Check That

Though we were home from the big city by twelve noon, we had two items to check off with no repeat of them needed.

I have been up since 4:30 and now in the mid afternoon, I can feel myself drooping.  We were at the heart center in Mankato by 8:45.  I have said it before . . . Dennis does not get us to appointments late.

I now have a cardiologist assigned to me.  Dr. Mohammad Sarref is the Senior Associate Consultant for Cardiovascular Diseases for Mayo at Mankato.  The doctor led off with allowing me to know he had looked over my records the night before.  There was no catch up needed.  There are no additional meds required.  He recommended that I repeat the esophageal test in one year.  I told him I had no qualms about swallowing a camera if it meant I could be assured of a healthy aortic valve.  He reiterated the need for staying active with rest being just as important and resting before fatigued.  Leaving, I felt reassured that I was in good hands with a business card for Dr. Sarref.  If any concerns are had between now and in a year, do not hesitate to call.   

Dads-ClockWe then motored on to St. Peter to pick up the clock that was being repaired.  It now runs via a battery.  A very small shop with an ever so interesting work bench.  I had a spot cleaned off in my sewing studio on a shelf so the time can be glanced at easily.  It is better than having it sit where there was an outlet and not easily seen.

It was home sweet home for us.  No medical appointments out of town remaining for us for the remainder of the month.  I am thrilled.

With that being stated, I am going to take in a luncheon with the stitchers tomorrow at Baker’s Square.  No . . . Dennis cannot come with.  Tee Hee!
