After several days doing barely anything, yesterday was productive and pleasant. I finally got a mammogram, which was fine. I don't need another for 2 years. We found and scheduled an appointment with a nephrologist for me. Had another IKEA consultation for our upcoming kitchen. Did some shopping at one of Prague's nicest malls. Finally found an authentic Chinese restaurant. Went to the movies and saw "The Menu" with Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy. Reached my old psychiatrist in Brno for an e-script for a 3-month supply of my psych meds. [I see my new pdoc Feb 1.] Hubby reached his old neurologist for an e-script, too. He still needs to find a new one.
Today? Pharmacy to pick up the meds. We'll need a huge bag! Hopefully also the blood letting center, try to schedule my CT scan (for my sinuses) and maybe my follow-up gynecologist exam, as my monthly has FINALLY ended, naturally. With all of this, I feel notably better.
My family is excited about our visit. As part of the trip, we'll slip away to Mexico to warm up and regroup. We'll do some beach, but also historic sites. Neither Hubby nor I have ever been to Mexico. We can't really afford it, but who cares! As a bonus, Hubby's friend (the one that came and stayed in Brno this past summer), may just join us in Mexico for part. In New Jersey, we'll stay with another friend. She's one of the others that visited us this past summer in CZ, but sadly only outdoors and one day, as we had covid-19 at the time. She'll leave after a couple days to see her family in China, but we'll stay in her house the full time we're there.
