Rain & Waiting...

It started raining again yesterday & it's supposed to continue throughout the day.  I am so seriously over grey skies.   Somehow during all this rain the tree pollen levels have soared.  So, add to allergy yuck until the pile of other seasonal crap going on at the moment.

I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor on what tests he may order for me.  He was out of the office when I stopped by & talked to his nurse yesterday.   It may later in the day or even tomorrow before I hear anything.  

I've seen daffodils when I've been out.   The tulips & lilies are pushing their greenery up.   Several of the flowering bushes are budding out & turning green.   I'm seeing little blue flowers, clover & wild onions.  Spring is on it's way.    Here comes more rains, thunderstorms, pollen & the random tornado.  Yippie!

Aren't I just a happy camper this morning?

Follow Up...

My EKG readings were normal.  My doctor talked to me about my concerns, but in the end nothing much was decided.  He suggested a low strength anti-depressant.  I wasn't happy about that.  It means yet another medication.  

Then again, they haven't found any other reason for my feeling like this, so I told him I'd call my specialist & see about it.   I didn't want a new med colliding with my HIV regimen.    They were OK with the idea, but suggested I also have some other blood work done testing my metabolism & hormones, especially looking at testosterone.  I told my primary care provider's nurse this morning.  Will see what happens.

Until tomorrow.

Appointments On The Last Monday...

OK, it's earlier than I'd like to be up on this last February Monday.   But, I have to be at an doctor's appointment shortly.  As I said yesterday, I have no idea what to expect from this meeting.   Just in case I'm not up to posting later, I'll do it now. 

At least it's a sunny day.  Too bad the rains might return midweek.   I wish I could say I was doing better, but my nerves & sleep are still way off & probably will be for quite some time.  

I have this today, my roomie has something tomorrow & Friday.  That leaves shopping & early bills on Thursday.  That's a lot for us in a week & last week was busy as well.  I'm definitely not used to this much getting about.   It's tiring.

More tomorrow.

Fairly Brief...

My schedule is off, shopping has to get handled this morning, because I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning.   I have no idea how that will go.   A lot of things have run through my mind.  Anything from it's nothing, to something is seriously wrong with me, to my doctor thinks I'm just complaining & gets upset with me.   I hate dealing with my head sometimes.  

At least it's not raining.  It's actually bright.  It's chilly, but supposed to warm up some.  Depending on where you look our rain totals were somewhere between 3.5 - 6.25.  I'm leaning toward the latter.  It could  be a downpour & Weather.com would report were having a dry day.   Weather Underground tends to initially report high & then average out the next day.  I trust their reports more.

It's day 10 out from sending the CDR back in.  I'm very anxious.  I hate waiting for the shoe to drop.  This review is going to drive me nuts

Early & Quick...

Not much of a post this morning.  But after several days of rain totalling a little over 5", issues are starting to show.  The power & the net have been flickering.  I'll post this just in case we lose 1 or both.  The rain is supposed to end this afternoon & let this mess move out of the area.  I hope so, this is quite enough rain for the end of February.   

Until tomorrow.

Final February Friday...

It's rained several inches over the last few days & there's no sign of stopping any time soon.  It's wet, miserable & cold.  It's also grey.  My roomie pointed out as we drove to get groceries everything was the same dismal shade of grey, from the road to the sky. 

I have an appointment with my primary care on Monday to go over the EKG.  I have no idea what to expect.  HIV is tied to pulmonary & cardiac issues.   The ongoing presence of the virus can cause inflammation.   I don't know what, if anything I'm heading into on Monday.

That's all for now.

PS - It was a year ago today I announced the passing our cat, Rhiannon.   I really miss her.

Another Appointment...

After my telemedicine appointment, my specialist said I should ask my physician about getting an EKG & possibly a stress test.  I've had shortness of breath, ragged breathing, coughing &  I'm easily winded.   I've also had some chest tightness.  Nothing has been painful, but I made the appointment.   

Of course, it was early this morning.  I've had way more medical attention than I'm used to.    Not sure what to expect here.  

More tomorrow.
