Okay, now that the doctor appointments are done for Rob for a month, I’ll post an update on it all. On the 30th, he had a follow up for his eye. The verdict is that it looks a lot better, but not completely gone yet, we’ll see what it looks like in another month. Until then, keep hot packing and taking the antibiotic. No problem! We can handle that.

Tuesday was dual appointment day for him. The first was a dental appointment where-in he had an initial exam and several x-rays done. He did not see the dentist, however, he was seen by the hygienist. That went well, he goes back on the 11th of September to see the actual Dentist and see where it goes from there. Shouldn’t be too bad, since they seem to have a higher level of intelligence than the last one he saw.

Tuesday afternoon, he had to see his regular physician. I’d been monitoring his blood sugar level daily since it was over 200 on 2 different compassions. I printed out the listing at the library and gave it to the nurse for the doctor to look at. His assessment, “You’re diabetic. Want to start the meds today or do the blood work first?” We opted for blood first, that way there wouldn’t be multiple changes when it came in. So Wednesday he went and had blood drawn, was told the results would be back in a week.

Last night, however, the phone rang. Twas the nurse with the results. Rob is now on diabetic medication and cholesterol medication, along with his fluid pill and antibiotic. Sucks to be him! At least we caught the problem now, rather than later.
