Had my follow-up appointment today. Everything seems to be ok so far. Of course I have to wait for the labs coming in.

Follow-up yesterday was ok. That is, I have to wait for the labs though. This will take a few days.

Surgeon was pleased and told me to wean off the PPI. Ultrasound was fine. There was no nutritional counseling because vacation time but I could schedule an appointment should I want one.

I'm going to wait for the labs coming back and if there should be anything off I'm going to make an appointment. The question I had can be asked and answered via e-mail.

Stumbled across this picture and I think it hits the spot.

I hate that heat!

It's not so much that it's hot outside but the houses and flats are heating up as well and that's what I hate too boot.

I have to work on Sunday. 24 h shift. Good thing about this: the air conditioning.

Had an osteodensitometry today - bones are fine. 🍖

OMG... people are going crazy for easter shopping? I low-grade expected people already waiting in line before the store before opening time but this was insane. I briefly considered simply driving home. 🙄 

All I can say is: if I wouldn't be on-call today and shopping next week will be even more of a hassle when the boss is on vacation and we're going to have to work overtime for sure, I wouldn't have gone shopping today.

Yes, I'm vaccinated and all and people are wearing masks but anyway...

Crazy.

Finally going on vacation tonight!

Meh, I feel unusually tensed during this vacation so far. There is too damn much on my table right now with board certification, moving again and changing team again on top. I need to start studying and time is flying by.

Plastics... I'm postponing. Again. I still haven't sent the letter to insurance. Why not? I have no idea. Fear? Not the most important thing at the moment? Or some inner part of me still being not ready for some reason? I guess a combo of it all. Damn, this stuff is important to me! I want to get my things together!

🙄

First day without any rain today. Of course I went on a bike ride. It could be a tad warmer and more sunny but as long as it isn't raining, it's still ok.

I wonder if my husband will really come with me on this planned about 40 km bike ride. I invited him on komoot and I wonder if he's really going to rent an e-bike. Let's wait and see.  

We're home again! Luckily I have another week of vacation left.

I'm ordering some adorable yoga/bath towels right now and equally adorable shawl/mask combo and want to treat my niece and mother to one, too.

And OMG, they're at it for almost two hours now trying to decide which one or which bundle it should be... 🙈

lol

I hate the feeling of coming back from vacation and having the impression of never having been on holiday after all after just three days of work or so. 

Interestingly enough I started losing a bit weight again? Or maybe it'll takes more time than I thought to gain the weight back after this gastrointestinal infection attack two to three weeks ago.

On vacation for three whole weeks now. Finally. First "real" vacation without studying for an exam or moving towns like since forever.

Meh, almost 10 PM here. I wanted to go to bed an hour ago, lol.

Overall the day was exhausting but productive. Seems like I have found my new flat!

Work is still stressful and I'm on sick leave for this week because of acute laryngitis (corona tested negative twice). 😷

I'm surprised that I still get reactions for posts sometimes, even though some of them are quite old now.

Anyway, hoping people are ok!

Having a feeling of restlessness. It will take some more days though before I can take up exercising again (someone else scared of things like myocarditis, no?). Still having some cough and core throat.

Having a cold just plain sucks.

Hope you guys are still doing alright. I'm still drowning in work but managed to take a 4-day-weekend this week.

Stumbled across this and had to think of the "choosing the goal weight"-threads and that many people obviously don't seem to fully realize what it might cost them to get (and stay!) there.

It's just an infographic, there is a longer text available. 

On vacation for two weeks since yesterday. The weather? Ok, let's not talk about the weather... ☔️

Temperature still normal. No symptoms. I guess having this kind of "diary" will be the new normal for medical staff working with ER patients because the corona tests are not fast enough for a quick screening at bedside.

It kind of gives me the creeps when thinking about how many colleagues and other patients could've possibly been infected by one patient only with unknown corona infection. Yes, we all wore N95 or FFP2 masks and the patient wore a simple mask but anyway...

24 h shift on Sunday was just plain awful. I still don't feel recovered and going to take it slow today. I'm taking some overtime hours this week.

Playing with my newest gadget: an oura ring.

The MGB pouch was way more...forgiving?

Got my new gravel bike yesterday and I want to take it out for a ride. However, it's cold af here today  (0°C) and I've forgotten to take my primaloft shorts for additional isolation.

I already froze my pelvic region off during the short test rides yesterday and it was 5°C so I guess it'll have to wait a bit... not worth catching a UTI.

Anxiety is through the roof today. Things are overwhelming when looking at it in sum at the moment. The big picture is just, well... too big.

We walked the dog today and just like yesterday I wasn't really in the mood.  Today even less so than yesterday because I knew what was going to happen. I tend to mull over things in my head and start ruminating when walking in quiet. The conversation with my husband will inevitably turn to these things, raining my anxiety even more.

It's different when going for a run or a bike ride. Thoughts are not as present then. I don't know if it's the higher heart rate, the fact that I need to be more aware of the movement when running or needing to be more aware of the environment because of moving faster when riding a bike or a combination of it all.

Fact is, I hate walking for this reason, even when not alone. I start ruminating and start to feel like crap when there's something going on.
