busy day ahead

Not much has happened for the past few days. I did manage to get hubby to the hospital for his procedure on Tuesday morning. It went fine, we were home by 10:30. The longest part of the wait seemed to be waiting for the doc to come in the room to tell us what he found. Hubby was so freaking impatient and it took everything I had to convince him to just hold up and wait for the doc and the nurse with the discharge papers. The doc finally came in and told us that hubby has a hiatus hernia. Yes, hiatus. I've heard of a hiatal hernia, I have one myself. Even in all my years of coding, that is the first reference I've ever heard of a hiatus hernia. I guess none of the patients that I coded for had that type of hernia. Or at least I don't remember. More than likely, we did, but as I've mentioned before, my memory isn't what it used to be.

I had all sorts of plans for Wednesday but they didn't pan out. I was overcome with a terrible upset stomach and had to cancel my plans. I was going to pick up some stuff at the farm supply store, pick up papers from the potential dr office and go hang out with my daughter for awhile. I even made dinner early, set in the fridge, left a note for hubby and left. I managed to pick up the papers from the dr office, went to the store but had to leave before buying anything and then had to call daughter and tell her I couldn't make it. I came home and was in pain and misery the rest of the evening.

Today I went to my mom's and hung out with them for awhile. I had plans to do other stuff too, but when all was said and done, I didn't feel up to any of it. So I went by mickey d's and got hubby some dinner and came home. No, I didn't cook, I needed a break.

Tomorrow is a busy day for me. I have my hair appointment at 11:00 in the morning and a dr appt at 2. I'm not sure if I'll make it in time for the doc appt, it takes an hour to get from my hair appt to the doc appt. That means she will have to color AND cut my hair in two hours. I don't see it happening. Also, it just dawned on me that my books were due today, damn it. I've tried to remember all day to get online and renew them and damned if I didn't forget anyway. Oh well, I'll just pay the fines and drop them off after my dr appt tomorrow. I may end up having to call the dr office and reschedule my appt for a later time or another day. It's not like it's urgent. I need to see if she can set me up with physical therapy again or see if I need an updated MRI. The tingling and numbness in my hands and arms are getting worse, kinda scary. I really hope and pray she doesn't want to send me back to the neurosurgeon, he only wants to do surgery. I'm trying to avoid that. Also, I want the opportunity to question her about the papers my attorney says she is refusing to fill out.

Well, guess I'll call it a day. It is almost 1:20 a.m. and I've got things I need to do in the morning before all the running I've got to do. And of course, I'm not a bit sleepy. Maybe I'll try to find something really boring on t.v. until later.......
