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!
