I am back from an appointment at Group Health. I think my PCP, Dr. Thomas Horst, was wearing the exact same kinda tropical shirt he was wearing when I saw him last year. He seems pretty cool to me; when we first moved here, I originally choose him because his web profile said that he enjoys “playing with his two strange cats and one goofy dog” or something like that. Amanda actually sees another person there, who is also nice, and while it may be advantageous for us to have the same PCP, I don’t think I will switch.
I went in to finally start dealing with my sleep apnea. It been one of those things where I have no idea if my life would be azmatonishingly better if something could be done about it. Amanda thinks that I would be 1000% more productive and curing cancer and whatnot if I got better sleep rather than being my normal relaxed and perhaps slightly spacey self. As I expected, I have to make another appointment with Group Health’s Sleep Medicine people.
Dr. Horst did not seem all that alarmed that my blood pressure seemed high (at least to me)… 138/85 or something like that. My BP and pulse always are jacked up when I see a medical professional, and he did say that it probably would be lower if he took it again. I should probably check it at home more. I was happy that my heart rate was 60, though.
I should probably make a more general continuing health appointment to check cholesterol and more long term stuff and since I am like old and all. I forgot to ask him about that as it would have been easy for me to get blood drawn and whatever since I was already there.
Amanda is at clinic right now after her night shift. She only has the morning shift, so I will be picking her up soon. Piglet is out marauding as usual.
