oldbroad, be assured I hate having to go to doctors, but I find it extremely difficult to enjoy life when I'm hurting. As it happens, my life has been a series of them going beyond the regular checkups. I was born with a double hare-lip and cleft palate, which took 10 surgeries before my face looked 'normal'. One of them caused my sleep apnea. As my body aged, my feet started talking to me causing another bunch of surgeries. Without the health care I've received, I'd be in a wheelchair, unable to easily breath and feed myself, maybe even a shorter lifespan. I don't mean to be dramatic, but the surgeries, painful and aggravating as they've been, changed my life for the better. Now I need to find out what to do to get my balance back, cause that's what's causing the pain and stiffness from tension. I need to know for sure what's going on and figure out my limits.
But, I agree with you about the frustration of calling doc offices. New technologies, as well as new generation of office personnel bring on other challenges. Everything is computerized now. I hate having to have a password for every 'patient portal' set up by doc offices to update and provide info. In some ways I like it, others I don't. Every time I go into the meds section of my profile, always one or two still listed that I said to remove. I recently cancelled a dental appoiintment for which I had been asked to fill in my med history via a texted questionaire. Didn't get to it. After cancelling, called the doc's office to ask them to resend it and was told can't do it until I've an appt. Huh? Nope, can't do it ahead of time. Receptionist agreed would be smart and easy to do it that way, but system not set up that way. Go figure!!
Life's a puzzle; one piece at a time.

We had a nice morning pottering around the house.
Spring weather is definitely here, and the bird life in our garden is wonderful. The goldfinches arrived a couple of days ago and the house finches are in blazing colour at the moment.
The humpbacks should be here fairly soon, too. Hopefully the wind and tide will allow for some boating opportunities. My guy may not have too many of those left -- he's definitely losing ground, though very slowly. Getting out on the water perks him up, especially if there's something to photograph.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

A good day to you all. We are at 60F today. Planting the flowers in the flowers beds is near. I will plant close to 25 geraniums (my favourite) and 10 coleus and possibly buy a few perennials. That will keep me busy for a couple of days starting around 15 or 20 th may. A quiet day today and tomorrow as usual. Just finish my walk. Take care.

Not much happening today. Getting used to ortho boot. Removed a piece that was digging into my leg and feels better. It's just stiff and heavy to lug around. Weather staying in 50s and 60s most days; 70s should start soon. Before ya know it, we'll be complaining about the heat and humidity. Staying inside to cool off in stead of warm up Funny dog story. Yesterday morning, when doggie day care came to pick up my dog, two people came, one of the usual guys (Jake) had brought a new staff member to meet Huey and explain how to work with him. Huey was snoozing in his bed and the guy called him out. Slowly, Huey started ambling over. The guy hunched down with Hueys leash and collar, ready to hook him up, but Huey, having noticed the other person walked right passed him to greet the woman. Maybe you had be there, but I laughed my head off. Now Jake a sweet kindda quite guy. Last week, he had to actually walk to Huey's bed to coax him out and get him moving, another laughable situation. Counter that with another staff, Tara, who is fun to chat with, comes into my home with a loud Hello Huey lets go, and stoops down to pat him before hooking the leash. He doesn't need any coaxing when she comes. Lately I've come to take more notice that Huey seems more apt to jump up and run with the ladies, and take his time with the men. I've have to pay more attention and report back If my dog had his way, I'd be up feeding him by 4 am, and that ain't gonna happen Some days, if I don't sleep well, I'm up around 5am. Other days, he's whining by 5:30am. If I happen to oversleep and not get up until 6, he's frantic and overly thrilled that I finally woke up. Anyway, by the time the day care folks arrive about 7am, I'm just about alert and thinking of breakfast. But no matter how I feel, watching him run or not run to day care staff, he makes me laugh. During the really cold days, sometimes the staff will pick him up so he doesn't have to walk on the ice or snow. What a life.

Oh, my, family! The 80's! Sounds like heaven to me! We're supposed to get a couple of days like that this week - heck I'll just take the 70's! I will DEFINITELY be outside working! Sounds like you will have some nice days to spend some time outside too, family!

Our nice weather has turned into rain, rain and rain. That's given me a chance to finish Cyberpunk, which should be soon.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.
