Medical & Lifestyle Changes

I'm having a number of medical issues. Here's some current things I'm working on or that are coming up:
  1. Gastroenternologist appointment went well. He had me start taking over the counter medication for IBS symptoms, and will be running a battery of tests to rule out things that are not IBS.
  2. Husband's dental checkup went well. He just needs cleaning and a few minor fillings. Lucky him!
  3. Thursday I have the following: 1:00pm get my hearing checked, 1:50pm take Dad to have his feet done/checked, 3:00pm have an ultrasound of my liver done, go to the lab to get more blood drawn afterward. The last two are added since my doctor emailed me regarding the results from the latest tests. Some abnormalities in liver function and fasting blood sugar. I was on a since-midnight fast then, and will be on a 12 hour fast this time, so I expect at least the blood sugar test to come out okay this time.
  4. I've started keeping a food journal, and signed up for several classes offered by the hospital.
  5. Coincidentally, my sister called today and said she wants to to start doing water aerobics at the aquatic center. Apparently we're starting tomorrow! Monday and Wednesday at 7:15pm.
More updates to come. By the way, I'm about 24 hours away from having all my LiveJournal blog posts imported to this blog. :)
