Went in for a 6 month lab update with my family doctor. Labs are great. I'm still on the edge of diabetes but the metformin I take for weight control is managing it if it needs managed. He didn't say anything about that so it's good.

I left with a diagnosis of bronchitis/possible pneumonia, a script for antibiotics and the hated "I'd give you steroids but I can't give you steroids".


Glad I had that appointment although I hated showing up sick to a wellness check. I have had a cough for a few days but it got a lot worse between yesterday and today so I couldn't cancel and I wasn't sure it was that bad until today. They had to get the doctor to agree to see me since I was wearing a mask. Oops. Maybe I should have called in but it's not COVID.


My mom posted a new picture on Facebook. I don't know if it is the angle or just a shot of reality but she suddenly looked her age to me in the photo. It really hit me that she's not young. She is so incredibly independent and active it's hard to remember. I hope the picture is off and I can return to my previously scheduled denial.
