Saw my primary care doctor today. He said the incision is well healed, and I CAN DRIVE!!!
He reviewed my medications as they were written when I left the hospital, and he approved all. He wants me to start back on coumadin again, and get another blood test in a week.
For some reason the test run by the gastrointestinal doctor wasn't in my record, and he wants to get that. He OK'd the medication that the GI doctor prescribed. I don't have GERD or acid reflux, but I do a lot of burping. I do confess, thought that I occasionally do have some mild reflux. I'll take the medication and hope it will prevent a serious problem from developing.
Had lunch in a nice place, not pricey, after the doctor visit. We sat by the fireplace. Oh nice! I don't know why there weren't more people there, as it was the lunch hour when we were there. We got excellent service because we were the only ones there for awhile.
The physical therapist came by this afternoon. She'll continue twice a week as long as my eligibility lasts. She wants me to go for a short walk or two every day, so I got my mailbox key back, and I'll pick up my mail, and count that as one walk. She says she'll take me over some rough places, potholes, and such and stepping over curbs. I try to avoid the rough places, and I'm very careful stepping over curbs, thank you.
Surgeon on Thursday. I should get a date for repairing the colostomy.
It's been another Good Day, and I expect tomorrow will be even better.
Bless
