Saturday That I Thought Was Sunday, Lack of Confidence

 When I sleep long in the middle of the day, sometimes I think it is the next day. That is what happened Saturday. It is a strange feeling. 

Finally, Tommy decided it was melted enough to venture out to mailbox and to get papers from the doctor. I left them in the glovebox. When I tried to read directions for bloodwork, the printer was out of ink as only a shadow was on the page. Neither of us could read it. So, I will have to get this mailed to me. 

Then, I was horrified to read a diagnosis, then another, neither of which I have ever heard or read on a chart! That will necessitate a call to confirm. Also, I wonder how the cardiologist came up with this diagnosis. As I continued turning pages, nothing is legible, just shadows.

When I used the ellipse on Friday, my feet were injured from using the lymphedema therapy, so I used neither. So, no steps today. The top of my left foot was hurting the whole hour of therapy. Plus, it did not quit hurting Saturday, so I did not want to chance squeezing it again or using Ellipse. When I did steps on Friday, it hurt. Plus, my heel, part that touches the floor was hurt by the squeezing. sigh No steps and no squeezing for Saturday. A few years ag the bones in top of my left foot hurt so that I used any means I could to keep foot from touching floor. Doctor did xray and told me it was age-related arthritis. YAY! Better than a broken bone. It bothers me about twice a year. 

Then there is a notation that I am on insulin. I am not. And, that I have venous insufficiency. I do not. However, I was tested for it. It makes me wonder about this old doctor. 

On Saturday night, I had baked chicken, cooked cabbage, carrots. Tommy had the same, plus baked potatoes. 

There was very little snow left when the sun went down. We have needed nothing, so it appears our preps for this weather were sufficient. 

Would you have confidence in this doctor? 

Do you have age-related arthritis? How does it affect you? So far, it seems only to affect top of left foot and back of left hand, no fingers.
