Planning the weekend, accomplished.

Planning the weekend, accomplished. 

Yup, my weekend is planned, it's not that much but for me it's full, lol. Today first I went to see my Doctor for a appointment, though I just sat a bit to long in the waiting room. After waiting 45 minutes I went to one of the assistance and I asked when my turn was, they told me that my appointment was yesterday, sigh! I made the appointment last Wednesday and I made it pretty clear that I wanted a appointment on Friday, the assistance and I made it very clear aswell that my appointment was on Friday morning 9:40 am. She told me I could come back in the afternoon at 3:40 pm, I told her that that was okay. I bought  few groceries on my way back and went home for a rest.

It wasn't that cold when I went back to the Doctor, they for spelled snow and cold upcoming weekend, strange weather. Once in the Doctor's building I sat down (once again, lol) to wait my turn. At 4:10, (20 min. to late, but oh well) a lady called me in, shook my hand and asked me where she could help her with. My Doctor has sometimes other Doctors too, to help him out. She was a nice lady, though and straight to the point, I told her my story where I came for, pressure on my chest, sometimes short breathed, and sometimes little stabs in my chest. It was a nice conversation with her, I told her about my thyroid and about my 'electrocardiography,' what I did last year. 

I bought a few photo frames this afternoon, I think they are nice. They have these little doors what I can close and open.
In the end the Doctor told me why I didn't came sooner. I told her that my chest pain became worse last year December, there's where it actually started. The 'highly breathing' (breathing with my chest) has been going on for such a long time, it really comes and goes. I guess I'm paying now the consequences, lol. I already knew that my chest pain wasn't a danger, the Doctor confirmed it this afternoon. She checked my blood pressure, all good, and listened to my heart, all good. The Doctor asked me what she then can do for the chest pain, medication? Therapy perhaps? I told her that I see this visit as a start for a cure for this 'highly breathing,' what actually causes the sometimes chest pain. 

I'm not that happy with the pictures though, Mom is in black and white and my Dad is in color, maybe I can change the color of Dad's picture, (black and white) somewhere in a photo shop. Further then that, I like the frames and the little doors attached to it.
 Therapy is what I want! That was her idea aswell, "It sure will be good for you," she told me. The Doctor will write a card for me what I can take with me to the therapist, upcoming Wednesday I can pick up the card. I'm excited and happy with the therapy, the therapy will be held in the same building as where my Doctor is, handy! Yeah, I really see this as a new start with this therapy, I'm super looking forward to it. Imagine when or if this will help, my breathing will get easier and probably I will get a bit more energy. My thyroid looks postive according to my last results, the Doctor told me. Although my thyroid is still sick and will never get a 100%, I'm happy with the last results.

My further plans for the weekend aren't that much, only I will see my Aunt and Uncle tomorrow morning. The trains in Nijverdal have a delay the whole month of March, so, it's not that easy to travel towards my Aunt. To get to Nijverdal I wil have to use the train and the bus, once in Nijverdal my Uncle will pick me up. Probably we will go first to my Dad's new grave, I must actually say my Mom and Dad's grave.My Aunt came with the idea to buy some plants for the grave, it's all fine with me. I have lots more to tell, but let's keep it with this for now. Otherwise I will have nothing to tell this weekend, lol. Positive things are on their way!
