Monday.

 Up early with all the early stuff finished except wordle which was an evening thing completed.  I get stumped easily, this time a 5 letter word with 3 vowels.  Woo...Must start with an A...MAYBE.  I'll keep working.  

Early visit with Dr. Jalli.  It went well.  About three years ago she was a new doctor and one that was very different than my "old" doctors.  I'm beginning to feel comfortable with her being my doctor. Believe me, they all doctor differently. Maybe there is enough going on now to be interesting to her.  That doesn't sound so good but at any length, I think it's a go.  I think we're beginning to understand each other.   The fact that I had so many specialty doctors during those early years, allowed me to have great care.  I'm going to keep her.  There's a medicine change and that is something I approve of.  There's a recheck of blood pressure next week.  I'll still monitor at home. 

         The beginning of a bluebell flower.  That really jazzes me up.  There are quite a few at this stage.  

Then it was home for a bit and the big trip to the Simon Cancer Center to visit with Dr. Schnider.  I always plan at least 45 minutes for the drive but this time I made it in 30 minutes.  There was time to park and walk the distance to the office.  A mammogram is planned for the week after Easter.  Way to much going on in my other life to find time for another gram.  It will come soon enough.  Dr. Jalli filled the morning at I U North and Dr Schnider took the afternoon at the Simon CC.  

So what else did I do?  Heat some soup for supper and watch the NCAA.  


Spring green parsley.  This is the second year for this crop.  It will bolt and then I'll need to plant more.

Oh, yes there was one more thing.  I needed to do some lab work for Dr. Jalli and in the morning there was a 45-minute wait at the lab. No time.  I had to keep moving.  I went back in the afternoon...another 45-minute wait.  Not for me.  I'm planning on an early morning 7:50 lab Time on Wednesday. Early is my hope. I have a little stretch time on that morning with no other appointments.  I U North hospital seems to have quadrupled in business over the last year.  The parking lot is always full and waits everywhere.  Last week at Methodist Hospital I never made it out of the emergency area.  No other beds were available.  It takes me 10 minutes to get to the lab at IU North.  How lucky. 

Tomorrow the vascular surgeon.  I'm feeling lucky.  Wonder what that means.

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my fabric for more options.   Lots of meal worms are disappearing again.  Most of the time it's because the pair of Blue Birds are having

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the seizure.  That's a huge bummer.  The seizure medi

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer.   The morning work flew along.  I talked with Heidi about my ideas for Easter decorations.  The Easter banners are back at church and a few more decisions have been made.  Easte
