Dueling Doctors!

Saved my place at the women's breast cancer conference for Tuesday. The plan is to work 1/2 day, then attend the conference. It's right in Latham, and Dr. Stram doesn't start till 1pm so that should work fine. Then, I'll work 1/2 day from home on Wed. Went to see Wayne Hogan today - he worked on my shoulder and it feels good right now - let's hope it stays that way. That's been bothering me for 3 months now. I figured out that I injured it when I was framing - screwing the brackets in the frames. Feels a little strange - He recommended the Essiac Tea, and the Del Immune, now this dr. is saying that the turkey mushrooms are better than the Essaic Tea, and there is a better probiotic than the Del Immune (which I guess is what that is). Each dr. has a little bit different slant on things. It's difficult, as I think they're all very good - but they all have a certain area of expertise, but because they're all holistic, they spread over into other areas. So then, I have to figure out which one I listen to for what. Ultimately, a lot is going to depend on my gut. At least with Dr. Stram, he will be getting a lot of testing done to determine what is best for me. That makes me feel better. And they have a nutritionist on staff to help me as well. So far this week, I've spent $600 on medical costs - really hoping I can get some of that back on insurance, but I have no idea how much. I'm not expecting much. Hopefully, I'll make a few bucks on my Open House Studio Sale on the 9th - that would be great. I've already sold 4 paintings, so that's a good sign.

I did get my 20 minute walk in today, and my meditation, but haven't done my qigong exercises yet. I put up some more Christmas decorations, and went to the market. I've been busy all day - but it never seems like I have enough time. I forgot to schedule an appt. for the blood test which should have been the first thing I did. Hopefully, they can fit me in tomorrow.
till then....
Have a great day!
