bandaid, big girl pants, blessed, blood work, bruising, Dynacare, health, healthcare, moments, needle, Technology, widow

last week a staff person from Dynacare came by to do my blood work…

over the last few years I’ve seen four or five of their staff… this time is was a fellow whose been quite a few times…he’s very efficient and I didn’t even feel the needle go in;-)…

I wore the bandaid for a while and when I removed it, there was only a tiny pink spot without any bruising…

although my healthcare plan doesn’t cover the cost it feels worth it to have them come by the house…

right…

A1C, big girl pants, blood work, exercise, gentle, ice, knee, pain, pedicure, physio, purple, right, sore, walk, widow

my goodness, crazy busy day…

woke up really early and watched a few tv shows…

had difficulty walking as my right knee has gone from a bit of discomfort to serious pain…

got ready and went for blood work for my next doctor’s appointment… I always try not to stress but it is difficult as I wonder if I’ve consumed the wrong foods which could have raised my A1C… the technician did a great job as I barely have a mark on my arm… yay…

was able to get in for a pedicure at the last minute and it went well… a few times I had to hold my leg as the aesthetician worked on it… she had lovely purple hair and is the most gentle person on staff…

then it was off to the physiotherapist office to see what they might be able to do to help my very sore knee… it had been uncomfortable for a while but in the last two days I have barely been able to walk…

he advised that is was inflamed but felt it was likely osteoarthritis… did lots of measuring, pushing and pulling and then used ultrasound and electricity on it… I have things to do three times a day and go back in a week… he mentioned that it was likely going to hurt a bit more after all his prodding… and he was right…

icing it as I write this… good news is that it should be much better by the time I head to Ottawa;-)…

healthy…

aquasize, big girl pants, blood work, chips, healthy, whole wheat

started my day with blood work for my doctor’s appointment next week…

it was very foggy on the drive to the clinic…

  
this picture came out very clear considering how foggy it was, lol…

apparently the longer you press on the spot where your blood was taken the less bruising there will be…

  
not too bad today…

been a bit worried about how my blood sugar is doing so will be glad to see the results of this test…

we tried to go to aquasize but it was cancelled… on the way home I was fantasizing about either pho soup or Clay Oven for my supper…

but instead I made chicken and spinach on a whole wheat pita and warmed up some of the zucchini soup…

  

how healthy am I…

of course I did have a small bowl of chips after the healthy dinner, lol…
