Spring seems to be the time for not only Spring cleaning but also for checking the bodies to see if everything is working correctly.
Both M and I have standing appointments for podiatry, every 3 months we go and get our feet and toes looking mahvelous. M goes to the wound nurse every so often, it's a learning experience.
Today we had an appointment for M in dermatology. Parking at the Medical offices is a big challenge. There are big parking lots all over and every single spot is occupied, very frustrating. I don't like to have appointments there because of that reason, but that's where most of M's appointments are. But at least I get my exercise for the day.
He got checked and had a couple of biopsies on his cheek where he had some problems before, he also made an appointment at the doctors request for having a procedure with on his arms and face with a blue light, is sort of a skin peel that gets rid of pre cancerous spots. The joys of having been a truck driver and farmer and having his face and arms exposed to the sun for many years.
While I was waiting for M, I walked to see if I could just walk in to have a mammogram since I was due for one, and that way I wouldn't have to take another day just for it. Sure enough, I could just walk in without an appointment, but the wait was 45 minutes and everybody knows I have to sit and wait, so I signed in and told the nurse I'd be back in half an hour. I walked around and enjoyed the nice weather, when I got back the nurse said I had been called so now I had to wait again. I hate that even though it was my fault. Anyway all in all I spent 1 hour there but finally I got it done (with a new machine that doesn't squeeze you flat as a pancake and it was not as intrusive).
Afterwards we went to lunch to Capriotti's, I really like their sandwiches http://capriottis.com/ . M and I were famished, we got the large italian, and next door at the 5 Guys, we got their Cajun fries. We went home to eat, and after we both took a nap :)
Tonight I took Lulu for a nice walk, and we had chicken tortilla soup that I had made yesterday, and it was very good.
Next month M has an appointment with his new doctor, his regular doctor retired and the new one wants to see his patients and get acquainted with them. Good idea. I also have an appointment with my ophtalmologist next month, and later my optometrist. I should go to the dentist too but I just hate going to the dentist to the point that I have to take an anxiety pill before my appointment lol, so I guess I'll wait for that one.
I just reread what I wrote and I think this may very well be one of the dullest posts I've ever written, but since it's already done I will leave it. Feel free to ignore it :)
