It's been a hungry week. I can't remember one meal that left me full. Also I have dealt with hypoglycemia 2 or three times. I'm now out of candy. I finally got a breast surgeon and have set an appointment. Scary but glad. Hope I like and trust her.

Bittersweet week. Step daughter and her husband were in town for a week. Trying to escape from my assisted living apartment is a problem. I appreciate the fact that we are dealing with a pandemic but it doesn't make following the restrictions any easier. We ere able to go pick up fast food and sit in the park to eat it but it was pushing the limits when I wanted to be able to go out and say goodbye last evening. The weather wasn't being nice either. At 5:00 it was still 106°F. Fortunately it wasn't that hot on Thurs when I went to meet my oncologist. I am not too happy about the results of the appointment. The breast cancer was discovered the 28th of April but do to all the upheaval in my life, I only was able to meet the doctor now. I was dealing by PHONE with doctors in another county. My new oncologist was surprised that I didn't have a surgeon yet. He also gave me the impression that he wouldn't have started me on the chemo pills. He is putting in a referral for a surgeon and again I'm on hold until insurance comes through. He wasn't as encouraging as the other doctors but then they never did a physical exam. (Thank you covid-19). I think I'm going to be faced with either a lumpectomy followed by radiation or a mastectomy. Neither is a pleasant thought.
If anyone reads this, I can't figure out how to respond to anyone.

Good news day. I finally picked up my mail. There is an authorization for an oncologist and the endocrinologist that I requested. I guess tomorrow is a phone day for me. The activity director paid me a visit today and offered to give me a tour. Since I came under strick covid-19 rules, I haven't seen the place where I am living. I mentioned I could never walk that far. She said she'd push the wheelchair. I wrote my best friend last night and whined about all the restrictions here. Then they tell me today that we can go visit family. He is as close as any family I have. I told him year ago that he is what I would have wanted a brother to be like. And I want his sister as my sister. He has grown into my best friend and confident. Being an only child had its advantages but having a close friend wasn't one of them. Also, I was a Navy brat so was never in one spot long enough to develop relationships. Maintenence is coming tomorrow to hang my television. It will be out of my way but the cable company won't let their installers in yet. Then the movers are coming to replace the glass on the side of my china cabinet. Gonna try to sleep tonight.

Inch by inch, Oz by Oz. Slow but steady. I had a busy day yesterday. I had a brain MRI and chest CT at 1710. My daughter picked me up 1500 so that we could go to the bank. Unfortunately I think here was closed so he drove down to Temecula to find out the Bank closed one minute before we got there. So, with no other resource, we decided to go to Walmart. The instructions when when getting to the radiologist were wait in the parking lot and text you're there. We waited 15 minutes and then Katie went inside and asked if we were supposed to be there. They said to bring me in so and I went. Had the MRI which was always so much fun with the bang bang Wang Wang fitting that goes on. Then I was the score today and where I had the CT and my chest and then I was ready to leave and my daughter suggested that we go to Coco's for dinner. Her dad and I used to go there every Friday night and we would end up getting a prime rib and baked potato and fresh veggies and I always got a ice tea. So of course I couldn't resist. It was the first time I have been I a restaurant this year. Fear of Covid-19 and knowing my assisted living facility would probably object made it only a little less enjoyable but the food was excellent and the memory of a young life with my husband was rewarding. I expected to be rewarded with a weight gain, but I guess I need to wait until next week to see it. I've beeb exhausted but unable to sleep. I don't think they even knock to see if I want breakfast any more. The lunch servers do and am I glad. Today they had shrimp noodle salad, and watermelon, blueberries and strawberry. Well worth getting out of bed at noon. 😁 I was actually invited to eat lunch in the dining room one day this week. Now I have met three residents. Oh, mustn't forget Roxie. She bops in whenever she can. Makes losing my dogs a little easier. Sniffs everything and then someone finds her and takes her home. I misplaced my checkbook this week. Been lookin high and low. It is probably under the bed. Hoping someone will take pity on me and look under there.
