Sadly, I had no ride to make it to my WW meeting today :(
I went ahead and weighed myself at home just to see if my week went as I though, and I was right. No loss, but no significant gain. I was not on my best behavior and had some candy a couple of days in a row, not to mention having eaten out A LOT. I didn't prepare any meals at home what so ever, and I think that is was got me. I found that when I was extremely active in the kitchen making foods, my weight dropped much more than the times when I relied on other people to make my food for me.
I hope I can make a difference this week, to kind of make it up to myself,
But today I was trying to get in to the doctor today for a hormone check up, and tomorrow I have to go back to the Opthomology department at the hospital. Why, you ask? Because last week I had a my monthly check in with my eye doctor, and he administered a shot to my right eye to maintain stability, and for whatever reason only the resident doctor looked at my eyes through the viewer. My main doctor usually double checks everything, but not that day. Well, on Thursday, I started having trouble seeing with my left eye ( like a dip was forming in words at the top) and as the days have gone by, it has just gotten more pronounced... so I think I will be dropping in for an emergency treatment tomorrow to keep a scar from forming. I only have the one "good" eye right now and I am going to try everything to keep it in as best condition as possible.
Something interesting happened this week. I found out one of my coworkers actually goes to the same clinic I go to, he uses my old doctor! He goes in for a different reason, though. He had a stroke which caused him to go blind, and when the doctors were trying to fix his retinas, they had crossed the central vision with the laser... causing a huge scar. He actually is getting treatment via injection to have the scars reduced. Somehow, the shot he receives "eats" away at the scar tissue. Hopefully, soon he will be able to get off of disabilities to work full time again.
It's interesting how many people you meet with similar issues, that you could have never known about without talking to them.
