Medical Day

[days_unfolding]

I had my appointment with the sleep doctor this morning. I was worried if I'd be able to get the car out, but I did. It wound up being a long meeting with the sleep doctor with lots of questions, but she ordered me a CPAP. She said that it would take a week or two to come in, which is a lot faster than the last time. She thought that it was really cool that I'm a librarian, and she also thought my cruise in December sounded cool!

Hmm. I was reading bill_schubert's entry about the medical journal, and that got me wondering if I should keep one. I'm accumulating doctors (psychiatrist at another hospital, primary care, now this sleep doctor, plus possibly more due to my bad knee and tingly hand). Oh, the joys of getting older.

I took Bella to the vet this afternoon. (Luckily, most of my colleagues have pets and many also are getting older, so they're cool about it). She dealt with the exam and shots all right. What freaked her out? Getting her nails clipped. Okay. They finally got it done with a lot of squealing from her. The visit cost a small fortune, but they ran blood work on her to have a baseline if she ever gets sick. Bella doesn't understand why I can't pet her while driving. She loved having my undivided attention at the vet. The vet commented that they're seeing a lot of me (and I have an appointment for Oliver and Lily on Thursday).

I received my Land's End packages. That was fast. Oh cool! One of them is the coat.

I'm trying to decide whether to take a beginning crocheting class in January. It would be interesting, but I don't have a lot of time to crochet.

I'm getting a lot of Facebook ads for jewelry because I clicked on one. I found some beaded bracelets that aren't too expensive and look nice. I'm thinking this one and this one.

I’m thinking that it’s too cold (16F) and snowy out to get the garbage out. (It’s supposed to warm up tomorrow. It’s even so cold that the dogs didn’t want to stay out long.) I don’t have much. I’m trying to think of low-energy stuff to do because I’m tired. I want to go through the mail. Then what? I had planned to get my clothes out of the bathroom, but that will require standing. Maybe I could grab a bunch and fold it on the kitchen table.

Dog squabble. I’m not sure what that was about.

Fed us all. I’m beat. I think that I’ll go to bed soon.

Crap! My glasses (and they were my driving glasses) must have fallen out of my pocket and they're gone. I just ordered two more pairs. Did I say crap?

The vet is be able to clip Sonia's nails; it's us who she won't let near them. So we file them down, a couple of paws a day. Slower going, but at least she doesn't give Wolverine a run for his money.

I don't even try to clip my pets' nails. I get an expert to do them.
