Doctor's Appointment on Friday

6/28 Book Decluttering

Friday's book decluttering was my copy of The Diary of a Young Girl.  Before I decluttered it, I checked with my daughter to see if she wanted the book kept, but, she said that, although she enjoyed reading it, she doesn't think she will re-read it. 

I watered the peach tree and the orange tree, in the morning.  Then, I watched the first half of the soccer match, between the USA and France, while I sewed a few more patchwork squares.  Then, it was time to leave to go to the doctor's appointment.

Before I left the house, however, I had a call from the nurse at the clinic.  She was calling to ask if I had received any calls from the pharmacy about the medication I was supposed to receive (the Prolia injection for osteoporosis).  The pharmacy was supposed to send it to the clinic in order for me to receive it and the clinic apparently hadn't received the medication.  She asked me to call the pharmacy and call her back.  

I called the pharmacy and received the confirmation that they will be sending the medication to the clinic.  The call took a few minutes as they needed to know all kinds of information from me.  By the time I got off the phone and tried to call the nurse back, the clinic was closed for lunch!    By then, it was past 1:15 p.m. and I had to leave to get to my appointment which was at 2:15 p.m.!

When I got to the clinic, the nurse said that they had spoken to the pharmacy and got it all cleared!  They would give me the injection using what they had in stock and they will replenish the stock when the pharmacy sends the medication to them.  If not, I suppose I would have had to go back for my injection after they had received the medication.

Today's doctor's visit went very well, too.  It was with the oncologist and he went over the lab test results with me and said it all looked well.  The cancer markers were well under the limit and all the other things they checked were within the recommended range.   I reminded him that I was due for a mammogram and he put in the request for one.  I will be notified when it is scheduled.  I also received my Prolia injection.  That thing hurt!  I have a follow up visit in three months' time.

By the time I left the clinic, it was 3:30 p.m. and I was getting hungry (I hadn't eaten before I went).  I stopped and bought a pizza on the way home and had some of that for my lunch.  Then, I watched news and rested a bit.

Friend M came to do the garden and we applied more Epsom salts to the plants.

Later, friend R called and we chatted a bit.  We had made some plans to get together tomorrow, but, she said she couldn't make it.  We made plans to get together for her birthday that is coming up in a couple of weeks, instead.

I spent the evening playing with fabric, again.  Another 12 squares have been added to the pile I've sewn so far.  

On Friday, I was grateful for:
- Another good doctor's visit
- The medication was sorted out with the pharmacy and I received my injection
- I had a safe drive to the clinic and back
- I don't have to go back another day to get the injection
- Good lab test results

How was your Friday?  What are your plans for the weekend?
