Well, I've been yelled at today.

For my last sleep doctor appointment, I didn't receive a reminder call and went anyway. Turns out I was a day ahead! I put the wrong day on my calendar.

I got the reminder call later that day.

NOT AGAIN

since the other days post #45.........

the saga continues, a day in the life of......

i showered, dressed etc

walked around the house

i know i'm forgetting something, i know i'm forgetting something, i ...........

eeek i finally remembered i had a PCP appt at 10:30 (it was 9:15)

running around like a chicken without a head (get the visual!!)

called dr office to say i might be a little late for my 10:30

she said your appt is at 10:00 not 10:30

i told her i might be a few minutes late

i know her well, and she nicely said

if i can't make it by 10:00, that's ok but we'll have to reschedule

really was understandable, but i needed to see him then!!

i was "kindof" speeding "a LITTLE - "kind of" like being a LITTLE pregnant )

still driving carefully - hmmm like that women above who was careful too!!

i got to doc 10:00 on the DOT

receptionist smiled

i sat down and waited, and waited, and waited and........35 minutes later!!!

too funny, i should have known you "usually" have to wait at docs

which really is understandable and ok

@proudgrammy I Can completely relate. Wednesday was my two week checkup, so a Surgeon appointment followed by NUT. I have to be at the Doctors office at 11:30. To do this requires three buses, I leave my house at 8:50, to catch a 9:15 bus (that is always late), ride it half way to the next bus station, and walk 3/4 of a mile to the bus station as the bus I was on misses the connecting bus more often than it makes it. It's all good, just more steps. Get to bus #2, depart at 10:00 am, Arrive in Manchester at 10:25 am, wait for the #13 bus at 11:00 that will take me close to my Doctors office. Get that bus, and make my appointment, no problem. I was told the Surgeon was 15 minutes and the NUT was 1/2 an hour, so I would be done at 12:15, which is great as I can catch the #13 back downtown and take the 1:30 bus back home to Nashua.

But nooooooo

The NUT was 1 hour. AND for the first time EVER they were LATE taking me in. I get out of the office at 1:10, and call a cab. I explain I have to be downtown in 20 minutes to catch the bus home. No problem they assure me. Cab arrives about 10 minutes later, we missed the bus by 30 seconds. He was behind it honking and flashing his lights, but it would not stop. SOooo, now I am stuck in Manchester for 3 more hours until the 4:30 bus (the last one of the day). I decide I'll go visit my sickly mother. She has a Doctors appointment and we spend like 1/2 an hour together and she and my sister leave. I wind up walking laps in Manchester for the next 2 1/2 hours.

At long last the 4:30 bus!!!! I get on, so tired..... We get on the highway. Accident. We are 1/2 an hour late getting back to Nashua, and miss the 4:51 and 5:00 buses, now we get to wait for the 6:00 bus.

It was 6:45 when I got home.

Oh and I woke up at 0430 for some odd reason.

So I can completely relate to the whole rushing to get somewhere, only to have everything fall apart. Thank god it was a nice day out, if it was Winter I would have died.

Although I do not generally do this in a public setting I'll share my life statement with you all, it was crafted over years of hard, uncompromising work, where literally every decision I made had the potential to cause death.

"I will relentlessly strive for perfection in all things I do, with the hopes of settling for mere excellence"

The funny part is that I never considered my weight into that, I just sort of let myself go over a number of years. I think I was intentionally trying to make myself less attractive while married (that is a nightmare I will skip).

Now my weight is a covered by my life statement, I WILL lose the weight I want to lose. No one but me can stop me, and I am not about to do that. The really hard part, and they don't go over this with you as they should imho prior to surgery, is learning how to eat post op all over again. Not just what, but when, how, how to cook it, how to prioritize Protein, what are no no's. I literally feel like I have absolutely no idea what I doing post op when it comes to eating and I am just winging it. This is why I have not fully embraces stage three of my diet, and still prefer to consume shakes, it's a known food, I know what to expect. I guess, once I get back to regular foods, things will be easier, that is, more choices, and simplified cooking. We shall see.

@@winklie Are you up to the stage where you could have chili? Chili is my "perfect" food. It has the Protein, the Fiber, and some veges (I use onions and peppers in my chili). I eat a lot of chili. Well.....not at one time, but I have it more often than anything else.
