(Any of you Monty Python fans recognize that line?)
Thought I'd change up my blog site background. This one looks so cheery, and it's also the one that the "Eggface" lady uses. Hope you like it and I hope I didn't confuse anyone (if anyone is reading this).
Had my doctor's appointment on Thursday. Most of my blood work numbers were good (although he didn't have them do cholesterol numbers, which was odd since he had specifically changed my meds at the last visit - wouldn't you think he'd want to know how it's doing? I know I sure do). But my A1C (3 month blood sugar number) was higher than 6 months ago. It was 5.0 in March - which is great - this time it was 6.5. They want it at 6.4 or below. I figured it would be higher than in March because I am now able to eat "food" and back then it was just mush. So, he put me back on one of my diabetic meds (Metformin). Only one/day, but still was disappointing. He lowered my thyroid meds and told me to take 1/2 of one blood pressure med (because he now feels my BP is too low!). He forgot to go over the results of my bone density test, but I had already gone to the internet to review what it meant and it's all good. So all in all a good appointment (and, I'm secretly in love with Dr. Salama so it was nice to see him - oh, no secret now, is it?).
I also had my permanent crown put in on Thursday. Piece of cake. But why do they cost so much? I have to pay $400 for this because my insurance coverage exceeded the max for the year after the root canal. How do they think you can have a root canal and not get a crown to go with it? I paid somewhere around $250 for the root canal (I think) and now $400 for this. I will be showing everyone this fancy crown so I can get my money's worth!! Ask me about my new crown next time you see me!
And finally, the job scene. It is dismal. I had another informational interview for my old job and was told that now it requires a degree. I applied for another job which would be a lateral move for me, it didn't require a degree, but they still decided not to interview me. Nothing on the horizon. I am thinking I may become a bag lady. Trying not to be discouraged. If nothing comes up before my termination date, look out California because I'm coming for a LONG visit in January!!!
Today I am thinking of going to try to sell some of my fat(ter) lady clothes. I heard you don't get much for them, but I need to get rid of them and if I can get a few bucks, why not. I also have about 6-7 bags of clothing that I know the consignment store won't touch that are going to the Lupus Foundation on Monday. Clean sweep! Also starting to clean/prep for Chris and Chelsea's visit next week!
Have a good weekend. And try something completely different!
