I had about eleventy-million health appointments (slight exaggeration) this week and that made it a very weird week.

My dental hygienist said that I didn’t have a lot of tartar, but the tartar I had was VERY STRONG. Ha! Winning at dentist!
I mowed! It’s been a while - Dr. M has mostly been doing it this year, but his cold/cough keeps hanging on. I had a great time!

I went to pick up my water bottle to take a big ole slug of water and picked up my phone instead. I almost had it in my mouth before I realized (this is a reenactment of the phone’s eye view).

I got a new topper in honor of my oldest great-nephew. He’s a dinosaur fanatic. It’s supposed to be a Halloween topper, but I’ll wear it year round because aren’t these dinosaurs adorable?

A new orange cat is hanging around Mike’s dad’s house.
I wasn’t exactly sure what was going on with my pseudo-bun. But I love the picture so much I made it my Facebook profile picture. It’s giving annoyed librarian (with apologies to Steve Reed).

Eating fish for brain health.
I know that none of you gives a fig about the Enneagram, but this made me laugh. Ringing the doorbell & running away is very Enneagram 9.
My CT scan didn’t reveal anything that could be causing my mysteriously small kidney, so my NP is referring me to a nephrologist. What it did reveal was moderate sunken chest (what in the world? I’ve never noticed) and mild scoliosis (oookkkaaayyy) and it also said that I’d had a prior hysterectomy* (EXTRA WHAT IN THE WORLD I’VE NEVER HAD A HYSTERECTOMY). So that was fun. How was your week?
*my NP is going to check with the radiologist about this one because seriously WHAT IN THE WORLD.
I wonder if AI contributing to your doc's notes might have been the reason for that phantom hysterectomy. A friend came away from her recent appointment with a note that she might profit from testosterone injections. What the what? She's definitely not a he, and when she called her doc's office to inquire, their response was "What the what?" Many offices now have a consent to use AI buried in their small print, and I intend to search it out and refuse.
ReplyDeleteAs for that orange cat -- it reminds me again that I have a neighbor's orange cat that's coming to my place to hunt (and at least once) catch birds. We have had a couple of Discussions.
You know AI is a distinct possibility. It's interesting to me that at least twice now I've run into situations at work where AI is making things worse, not better (our dental provider's claims department went VERY DOWNHILL).
DeleteI laughed and laughed at your heart healthy fish. Your kidney and chest might be shrunken, but your brain and sense of humour are LARGE.
ReplyDeleteIt could only have been topped by having Ben & Jerry's Phish Food for dessert & DON'T THINK I DIDN'T CONSIDER IT!
DeleteSounds like your CT scan results got mixed up with someone else's. Hysterectomy? Unless maybe your girl part just dissolved. Dinosaurs for Halloween? Not seeing it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's rude that my girl parts dissolved AFTER menopause.
DeleteI blame autocorrect. The radiologist probably meant hip surgery.
ReplyDeleteThat is an excellent theory!
DeleteI'm staying away from your medical diagnosis. We had an orange cat on our daily calendar this morning. And my wife loves those fish too but I think it's ghastly to eat GOLDFISH!
ReplyDeleteBut they're such salty crunchy goodness!
