July Storm Black Out & Endo Visit
Monday July 16th I had a check up with my Internist primary care physician, Dr Nemeth. She okayed me to go back on Metformin, discussed staying on the current dose of pancreas Enzyme supplements, 10 MT. she shot down my discussion of Lap-Band and told me to continue trying to lose weight with enzymes, dieting and exercise for indefinite number of months, then we would discuss it.
On Thursday afternoon I went into Brighton to run some errands, a heavy storm hit while I was in my bank I waited maybe 10 minutes as the banks power flickered on and off, the storm let up, so I left for home. I spent an hour driving around, main roads, back roads; every road home was blocked by down trees, limbs, power lines. I ended up driving back into town and going into Meijer which was running on back up generator power. I called home on a pay phone. Mom answered and said we lost power at home and to just chill at meijer till the roads clear, then the phone hung up on me even though I put in enough coins for 30 minutes. So I spent a couple hours at Meijer. I had some dinner, walked around, bought a case of bottle water and headed back home. I was able to make it through this time though traffic was way backed up and the main road was still half blocked. Cars had to take turns going thru one at a time.
The morning of Friday 20th I got up early. Mom had cooked up a big breakfast; bacon, eggs and pancakes because she was trying to use up food in the fridge before it spoiled. After breakfast I left for Robs (and stayed with him until Wednesday morning.)
Saturday Mom caleld me and tole me she had left to grandmas, that my sis, her hubby and daughter went to the in-laws and dad stayed home to watch over the house and cats.
Our power finally returned on Sunday morning.
While with Rob, did some thrift store shopping, went to the Mall with his neices checked out the Harry Potter frenzy at the Border “party” for last book coming out and Saw the Transformers movie.
Friday the 27th I finally got to see an endocrinologist. On 18th the U of M hospital left a message and told me they were canceling my appointment which I had made 3-4 months ago. But Wednesday they called again and said that my appointment was reinstated. So…
Tae-Hwa Chun is my Endo, seems pretty nice. Was a basic meet & greet, review medical history appointment. He also ordered a 24 hour urine collection test and bunch of blood labs. I did the urine collection Sunday-Monday and am going to the lab Monday to drop off the urine and get the blood draws. The lab will do all their tests on it and in 2 months I’ll see Dr. Chun to discuss the results.
