Just another day in the life

03-25-21 what a day!

March 25, 2021


What a strangely wonderful day! On Tuesday, Patrick, the manager of the Granville Street Fluevog store put my shoes in the mail and I arrived to them already at the office this morning!! What a perfect day to get to wear my new Dr Henry shoes as I had a hospital and Dr appointment. Of course I had not planned clothes to wear with them and that didn’t matter, as it happened I was wearing my flamingo scarf and mask! He’s even gifted me with some fun swag!

I really do believe I was supposed to have these and am glad the other ones didn’t fit after all.

Off I went to the hospital to the respiratory department where the amazing Neal and Pam spent a good amount of time and tenderness testing my breathing, sharing their knowledge and experience and giving me options to what may be going on with my ability to breath. The test triggered coughing like a seal, tears and that drowning feeling and shakiness. They proved beyond doubt it has nothing to do with my lungs which overwhelmed me with gratitude as I was very afraid of COPD. They felt there may be a cause for the bile and inflammation if my CPAP machine is not adjusted just right for me. They thought I should continue taking my acid reducer twice a day and get referred to the sleep clinic here. Apparently an improperly functioning machine can cause a suction effect which draws bile up through the hiatus hernia. It can also cause me to swallow air and cause excessive bloating. I will definitely be talking to my Dr about it. I also got my report from the Ultrasound and there is not 1 but 2 cysts of some sort that are fairly substantial in size. I can’t wait to talk to Dr Sanregret about it all but she was called into Emergency to deliver babies today so my appointment was changed to tomorrow late afternoon. A few minutes later my dentist called to see if I wouldn’t mind changing my appointment from mid afternoon tomorrow to today so that all worked perfectly. I went for my cleaning and the hygienist was very grateful as I was his only appointment tomorrow so now he can go skiing, lol. It was another perfect moment when my dentist did a check of my mouth and the x-rays and there was nothing at all wrong for the first time in a long time. Glad I got all the crowns taken care of last year.

I had deposits to do at two different banks for two different societies and I was so glad when Maureen kindly offered to take care of both of them for me. I got back to the office and filed some more tax returns before deciding I needed to get busy on my own books and filings. I was shocked when it was 8 pm as it was so light out still. I didn’t get it all done but it a good start on it. My contractor who is supposed to come on Saturday so we can re and re the bathroom fixtures is now unable to and the following weekend is Easter so that is stalled once again but I am ok with it. I will get more done on my own. And maybe get outside as well. And I can always work on my books so I feel that pressure is gone.
