Annual doctor's visit. I need to go back later this week for my lipid blood test. But I got a HD Flu shot. I was very lucky as they are in very short supply these days- the HD ones. For people like me with Asthma. It was a regular office visit. In person. I took an allergy pill before I left the house so I wasn't having to blow my nose or sneeze or cough. That would have made the very few patients I saw- very nervous.
It was a strange experience. I had to take off my mask and put on one of their masks.
I asked if I could stop taking my lipid pills so I could eat red grapefruit this Winter. No. I asked a second and third time. Now ......I can eat red grapefruit 3X's a week but still take my pills. I guess that means the pills will work the other days? Whatever- I am going to eat grapefruit this Winter. Yippee. And still take my pills. Along with my 4 servings a day each of leafy greens (kale, swiss chard, broccoli, spinach) and dairy (cheese, milk and yogurt). I also need 1000 to 2000 units of Vitamin D each day. And she would like me to walk for 30 minutes each day. I only like broccoli and kale.
I called and asked about the fasting lipid test. Twice. No one I spoke to spoke to my doctor. She would have signed me up. I could have gotten it done. I have to have another annual mammogram. I am not happy about that. My shot arm is sore. I am going to sit on the couch and watch Storage Wars and possible take a nap. Or just close my eyes. Till tomorrow. Love you- stay safe.
