I'm home from the appointment and picking up some groceries. Bought some potato leek soup for my lunch and a banana so I had a PJB with my soup. The soup wasn't really good so I'm glad it didn't cost too much. I have another serving left.
Of course, it could be my taste-buds.
I also bought a Zevia cola and followed Harriet's drinking instructions from the H&F thread. It's OK. I couldn't tolerate stevia before (hated the taste) but I'm guessing that since the aspartame is out of my system, my taste for 0 cal sweeteners has changed. It is for sale at numerous places within walking distance so that gives me a new option for a flavoured 0 calorie drink.
I had a heart ultrasound, not echo. It went fine. Those things don't bother me at all since I had about one a decade all my life due to my heart defect. She told me aside from the defect everything looked fine which was nice although I wasn't worried about any other outcome.
Tomorrow will be the tougher day, mammogram. They are a breeze for me but I have great mental issue with them due to my sister's cancer. Which means I'll think of something to reward myself with tomorrow after the appointment.
I started writing the annual newsletter while in the waiting room but didn't have to wait long. I'm going to move to laptop configuration and put my feet up and do some writing. I should also go out for a walk.
My coughing was fine through the appointment. I wrapped a scarf around my neck and it has stopped almost all the coughing (no idea why probably pyschosomatic - I'm coughing up a storm while writing this!) I did have one big fit after lunch and nearly lost my lunch. I had some decaf tea (since the Zevia had caffeine) and that only helped settle me a bit.
