A quick one!

Today’s appointment with my surgeon for follow-up check-up went great. I like it that way. I had a few questions regarding the implanted port, she answered them and all is well. I don’t need to see her again for another three months.

Next appointment is Tuesday, July 5th, with my regular doctor. Have various questions and concerns. My hot flashes, that started three years ago, are driving me nuts. I thought they were bad before. HA! They have turned into full body hot flashes now. And with the weather being so hot, they are interfering a lot with anything I try to do to cool down a bit.

For “fun”, I added up doctor appointments, tests, and surgery mileage the other day. Since this all began (initial appointment being the mammogram), over the last two months we have driven 876 miles just to accomplish all that has been needed. That doesn’t include the trips for prescriptions and misc. items, so it is actually slightly more than that. Most trips were 42 miles round trip for either a doctor appointment or a test or a surgery. No wonder it seems like we have not been home a lot! Wow, what fun we have been having! What a great vacation that could have been!
