RSHagen's Journal

I guess I havent noticed too much difference, but since I started attending my sessions with my RN, I feel like there is someone else who is getting the whole picture.  I live with a great family, but when they each have their own issues,  Mom's always gets neglected.   I have a very nice nurse.  We are still working on my pain assessment,   my body map is nearly all covered, and since I have a number of different issues, alot of the pain overlaps.     when we are done I will see the Dr there, he will inturn reasses my needs and since he is seeing everything all at once,  it may be better than having to divide needs over appoinments with my GP.  Dr."Dave" will then make recommendations,  rehab or physio for specific areas, or an exercise program.   I just realized as I am writing that there was an open clinic today that I totally forgot,  anyway, I was so tired I would have fallen asleep.

So I guess, if I was to rate my life today I would say I am making progress...   I had my physical today and the dr told me my cholesteral is up.   6.3 I think,  bad @4.6,  I should have written it down, but I will get it next time I go.   anyway, all my other tests were good, asside from my weight which is down from last month, but up from my last checkup,  and my foot is starting to feel better,  and when it is I will start walking more. well that is the game plan.
