I love the cooler weather and the change it brings in the air.
I love the rich colors in the trees and beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
I love the family gatherings, parties and just general togetherness.
I love the food - lots of it.
But the end of the year also brings about doctor's appointments galore!
Sometime I feel like that is all my life is.
Waiting for appointments, waiting in waiting rooms and waiting for doctors.
Appointments for post-op care from the last surgery.
Appointments for pre-op screenings for the next surgery.
Appointment for an ultrasound to monitor the nodule on my thyroid.
Appointments for issues with my feet.
Appointments for occupational therapy for my arm.
Appointments for problems with my neck.
Appointment for a DEXA scan to check my bone density.
Appointments with my oncologist.
Appointment for labs to do blood draws.
Gotta get them all in before the year is over
and the high deductible resets.
I keep pretty busy with just all these appointments,
then throw in all the kids activities and school.
Plus Christmas is coming.
I am exhausted when I fall into bed at night.
But it is a good tired and I am so grateful I
am still able to do all these things.
I am hopeful for the future where I will only have
1 or 2 appointments for the whole year, and no more surgeries!
I know it is coming, I can see the light at the end
of the tunnel and it will be amazing.
