Fitness Test
I just got my call from Kaiser for my Fitness Test!! WOOHOO!!!!
I'll be heading in next Monday (May 2nd) at 11:30. And for anyone who was wondering the same as me about co-pay, I asked the nurse and she said there is NO co-pay for the fitness assessment.
She also commented that on the past Monday, that there were some people who were really able to walk. I told her that must have been the ladies from our group, and thanks to Barbara for making us walk the laps every week.
Also, Dr. Ray had mentioned to me that lab work may not be needed if they were done within a certain timeframe. Silly me, didn't think of asking what the timeframe was, but I'll check with the nurse on Monday if I need to do any.

I got my call today too! I'm going Tuesday at 1:00.
Just a thought, if anyone is just bored out of their minds and wants to meet me at Positive Choice and get a little walking time in.....feel free to join me. I'd love to walk and talk.
I know a lady from Kaiser is going to walk with me, but "the more the merrier!"

I saw Kris when I had my visit with Dr. Ray. She did say that she'll get back online again as she misses interacting with everyone. Hopefully we'll see her back here soon.

I completed my walk yesterday with no problems at all. I did feel bad for the nurse because it was quite warm around the building yesterday and I know I wasn't the only fitness test they had that day.
I asked about the lab tests that we need to do and she said that once the fitness test is complete, our files go to Terri, and she is the one who determines if any futher labs are needed and will call us to advise us to get them done. I was not able to get a timeframe on it, but I would imagine that it would be fairly quickly. Sorry I couldn't find out any more ladies.
