Eye Exam

Thursday, September 10, 2009

Today, I had my annual eye exam and my eyes are essential unchanged. When I inquired about needing to take my glasses off for close word, the optometrist took some measurements of the glasses on my face. It turns out that the glasses needed adjusting so I could look out of the proper area of the progressive lens (bifocals without the line). Now I see better up close. Also, I know what has to be done if the problem recurs.

  

Tired

Wednesday, September 09, 2009

I have had a difficult day today and am tired. A patient passed away and there were several other complications with patients. I guess that is what happens when I try to do a day and a half of work in one day. I am glad that I can be of assistance but am looking forward to being able to hit the sack tonight. Then it's back to work.

I under stand about patients deaths draining you. I work in a hospital too and long hours. But think of the good you did today instead. Report Inappropriate Comment

Work

Tuesday, September 08, 2009

Today and tomorrow will be extremely busy. I have to make up for taking Monday off. This means going into work early and staying late. I doubt that I will be able to get online before Wednesday night.
In anticipation, I did my Doc's Daily Chuckle for these two days in advance. I am planning small, frequent meals to keep my energy up.

Great time

Monday, September 07, 2009

I had a great time yesterday visiting with 3 of my sisters and their families.
I managed to skip the brownies and cake and limit my portion sizes.
At the single's meeting I won a prize in the joke contest.
Today I am resting up from all the driving.

New to blogging

Sunday, September 06, 2009

This is my first blog.
It is going to be a difficult day for me nutrition-wise. Breakfast will be after church during adult study time. The only thing served is coffee, juice and doughnuts. Lunch will be at my sister's house. No control over what she will serve. The visit will be super though as my sister is in from Colorado. After the visit, I'll have dinner on the road as I head up to a single's meeting. Planning a protein bar and veggies for that meal.

You have no control over the choices available to you, but you DO have control over which of those choices you pick. Pick the healthiest of those offered and you should do fine! Happy first blog! (And you get points, also!) Report Inappropriate Comment

Well, you know your sister has water, juice and coffee or tea.. you are wise to plan ahead and have control over the first two meals,, raw veggies on the road can fill you up too!! toss a couple apples or a banana in your bag,,, string cheese is good too.. your day sounds wonderful!!

I think it's great that you know where your challenges are going to be and you are planning as much as you can in advance. Can you bring a protein bar for your breakfast too? Good luck tomorrow! Report Inappropriate Comment
