I had intended to get up and go get my labs drawn this morning. However, could not get to sleep last night until very late, even for me. So, have to try in the morning.
Did not know the test I have to go for would require so many stages. Got a call today. Thought it was to schedule. No, pre-screening and some general instructions. Next, I get a packet in the mail with more instructions and prescription for medications to prepare. In the next few days, I will get the scheduling call. Then, I was advised to have someone else drive me. The test will require the whole day and involve highly sedating medications. Not a lot of choice. Just have to ride the bike down there, do the test. Maybe find a place to hang out for a while if I don't feel completely up to riding afterward.
Thing I have to remember is to not take aspirin for several days before the test. Increases risk of bleeding.
Got my Chantix prescription this evening. Big surprise, the insurance company covered it 100 percent! I didn't have to pay a penny! That was a shock because this is not a cheap medication. Needless to say, I am really happy with my insurance so far.
Work hasn't completely picked up again yet. However, I had various things going on today, including the screening call. Made my 70 cases but just barely.
Oh, heck. I meant to do more training online tonight and forgot. Oh, well. I have until 2/28 to finish it.
Health is still improving. Feeling much better and actually able to relax much better than I have for quite some time. No constant gastric issues. No pain. Mind is more clear than last couple of weeks. I'm seriously not used to having anything which affects my mental clarity. It will be months before I am truly back to normal and I have to maintain some habits for the rest of my life to keep problems from coming back. Only a few alterations from things I had been doing but very important alterations.
Guess I can finally admit my health issues had me worried. Now they are fading enough that the fear is going away. With the things I've learned, I had good reason to have fear. It may not be as dramatic as cancer but my condition/s are no less damaging, painful and deadly. If not controlled, Celiac and subsequent Candidiasis are directly damaging to the nervous system, the digestive system, the vascular system (including the heart) and the muscular system. Eventually, it is definitely terminal.
