THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR

I did something yesterday for the third consecutive year, that I might not have done for three consecutive years since I was literally three years old, and who knows if I even did that when I was three? I could ask my Mom, but would she really remember? What I did yesterday for the third consecutive year was see my doctor for an annual wellness visit. Since I do feel healthy, this is a visit that I do not fear. The visit was inconsequential (that's good) and my doctor complimented me again on my success on my weight loss. I know that I have been struggling lately, but my weight on his doctors' scale, 234 lbs, was 4 pounds down from my last visit, so from his perspective, I am continuing to do great. I also know that his very expensive scale is 'more friendly' than my cheapo scale which always shows a weight about 3 pounds more - so perhaps my weight at home is currently 237 lbs. I should eat less. My appointment with the doctor was scheduled for 10AM. His office is a bit more than 3 miles away. I walked. I stretched the walk to 7 miles to get there. I walked back on a more direct route. And that was how I squeezed in a ten mile walk yesterday.

VISIT TO DOCTOR DELAYED

Yesterday after all my activity on Monday, I struggled a bit. There were a few times during the day when I felt some twangs of discomfort. Late in the day, I received a phone call confirming an appointment for today which I thought was not until Friday. Obviously, I made some error in recording my appointment. Now my appointment is scheduled for Tuesday, six days more from now. I am looking forward to that, so that I can start looking forward to a surgery date. I am really not enjoying being sidelined. And when I think about what an inguinal hernia actually is - I only get more nervous about walking around with this condition, even though I was told I could do so indefinitely.
