1630-1628

Days go by--and I grow weary with the drift. I'm losing it--or I think I am and that's making it happen. I spent the last week or so wobbling--ratcheting back and forth while going over and over the few things I needed to do. I kept forgetting--and dealing with the answers to the questions that will be raised on 3/23 in the GI procedure.

I spent a lot of the time (well maybe not a lot and that might be the problem) trying to get a prescription for the purge juice--the stuff that will clean me out so the doctor can get a good look. The product that the GI people wanted to use was not in the formulary--and that triggered a round (and a round) of doctor/pharmacist exchanges. The bottom line is that the formulary rules--and not being there prevents patient from getting it. The doctor's office had a welcome solution--they gave me a free sample which they had in their stock. Saved me a bunch of dollars--and let me get on with figuring out how to take the stuff. There's a couple of recommended administrative strategies--none that appeared to work for me. So I had to posit an alternative route--one that is not ideal but that will get the job done at some cost to my sleeping pattern.

Among other things beyond my GI list--me leaving my boxing gloves at the gym (or they were stolen), doing my taxes (and finally discovering that I had no data in a slot that I thought did have some), having a huge bowel movement (way before the time I'm supposed to have one when I get the GI examination), and lots of other moments (like when I discovered my wallet was not in my pocket and finding it aside my car seat where it could have easily fallen onto the ground as I opened the door).

I went to dance class today (where I got to continue my big bowel movement)--and enjoyed the movement and the music. Dancing balances the stress of my health issues--and hopefully will help disappear those distractors.

Will go to RSB in the morning--to see if I left my gloves there and that they are not stolen. Then will begin the purge around midday--and begin the initial steps of a 24-hour activity. A way to go--along with the show.
