sadAppointment with new primary care physician this morning turned into appointment with nurse practitioner who specializes in diabetes treatment. It went pretty well. She gave me a referral to a wound care clinic for my leg, a new prescription for Cozaar since she didn't like the looks of my blood pressure, and a slew of tests that I got done at the lab on the way in to the office. Next appointment is with the real doctor in two weeks, and we'll see what happens from there. For now, I'm continuing with the Actos, Glipizide and Glucophage and seeing what that does. NP is a woman on a mission: she went into this specialty after her daughter was diagnosed as a Type I diabetic at age six. As long as she doesn't drag my kids into this I think we're going to have a good professional relationship.
Paid back Leo and Luis for past lunches at the Worst Kebab Place Ever today. Leo ordered me an Afghan gyro, which had authentic gyrobeast slices and was not burned. This made up for the last two (burned) lamb kebabs, but I'm still not impressed by the place.
Almost making up for the religious tonteria this evening is the discovery of
beatonna and her website, wherein reside such cool things as this cartoon about Prince Edward Island: land of my paternal ancestors! And potatoes! Did I mention potatoes? I wish I'd gone somewhere where they served potatoes instead of pasta tonight. :(
