big girl pants, doctor, medical card, monarch, pond, printer, water, yikes

the pond wasn’t running when I got up this morning… not good… the water had gone down so low that the float stopped the pump…

took more than twenty minutes to get it to the level that it started to flow again… and I didn’t have any more time to finish filling it…

meanwhile I was running around the house searching for my medical card… which I didn’t find… still have quite a few items to put away as I pulled them out looking for the darn thing… when I went to Ottawa I only took things I felt I would need and left the rest in two places… thought I took it, but it is nowhere to be found…

I needed it because I had a meet and greet appointment with a new general practitioner… 

to top off the trio of issues, the printer wouldn’t spit out an outline of some of my medical history which I wanted to take with me… yikes… emailed it to the office and did it there…

thankfully was able to go and pick up a new card while I was downtown…

took this picture of a spot I used to walk to every day after work to meet my friend and driving buddy…

  
I do like water, lol so it was lovely to see it… felt like 30°C out there…

met the doctor and he was prepared to accept me as a patient, which was great news… he is a recent grad and very personable… and is part of a good-sized clinic much closer to home…

looking forward to getting to know him better…

  
haven’t seen any monarchs snacking on this yet…

big girl pants, dietitian, doctor, glucose, insurance, loose, pants

having a problem with my pants… they are getting very loose…

not long ago I had to pin up a pair at work because I was afraid they might fall down…

ones that did fit better are now getting quite loose as well…

think I may need to go out and get a couple of pairs of smaller ones although I do worry whether I can actually fit into the next smallest size…

continue to have more energy and my glucose levels are levelling out…

a few days ago I spoke with my health care insurance providers and discovered that they need a letter from my doctor and will then cover the cost of the strips, which are expensive… looking forward to getting the letter from the doctor when I see her next week… I also need her to include a request for an appointment with a dietitian…

seems like you need a doctor’s letter to get most anything from the insurance company…

the car…

Baby, big girl pants, doctor, driving to and from work, groin injury, the car, under the weather

don’t drive the car much… usually ride with someone to work and back… so the kids have been using it as one of their vehicles is a little under the weather…

my ride to work is planning on doing different things at the end of the day so I have to make some alternate plans for getting home over the spring and summer months…

Baby, as we call her...

Baby, as we call her…

one of my colleagues is off work for quite a while following some surgery so I arranged to use their spot while they are away…  so I will be taking the car to and from work for the month of May…  a bit ahead of schedule, but for the last few days I’ve brought it to work due to various other circumstances…

today, I had to go to my doctor… I finally broke down and made an appointment as my side hasn’t been recuperating as fast as I had hoped and there aren’t that many days until I leave for the cruise…

the thing is, he agreed with what I thought was wrong, but diagnosed it as a groin injury… this is particularly funny as one of my grandsons had a similar injury on the weekend… so now I have to take drugs at bedtime and spend some time having physiotherapy…  but the good news is that it should be all better by the time I leave…

not sure if I will be liking driving the car to and from work or not… I guess we’ll see how those big girl  pants are fitting…

brings to mind hearing a colleague say something the other day about borrowing my big girl pants, lol…
