Went to the arterial doctor today for a checkup. He discovered the pulse in my left leg was on the weak side so he was having his office schedule and appointment for me to have a sonogram done and I have to see him next week after he gets his report back. If he wants to do surgery on it, I will not schedule it until we get back from Chicago, which should be on the 15th, I think. I have missed too many reunions with my girlfriends due to his surgeries on me and this last one was not directly his fault but the dead section of colon that also caused my UTI and appendicitis. He did, however, assist the main surgeon since he had placed stents in my abdominal region and he wanted to be sure he didn't inadvertently cause more problems for me.
I told him that he was unlucky for me whenever there was a reunion with my HS girlfriends planned. He just laughed. But I feel okay and there IS a pulse in the leg, albeit not as strong as the one in the right leg. So I doubt it would be a real problem. He said it shouldn't cause a problem since the artery was not closed, obviously.
When I got home, I took Baron outside for a bit and Dennis came over to ask how the Beast was doing. I told him what he had told me last night about his back and leg really bothering him and so he wasn't going to go fishing. That's when he asked me over to his house for dinner for some nice beef ribs. I accepted, of course, although he said dinner would be a bit later since he hadn't let it cook quit long enough the last time he made them.
I talked to the Beast to find out how he was feeling and told him he was going to miss a good dinner. And it was. Diane's scalloped potatoes were excellent and so was the salad she made with tiny little tomatoes in it and tasty garlic croutons. Dennis had used a rub called *Dang Good Rub* (I'm not kidding!) and it really was. None of us put any barbeque sauce on the ribs because it wasn't needed.
When I came home, Baron wanted dinner so I made him his rice, broccoli and added a bunch of chicken livers I had cooked earlier. He ate the whole bowl down to the shine...LOL. When he came to see me afterward while I was at my computer, I had to wipe rice and some small flecks of broccoli off his nose. He can be a messy eater.
I actually went to bed early but within just three hours (and I had let Baron out before I went to bed) he had gotten me up TWICE! I was ready to shoot him since I really AM tired. I washed and folded my clothes before I ended up taking a nap before I was supposed to be at Dennis and Diane's. I had about two hours to kill and woke up about 15 minutes before Dennis said dinner would be ready but I needn't have worried. The meat had another half hour to go and then 10 minutes to sit so I got dressed (again) in plenty of time.
I'm heading back for bed now since Baron seems to have settled down for the night and I really hope he has. Love you all and I hope you all had a great day. No hints (sorry). I'm just too tired and I really need to rest with what I have planned to do tomorrow. The Beast should be home around 4pm or so. ***Hugs***
