Well my GI dr was very nice, she said some of my problems could be med related since I’m on a lot and she’s not concerned enough to do anything other than the endoscopy at this particular time. She calmed my fears about the endoscopy as well. I feel confident that whatever it shows she will be able to handle and diagnose correctly and I have faith in whatever treatment plan she puts together.

Now my blood pressure was high when I went so I made an appt for a physical with my primary. Might as well right? I think my blood pressure was high because I had just gotten off the elevator and I am terrified of elevators (extremely claustrophobic). But whatever. I have ortho for my hand on Thursday and I am also going to ask about seeing a knee specialist in the same group. So that’s it, no one’s going to jerk me around anymore, I won’t let them, I’m over it. I will find a dr that will listen to me for each complaint. I need to get my physical health in order as well. And I will!

In other news CR had his moving up ceremony this morning I am SO proud of him, he earned a safety patrol excellence award, an academic excellence in social studies, AND….the presidential academic excellence award!!! Oh my god I almost lost it. This means he had meets or exceeds expectations for 90% of his fourth and fifth grade report cards (no letter grades in elementary school anymore). I am just so happy for him and I told him he deserves to be proud of himself because HE put all this work in himself, during a pandemic even!

Its things like this that make me realize maybe I am actually doing a good job as a parent. Also, last night CR was able to share something very personal with me and ask for my help, I must be doing something right if he feels comfortable enough to come to me with those types of potentially embarrassing issues. I am just so proud of the young man he’s become! The clap out will be on Monday and I’m Going to be so proud and happy and we are going to celebrate all his achievements in the way they ought to be!
