MENTAL BLOCK TO DISSOLVE

HOPE THAT MOTHER'S DAY WAS A BLESSING.  Onto a new day.

HUBBY BROUGHT UP LABS THAT THE DOCTOR SHOULD HAVE REQUESTED FOR CANCER FOLLOW-UP PHYSICAL in Kansas City this coming week.  I was kind of stupefied that none have been requested so when I see the doc this week, I'll need to ask why labs have not been done if they do not do this at this physical for long term care.

Back to the drawing board as to why my Endocrinologist APRN does not follow-up with labs for yearly physicals for the long term care.  Other than the TSH and maybe FT3 or 4.  This appointment comes in October, so I have some tough questions to gently ask.  For 16 years I have been a patient at this facility and I am just now SMART ENOUGH to know more test should be done for long term care.  The docs at this facility have never informed me about tests needed for long term care.  I've asked before about vitamin supplements and it fell on deaf ears.  I'll go loaded for bear this time from reputable sources like the American Thyroid Association?

I printed out the list of test that should be done and I will be taking this print out with me for the radical hysterectomy cancer follow-up.

I'd like to do something fun when we go to Kansas City for this follow-up.   

When I can put more time into it, I'll work on listing the tests that should be ran.  Today, I don't have the time to do this for the blog.  Working on other things.

Before you go for FOLLOW-UP PHYSICALS do you have a list of questions to ask?  I need to do this each time I go see the docs.  I try to have a list of questions printed out to take with me, but seldom ask all the questions listed.  I need to change this.  I am one of those peeps that kind of freezes up when in the exam room with the doctor.  Don't know why I have this mental block take place, but I do.

I pray that I can begin AGAIN to walk the track for exercise and relaxation.  This week, I will work some time in to walk and have mercy on my soul.  I haven't walked since February and how quickly the months got away.  This morning I was saying that Hubby and I ought to do morning stretches.  Forming this new habit can be done. A one and a two and a three and a four.

We planted some geraniums in the front yard urns.  Next, the Hostas that we bought will be planted in the ground along the house.  The flowerbeds will be plucked.  A Lawn boy was contacted about mowing our little yard.  Left a message and waiting to hear back from him.  We need assistance for getting the lawn mowed.  Help.

Bless you and may you have a sweet LIFE,
