Walking Wih A Wiggle

I figured it was about time to do another update on my health status. Doing it here is much easier than repeating it over and over on the phone.

Okay, so I finally have a primary care doctor. Yay! I've seen her twice so far and have another appointment scheduled for the first part of December. Being out of touch with 21st century healthcare, as I was prior to the heart attacks, makes for a number of doctor appointments until everything is taken care of.


I've had a mammogram done, twice actually. The first one showed 'something', 'something' that, thank God, wasn't there in the second one. My mother died from breast cancer but I don't think it's genetic. I think she got it from taking medications, hormones specifically.


I've had my medications changed. I am now down one less prescription and no longer feel like there are baby robins fluttering in my chest. I also no longer have to run to the bathroom every fifteen minutes. I kept telling the cardiologist it was the meds but he disagreed. I was right.


I've had an MRI on my knee, the one that I injured two years ago when I fell on the jagged concrete. I'm waiting for the results. The doctor wanted to make sure I didn't have a torn ligament.


I go to physical therapy three times a week for the knee. It's painful as can be but my knee is getting better, I think.


If you call in the mornings and I'm not around, do not panic. I'm probably at physical therapy or yet another doctor appointment. And if I sound exhausted when we talk, it's the therapy. It's really hard work.


Be good and be careful, take care, stay strong.


hugs, Tawny
