I gained nine pounds over the 37 days since I last weighed myself. I'm hoping at least 4 are water/TOM/flying related.
I'm on the treadmill again for the first time in 2 weeks. Once our cruise started to have a port every day, I just walked ashore rather than on a treadmill. So I have been moving most days, except for Tues/Wed/Thur of this week (travel and adjusting to being home.)
I slept in a bit this morning but was up an hour earlier than yesterday. I won't take melatonin tonight and will start my light therapy again today to help with energy level and sleep.
I still feel completely out of time/place. I really hate this feeling.
The doctor's appointment was useless except she couldn't feel a lump. So, having not found a lump she is sending me for a mammogram. Had she found a lump she would have sent me for a mammogram. So why she couldn't just book me a mammogram when I asked 2 weeks ago, instead of insisting on seeing me first is beyond my understanding (especially since I'm due for another this month anyway.) If this does turn into something serious, she just caused an additional delay of weeks.
At least I saved $150+ by not having the ship's doctor feel me up. He wouldn't have found anything either, and couldn't order a mammogram for when I got home so my doctor's office recommendation to see him was useless as well.
Edited to add: first available date for a mammogram was March 30. I yelled, pointing out in my mind, after 6 weeks of breast pain and sister who died of breast cancer, this was not routine. I'll go in on Monday. Geeesh.
