The Medical Weight Management (Opti-Fast) group has scheduled me for a physical evaluation on Tuesday morning, which means that between now and Monday afternoon, I have to have fasting bloodwork and an EKG done to show that I'm healthy enough for the meal replacement weight loss program. Next week Wednesday (July 2) is my epidural injection. D will be driving me to that appointment and back home as I will be under very light sedation to relax me, and also have some possible numbness in my legs from the local anesthetic they inject prior to the steroid.
The bariatric surgery department called to set up my initial evaluation with their team, which is tomorrow (June 26 at 2pm). Sadly, they didn't have any openings for next week, so I have to take tomorrow afternoon off work.
Oh well, even with all the medical appointments, I still plan to have a fair bit of quality time next week to spend at the beach or at a shady park or redwood grove to read a good book.
