Well, finished pt w/ flying colors. By the way, what are "Flying Colors"? The brown of a grizzly in hindsight as we're having a cardiac sprinting to shelter? Anyway, he and I discussed how far I could get improving my balance if my poor balance is due to medications. I improved, yes. But, w/ my meds thrown in the mix, there're gonna be plenty of times I just can't help walking like I've had one too many. Better is better, though.
From there, we made a trip to our new endocrinologist. Blood work, anyone? The tests show that my thyroid levels are off kilter. One more hormone repair! So, I was prescribed synthroid, 1 x/ day, 1st thing in the a.m., 1/2 hr be4 eating anything. Seems to be doing its job.
Then, due to my concern about costs, we began talking about testosterone "implants", which we'll understand better after next Fri.'s appt. I do know each implant lasts 3 mo.'s and costs quite a bit less. as a matter of fact, the doc's info from the ins. co. is we won't be charged. Makes me happy. I constantly worry about how much I cost. W/ testosterone, interferon, bupropion, klonopin, fentanyl, synthroid, syringes, supplements, Dr.'s visits, tests, MRI's, CT scans & gas, not to mention the stress on my bride cuz she has to drive the great majority of the time, ECD is damaging to more than just the bank acct. W/ Humana's RightSource, fewer Dr.'s visits & scans & these new implants, though, we're whittling it down. We might be able to have a mug-o-brew at Frog Level Brewery, which we highly recommend if you're ever in Waynesville. These folks even let us bring supper in while we listen to the music & tip our glass.
Oh, yeah! Last trip to the endodontist went very well. The root canal is healing nicely, and he doesn't need to see me again for a yr. 'Tis a shame. they got some cute ass'ts. It doesn't bother my betrothed that they flirt a bit w/ me. SHE KNOWS WHO I"M GOIN" HOME W/? The best lookin' gal in the joint. ;-)
Ya'll take care & God bless all.
