So, when I got diagnosed with osteoporosis, (it was a Friday). The following Monday, I did two things. I can’t remember which one I did first but I think I called endocrinology first because I knew that it would be a while for me to get an appointment. I called on February 5 and my appointment is Not until May 16.
And then called my Naturopath’s office and was able to get an appointment to be seen on February 21 where Dr. Clark gave me wafers to take. I take four a day for now and I will go back on March 20 to see if anything further needs to happen. I originally said that they tasted like, “Sawdusty bottlecaps” but I have recently changed my mind and think they taste like teething biscuits that my nephew used to have when I was 13.
Today, we had to vote. I have been voting absentee for the past couple years but today, I had to go into my precinct to vote. That would take place before we got our teeth cleaned.
Before we left to go to my precinct to vote, we decided that we were going to get pizza today. Pizza and lasagna are the only things that I can still eat. Both options are quite, “carb-y” but I think in this weather, that seems to work out better for me. I am at a point where I get weighed every six months, and I need to keep weight on me now so the prospect of eating these things is not problematic for me at this point:
I had to wake up early today because it was a “2-fer” with voting and the teeth-cleaning. I am currently sitting in my house, and I had just finished my two pieces of pizza and then beginning to feel “The Crash” begin. We both voted and we both got our teeth cleaned. So February was success in terms of what I needed to get done next month is haircut and primary care physician appointment. Both of those days are a single day rental.
