We’re keeping the medical establishment in business with
four doctors’ appointments in two days for Elliott. He’d been feeling so good, and then out of nowhere, problems
with his back and leg started on Sunday.
Since then, he’s been miserable. The pain doctor gave him an injection today, but it won’t
bring immediate relief. And while
this was going on, Elliott also had his fourth post-op appointment with his eye
surgeon. It turns out that his
eyes are still infected so he’s back on a full-scale antibiotic regimen (oral,
eye drops, and eye ointment). The
good news? His pulmonologist says
his lungs sound great!
Also on Sunday, both of our printers died, and we went out
to buy a replacement. The new
machine prints, copies, scans, and faxes.
I am so proud of my accomplishments: I set it up as a network printer, and I learned how to send
a fax. It really came in handy
today after I applied online to George Mason University (so I can audit a
course or two in the spring semester).
I never realized I’d have to go through the long online application
process, which involves getting official transcripts sent from every college or
university I’ve ever attended. I
managed to fax transcript requests to three different schools. Fortunately, GMU didn’t require me to submit
an official transcript of my GMU work.
Now I’ll have to start working on Elliott’s application.
I guess I had a productive Sunday, because I also tried a muffin
recipe that I found in a vegan cookbook.
It’s not easy to come up with a recipe that’s vegan, low-carb, sugar-free
– and edible. But my
oatmeal-applesauce muffins weren’t bad at all, especially with a dab of peanut
butter. I’d like to experiment
with more muffin baking, so please send me any “healthy” recipes that you
have. (They don’t have to be
vegan.)
It’s time to do a little packing. Wednesday morning, I’m heading out to West Virginia for a
brief ladies trip to the mountain home of my friend, Eleanor. Elliott will be on his own for a couple
of days. I’ve told him – no wild
parties while I’m gone.
