished with the doctor's, I had time to get to my therapy appointment but I had already called and cancelled because I didn't think I would be done on time. I got out of there about an hour after I went in. So when I left, I went back to Hobby Lobby. I found another floral bouquet marked down to $8.50, some ribbon for 50% off and some fabric glue for regular price. So I whipped out my handy smart phone and got a coupon to use for the fabric glue, 40% off. Yeah, everything I got was marked down! Score!!!
I managed to get back to hubby's work and we drove me home and dropped me off. He was taking a short lunch so only stayed a moment. I made some lunch and took my Pepsi and when upstairs to the computer. And that is where I spent the rest of my day, watching tv and playing on the computer.
