I have to make a list of all the medications (only 1!), vitamins, minerals, herbs and supplements that I take. This is to bring into the colonoscopy appointment on Tuesday. Diane, from Dr. Rowberry's office, called to remind me of the appointment and ask if I had any questions. She said that if I'm taking any unusual supplements like Chinese herbals, etc., to bring in a list because sometimes medications, herbs, etc., can cause changes in the colon. Just to cover all bases, I'm listing everything and let them figure it out. I'm typing the list on the computer and then I can also print out a copy for my yearly physical. Pain in the butt but once it's typed up, I can easily make revisions and it's easier than handwriting it each time a doctor wants a list of what I take!
I returned the Aircast XP Pneumatic to Dr. Miller's office. I told them that in the short time I wore it in the house, it was starting to hurt my knees and I felt that the large or extra large one wouldn't be any improvement for my knees. I asked if they had the Aircast SP Walker which is the short pneumatic. They didn't.
Joseph is not so bad after all. He called Carrie Tingley to see if the had the short pneumatic and they didn't either so he took the XP off my health insurance and gave me an order for the short pneumatic boot from Hanger nearby. We went over to Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics and they couldn't take a walk-in until the afternoon. They called their Santa Fe location and made an 3pm appointment for me in Santa Fe. Then I got to thinking that I'll wait to get any boot until I see the physical therapist so I cancelled the appointment, calling them on spouse's cell phone.
Walked downtown this evening. Asphalt and pavement is not the most comfortable for my foot but it was a real thrill to be out walking under the stars and the half moon and listening to the BeeGees greatest hits on my Walkman. I talked spouse into walking a mile with me. It was too beautiful a night for him to stay indoors, laying on the couch, watching political pundits.
