Two Dr appts in one day
Well yesterday I posted I had a follow-up with Dr Gibbs, but I also had to be seen by my orthopedic doc for my foot. So, one good appt, one bad.
Good: Dr Gibbs was thrilled, told me twice how happy he is with my weight loss. The labs are fine, with the exception of the Vitamin D...get out in the sun more and take the supplements for another three weeks. He realizes that getting out while on crutches is pretty difficult, but he said to do what I can. The iron levels are within normal ranges, so not to worry.
Oh yeah, he said if I didn't lose another pound he'd be fine with it!! BUT..I want to get to a normal BMI range, so I'm going for at least another 15-20 lbs.
Now the bad appointment: One of the incisions on my ankle is not only infected, it's pulling apart, so had to go in to have it checked. They put more steri-strips on it, told me to keep up on the antibiotics, and come back every 5 days for re-checks.
It's always something, huh??
Everybody have a great weekend!
kudos on the good appointment and bummer on the bad. well i hope everything goes ok on the foot....guess you will be ILEAN a little longer.
ellpitical...wow it isnt easy...I havent really started a "program" but have played on it and now I have charlie horses...icky.
well you have a good weekend and be good... oh yeah how was the symphony???
tantalizing tammy
Hey TT,
so sorry about the charlie horses, don't give up though!
The symphony was terrific, but getting around the Robinson Center on crutches was quite an experience. There were stairs at City Hall where the reception was to be held after, where we were to meet Linda Ronstadt, so we ended up not going to that. Bummer. Then, on the way home my friend called to tell us not to feel badly, "the star" didn't feel well and canceled the event. So.....no one got to meet her, so we didn't feel as bad.
Whatca doin' this weekend?

Hi Angie,
You'll be sitting here soon too, just have to stay patient. I think this is the hardest part of the process...waiting for a date, then waiting for the date to get here.
I hoping DH can take a chair outside for me this weekend so I can get some sun. Hasn't it been just beautiful?
Take care
Susan
