I had my annual physical with Dr. O'Connor today. Here are the vital numbers from my blood draw.
Everything looked good over last time.
I noticed about a week ago that the vision in my left eye was a little cloudy. I had Dr. O'Connor take a look and he says I have a cataract forming. He is referring me to Spokane Eye Clinic.
My prostate appears to be okay.
He is also sending me in for an x-ray on my shoulder. It's been inexplicably sore for a while now and I want to know what is going on.
All else is going well.
My foot is still in good shape but that is not surprising a week after having the little knob removed.
It is Sunday and I have been in bed all weekend. I do not feel like I'm getting better but I'm not really all that bad. Yeah, the coughing is annoying, the sniffling is a drag. But I don't have any headaches, or stiffness. If it wasn't for the coughing, I would be up doing stuff.
Then again, the cold gives me an excuse for staying in bed and watching football and stuff on Netflix alllllllllll weekend.
I'm planning on going to work tomorrow. I just have to keep away from everyone.
On Thursday, I came down with a cold. I noticed I was coughing pretty good in the afternoon and by the time I got home, it was a heavy persistent cough and my throat was sore. By the end of the night, my whole chest area was sore from coughing.
It is Friday afternoon and I am at home. I went to work this morning because I had to make sure a couple of jobs were ready for Monday. I left at noon and I am heading for bed. I have Nyquil and cough drops.
I have been suffering with a slight foot problem for the last 6 months. The problem involves a plugged pore. It's on the outside of my left foot just behind my little toe. It's a hard spot that could be best described as a corn. I've tried hitting it with a pumas stone. That has not worked.
It can be painful at times when I am walking around and then can just as quickly can be hardly felt.
I had this problem about three years ago and Dr. O'Connor referred me to a podiatrist, Dr. Whitting. He solved the problem quickly and efficiently and I was pain free for a couple years.
I noticed the problem again back in March and mentioned the problem to Dr. O'Connor when I saw him in April. He pulled out a little scalpel and hacked at the problem and it felt better for about half a day.
But the pain quickly returned and has been plaguing me ever since.
I finally arranged to see Dr. Whitting again and today was the day. I am fresh out of his office and feeling much better. However, there is still kind of a hard spot in that area.
Dr. Whitting said that it may require a freezing session. He usually treats this sort of thing like a wart and freezing the thing off seems to offer the most permanent solution.
It does feel much better and I'm going to keep an eye on it.
Now, I have to go to the local Social Security office to fix a problem with my account. I expect to be there for a couple of hours.
