A Day of Doctors Appointments
I had the day off today, and spent it going to various doctors appointments. First stop was to get my first mammogram, after which I had two appointments at Tufts Medical Center for my varicose veins. The vascular surgeon at Tufts is scheduling me for a thermal ablation procedure for both legs, which should clear up the problems associated with the varicose veins (pain, swelling and the lovely rash I have had on my right leg for months, which, as I had suspected, is also due to the varicose veins.) The procedure itself doesn't sound too terrible and is done under local anesthesia. He does them on Mondays and said I should be fine to be back at work Friday or Saturday. So as of now I am just waiting for the office to do the insurance pre-approval thing and call me to schedule it, probably for some time in July. Another fun thing to look forward to this summer!
ouch that sounds like its gonna hurt if you have to be out of work all week???
