Slept over 9 hours last night. Woke up to my left knee hurting. Don't know why. Having coffee before going to clinic. Hoping for an easy day. Would like to get out by 430.

Saw about 50 patients - mostly physicals because its spring break. Went out to dinner with DH and my parents. We shared fajitas, no beans, no rice, extra guac, I had 1 corn tortilla and he had 2, then we just ate the innards with a fork. Good visit. Home now. Glass of wine, feet up, watching food network.

I know I'm not the only patient and I know most just do what they are told, but I'm determined to be proactive and I refuse to act like a patient and put my life on hold to go to appointments scheduled for their convenience.

Being proactive certainly can't make it worse. As you well know, being your own advocate is sometimes the only way to make things happen. Hopefully things take a positive turn.

Here's to hoping!

Slept 8 hours. Lazy morning, laundry, a couple of errands, spa (facial, mani, pedi), then stats homework. Fish for dinner. Nothing exciting today.

[Pedidoc]

Almond crusted cod, broiled cabbage with lemon, roasted snap peas with sesame oil, and smashed roasted potatoes with butter and rosemary. Using stuff from veggie basket. Probably fresh pineapple for dessert.

Slept about 9 hours last night. Sat out in the sun a bit before dinner. Swung my hammer some before going to bed. Pepper steak in slow cooker today. Will have a lazy morning until DH goes to work, then homework, and some filing are on the schedule. Will sit out side again to get some natural D going and try to get the fish belly color off my legs!

Hi Kathi, I'm back and trying to get caught up

Also I wanted to critique their bedside manner, but didn't. Maybe I'm in instructor mode because its more comfortable for me?

Be in whatever mode helps you get through it.

Pathology report is back - BENIGN!!!

YES!!!

I'm trying to keep that in mind and tell myself they are proving its benign, not that it's cancer!

Absolutely! Positive thoughts only!

Juliet remains clingy - wonder what she senses?

Doggies have a very good sense of people emotions - she can probably feel your tension and worry. Take advantage of the extra love and attention she is wanting to give you

I know I'm not the only patient and I know most just do what they are told, but I'm determined to be proactive and I refuse to act like a patient and put my life on hold to go to appointments scheduled for their convenience.

Stay in your instructor mode and show them how it's done

Thanks Winencandy! You made me laugh........

Slept a restless 7 hours. More homework today. Doing a slow cooker pepper steak for dinner. Swung my hammer yesterday. Maybe a walk with DH and dogs today - depends on weather, as its supposed to rain. I may need a power nap. I need to finalize the Orlando trip details, but was unwilling without knowing results. I'm going to finalize and if I need surgery, they will have to work around my schedule. I need to remind my self that I refuse to by made a patient instead of a person. Ok will add to my list.
