The only day I don't have an afternoon appt this coming week is tomorrow, 4/9/12. I managed to get everything scheduled for this week without having to cancel a single appt for overlap. All these appts could not come at a better time as I have not been feeling.....right lately.
Tuesday afternoon I have my annual mammogram and neck ultrasound. I missed my mammogram last year. My primary care doc said I should get it done annually, not that she thinks I have anything to worry about, but I might as well since it is covered by my insurance, but most of all, early detection is the way to go. Not too worried about my neck ultrasound since I have not felt anything in my neck, and I have not had the weird feeling along my scar in the past month.
Wednesday afternoon is my MRI. Finally. Just a little concerned that they will only look at my shoulder and not at my arm, where the pain is coming from. Hopefully I get at least one climbing session in before the MRI so I can irritate whatever it is that is injured so it will show up nice and clear. Well, I'm sure that isn't how these things work, but to me at least, I hope they find something good to explain the pain I've been having. Honestly, I don't think it is a labral (labrum) tear because that is not the type of pain I feel in my arm. If it is, then I have to have surgery to correct it. If it isn't, then I don't know. But my copay is around $103, so it better be good. Need to remember to get my labs done for my ENDO appt next week. If anything is of concern for my ThyCa, this is where it will show up.
Thursday afternoon I get my permanent bridge installed. Every now and then my temporary bridge feels like it is coming off. I remember how sensitive my gums where in that area when it came off the day of my mom's surgery, so I really hope it stays intact until this appt.
Friday afternoon, finally, is my acupuncture appt. I have managed to not get a regular exercise routine going, so not only have I gained back more weight, I also still feel really sluggish. I spent this entire weekend almost exclusively in my pj's and eating while watching TV. I am a mess. I did manage to get at least seven hours of sleep each night, well, after going to sleep between 3-4am. I need her to give me needles for relaxation, appetite control, and energy. Or, then again, maybe my period is coming.
Anyway, at least it is a week when I don't have to take my mom to one of her appts. It will just be a week that I have to deal with my own.
