Oh well

At the last minute, actually, the Dr realized that I was allergic to Lidocane and cancelled the procedure for the day.  I was ready to go ahead, even with the allergy, but he said no.  We have rescheduled for next Thurs and Friday. Now he has to do surgery instead of a simple procedure. More tests next week and have to stay somewhere all night Thursday.  My friend has offered to go with me again, but she has to check with her husband about their schedule.

I am very disappointed that the procedure wasn't done.  I was ready to be out of pain.  This is supposed to work, and again my weight was mentioned by everyone I talked with yesterday.  I HAVE TO LOSE WEIGHT!  I'm considering a lapband procedure.  I have to contact my head doctor at Mayo to see if he will refer me, AND, if medicare will cover it.  Who knows?

The procedures and processes take a long time at Mayo. They are very thorough.  But, I'm frustrated, at times, with everything.  I hope that I am learning something; at the very least - patience.  And, we all know I certainly need that.

Back at home today and really wiped out.  I have to take the "Sim" that is in my bipad to the company today.  They need to read it and see if I'm following all the rules.  I THINK I should be okay.  I'm certainly sleeping better, usually for at least 6 hrs or more.

It was good to "refresh" my relationship with my friend.  It's very interesting in that we have a lot of the same ideas on what we need to be doing with our lives.  I wonder if God planned this?  He's know for doing things like that.
