Hello and welcome to everyone who has added me. Most of my posts are public, many contain medical TMI [fair warning]

PT and surprise visit from Nurse Dina
Mar. 11th, 2022 08:57 pm Terri the physical therapist arrived at about 9:30, was pleased with me standing on my own, and carrying the delivery groceries into the kitchen (I had been using the walker as a cart). It's getting to be time to return to doing my own shopping. Getting frustrated with the substitutions and claims of items out of stock which are not.
She gave me some useful exercises to do to strengthen my calves and give me more confidence in standing up and not falling over.
She said Dina, my nurse, was supposed to call and arrange a visit. This was Terri's last.
Not much on Tivo, Dr. Pol is getting repetitive - there are only so many times one can watch a calf being pulled out of a cow by someone with his/her arms in there shoulder deep. TMZ is mildly amusing and this edition of Hot Bench featured a lying, cheating landlady being sued by lying, cheating tenants. They got half their deposit back.
Food was odd. Strawberries. walnuts and cashews drizzled with honey. Berries. Lots of diet cranberry juice, and some coconut water out on the porch after it warmed up. Dinner-ish was shrimp and cocktail sauce but I over-cooked the frozen shrimp. The reheat on the microwave is way off. Reheated avocado chunks from the freezer for breakfast. Wanted to slice up a whole avocado for dinner but the ones from Smith's are not ripe. The shopper warned me about that.
Called my cardiologist's office and changed my appointment (which was the same time as my PCP appt.) to the following week. In June. Tried to schedule a fasting blood draw for cardiologist A1C but Quest had nothing early enough. Will try again Monday.
Nibbled on some Ghirardelli dark chocolate with raspberry.
Tired of the Ukraine coverage which is now replaying week-old images. Watched Biden's speech about new sanctions, but that's trickle down economics and IMHO not appropriate for current circumstances.
Channel 58 is Animal Planet, but today it was marathon-ing Tree House Masters. That show ought to be on Discovery, not animal planet. Or Nat Geo.
3 pm Dina called, she was in my neighborhood and was on her way. Would have been nice to have made an appointment. But it was her last visit, so okay. She took my vitals, and also checked my tubes (she said I have secured them correctly). We did most of the visit outside on the porch, nice weather and warm.
March madness is pre-empting PTI on ESPN so I changed the schedule to ESPN2 in the evening
Tomorrow:
Call the plumber, see if they can schedule the disposal swap for this weekend. Or Monday.
