収束ゾーンでのライフ: Life in the Convergence Zone

Today was my every three month cancer doc appointment. I got there on time and Cabell's parking is absolute ass. I ended up 10 minutes late and that was with me parking in the garage (farthest place you can find from the clinic), there were people double parking, parking on the median strips

So now I have to wait because as it turns out everyone was behind because it's student day. So one of Marshall's students comes in and she's all nervous (as all medical students tend to be. I get it. I was them once upon a time). She does my whole history and then goes to report to the oncology resident. Then she comes in and does pretty much the same and I explain why I never had the CT scan ordered back in May. (they called my home number and not my cell. (I have now had them delete that) and when I called for a new appointment they never ever called me back) I tell her about the thyroid and the pains I get that feel a little like menstrual cramps.

She then goes gets the doc watching over her and for the first time since my surgery, I see my surgeon. The good news is cancer wise I'm fine and after I see them again in December (and if I still have no signs of cancer) they'll bump me to twice a year instead of four times. (yay) but he is a) pissed that Cabell's imaging failed so hard on the follow up. b) agrees with me that I DO need a CT scan if for no other reason than cancer can seed itself along surgical pathways and could have something inside pushing out the hernia.

I didn't tell him about the other surgeon because while I liked him he was dismissive about this issue (I do trust him to do the thyroid stuff) so yes I'll have the CT scan in Huntington and if it requires surgery then I can go there. (it'll be easier to get to than Columbus anyhow) Besides I am LONG overdue for a CT on my abdomen for my adrenal tumor (benign) and cystic kidney.


And then there's my sugar. By the time I hit dinner it was nearly 400. And then the entire time I was in Books a Million, the 60 mile drive home and then an hour being home it was too high to read on the Dexcom (meaning it's over 500 and I should have drove to the ER). I have officially taken enough insulin to kill a non-diabetic and it's still over 200. (don't worry it'll crash to 70 around 3 AM)

WHY so high? I don't know...until I was in the bathroom and out of the corner of my eye I notice the Jardiance bottle is NOT with my other pills. Somehow my idiot self when I was filling my pillbox forgot I was out of that and didn't open the new mailer for it (my insurance will only pay if I buy it from their pharmacy) OMFG. That's why my sugar is between 300-450 for DAYS. Now I need to tell the endocrinologist this on Monday. This is concerning. I shouldn't be doing that badly without that pill but I am.

I did see Michael's has made good on their promise of fabric post Joann's fall. It's not much. I asked for patches (I keep getting holes in brand new t-shirts so I want cute little patches to cover them) and all they have is huge ones for denim, like I'm a farmer who needs to fix a blown out knee. Eye roll. The Lemax Halloween stuff is 100% gone (the one in Dayton still had plenty) I didn't buy any in Dayton because even at 40% it was too expensive and frankly the one I wanted (the casino) looked like an 80s arcade in a mall.... LeMax's quality has fallen off a cliff. Two years ago it was ceramic and neat. Last year it was resin plastic. This year plastic and looks like I made it. I did find a few other things for Halloween.

Homegoods did not have a ton of Halloween stuff like the one in PA did (probably all bought out) but had Halloween candles the other one didn't. Did I buy wone with a mirror with a vague skull in it? Maybe. Do I now own a pink casket butter dish, no not me (shut it)

The comic book store didn't have much for me...i'm like did you forget half my pull list or did things end? Do I remember my titles? Fuck no. Got 2 new horror #1s and a book on appalachian magic and folklore which will help in my stories (and if it has herbal stuff in it might added to my research)

Two community recs today ladiesbingo I do like this one but I am personally passing on it because I have too many outstanding things as is and I want to save what little free time I have left for spook_me if it runs this year

And lyricaltitles which yes I know I mentioned on monday but I'm mentioning it again. It's doing a bingo challenge for those of you who wanted to play but wanted something lower pressure.
