Called to set up dental. To go to the one in SLC, it would be in
October. And a long drive. They now have local access. So,
sure! If I can get my teeth cleaned locally, I can probably make it much
more regularly. A four to six hour trip is... brutal. Especially
for me. Some days. Some days it is good. So, I'm waiting on
a list. I then call one of them, they put in for a clearance, then... we
arrange the time? Something.
Next, I called to speak with my doctor. His nurse, actually. About
the blood test. Since I won't be going up to the VA soon, in SLC, I'd
just have to get in for this. But, they now have a clinic here
locally. So, sure. I won't see their "medical", here.
No. All female, pretty much. All highly feminist. No.
But, for a blood test? Sure! Saves me a very long trip.
Oh, and I did just check. The email, with the dental listings, did
arrive. I called the clinic closest. Left a message. They
have to contact the VA dental in SLC, get a pre-authorization, then we set it
up? Whatever, something. The ball is rolling, on several
things. These things will make life a LOT easier. I don't mind
going to SLC for real medical, but the little things, even eye clinic stuff,
local is just fine.
It's gotten up to 87~88. Maybe higher by now, as it's just 15:38.
Hmm, why was the local dental office not taking calls? That's WAY early,
worse than banking hours! Ugh.
Anyway. I have ac on upstairs and down. It's keeping it
okay. Barely. I need to hit dishes, get a shower maybe, and start
a load of laundry? The steak is thawed, so I may get to that before too
long. Hungry. Tomorrow, another steak, and burgers... just the
patties. Those really aren't too bad. Especially with a variety of
steaks for every other to every fourth day. I may begin adding chops,
and chicken, to the menu again. Burned out on those while not being able
to afford beef there for a long time.
Out of test strips, so it'll be a while. I did get a notification that
my meds and paraphernalia is on the way. Paraphernalia? Test
strips, tester, poker replacements for the... poker. Other things?
Oh, he said if my insulin is high, he wants to start me on medicine. I
won't let him, right off the bat. We'll wait, for one round, to see if
it's going up or still coming down. Not a debate. I won't take
stuff that is dangerous, if I am not satisfied that it is needed. I've
been working well on carnivore, or... ketavore. But, it does take
time. If it is below ten, we will wait. Above ten... maybe.
A1C, A1c? Whatever. I'll bet it's closer to seven to eight, which
is down from highs in the 14s. So... yeah. I don't debate. I
listen, to my adviser... doctor... and choose from there. There is no
negotiation.
Well... on with the day. On to gaming, for a bit. Then, hopefully,
some work. But, very glad to have things going on those other
fronts. Now to get eye clinic stuff. Hopefully local, there,
too. I may stop waiting for them to call back. They seem... not to
be... on the ball. I'll call tomorrow. Good day.

Oh, fine... some tunes which keep popping. Still... playing I see.
Fie! Fine.
Play nicely, boys and girls. I... don't. *wink*
You are starting to make me feel... like I belong.
