A Long-Distance Relationship

Today is a recovery day for me after my sleep change from my nutritionist appointment and wheelchair tech visit and then the following day Leia went to the vet for my Mom to get trained on her shots that she’s getting now. My Mom will give it to her later today.

So, yesterday, I was talking with Sean and I had told him that Sarah, my nutritionist, broke up with me. Well, not really. And then I explained the terms of our new relationship to Sean.

Back in October 2021, Meira, my Speech Pathologist asked if I was losing weight without trying. I was glib and I told her that there’s always weight to lose! Because I have always been trying to do so for my entire life!!!

I had been seeing Meira virtually for about a year and she suggested that I see a nutritionist. And I started seeing Sarah at the end of last year. I have met with her three times and we have discussed my food intake.

She told me on Wednesday that because my weight is stable, she feels that I have a good grasp on what I eat. (which isn’t much but I am NOT faint) that we don’t need to schedule any follow up appointments. She told me to get bloodwork and a weight every six months and when I start losing weight again, she will meet with me again.

I told Sean that she can see my MyChart account for all the bloodwork and my weight. She told me to message her if my weight changes. When I told that to Sean, he he said, “Oh, she’s a stalker?!” I answered with a hesitant, “We-ell” and we both started laughing!
