I have recovered from the walk yesterday, especially after taking an Advil this morning and one this afternoon. I'm going to the gym with Jeannie and Donald, but I will go easy on myself.
I had thought the matter was settled as far as I'm concerned, but I got a call from the dept of anesthesia at UCD Med Center today. I still haven't cancelled the procedure scheduled for Nov. 12, but was waiting to see how I felt for the next couple of days and then cancel it Monday. Now I'm unsure.
That will be 2 days before my birthday and I hate to feel like crap on my birthday. Last year I was recovering from pneumonia, and I thought I've had a relatively good year since then.
What if they get in there and find the gallstones are all gone. Surely they have a place to go because I've had gallbladder problems for years off and on, and I'd be full up by now otherwise. Another big worry is that they won't find any gallstones so they will go looking around and find something else. I don't want to know about anything else, to tell the truth. What a dilemma and a worry just about the time when I've accepted getting older and having to change certain things in my life, but if I can't live life on my own terms, then I'm not sure I want to live it at all. I'm talking about being bedridden here, not minor issues.
So much for that - gotta get ready to go to the gym where I can work out my frustrations. I will just have to go with the flow.
My pedometer finally arrived in the mail, and like everything else they are more complicated and harder to figure out. I've used them in the past and they just count your steps. A little math problem dealing with the length of your stride, and remembering the number of feet in a mile. How could anything be easier? Now I will have to set the mode. Can I just set it on "walk" - what else could I use a pedometer for? I belong back in the 20th century! (I guess I'm just totally frustrated right now. Some physical activity is just what I need.)
- Grandkid Week!
Autumn and Arianna (Jeannie's) were over last night for a couple of hours. They are so much fun and I can have adult conversations with them. I hope to see Alyssa and Keira (Joe's) today as I have Keira's birthday present...
- Odds And Ends
I had to get up so early yesterday morning for my 7:40 appt. with the dentist, that I'm being super lazy this morning to make up for it. Actually I'm trying to finalize things for travel next week, and I've spent the entire morning doing...
- In A "buying" Mood!
I seem to be spending a lot of money lately, both on healthy food, snacks (healthy and unhealthy), as well as new walking shoes, etc. I needed the shoes and went back to Fleet Feet where I always get a good pair although expensive. I...
- Sunday Relaxin'
I drove over to Jeannie's this morning for coffee and some tasty cookies. We sat around and worked the NY Times crossword puzzle, and talked about getting an assembly line together to make tamales. It would be so much easier than one person...
- I Need A Good Cry!
I just saw the gastrointestinal Dr. who will do the bile duct procedure, but before he can do it there are a number of issues to be addressed. Dang, I'm probably in worse shape than I thought. The one good thing to come out of the visit...

It's always something
