GASTROSCOPY

The wind came in great gusts yesterday and as we sat eating lunch out we were watching people nearly get blown away. The ride down to White Rock on the freeway was nearly pushing the car over as the rain smashed against the window.

We had been to a movie The Eagle and had really enjoyed a different day.  I knew that today I would be having my gastroscopy which had been moved up because of a cancellation.  This whole thing has not gone according to plan, which was I wouldn't even get into the specialist for months.  Had a great sleep last night with a little help from a pill but have woken up with a monster headache.  The good news is that it is at 11:30 not 2:30.  I remind myself that this is the route I choose to go and I think it is just a matter of elimination to see what is upsetting my body.

I guess that is true of a lot of things in life when we have to take a moment to discover what is stressing us out.  Some things just cannot be avoided.  But since we are all so different and unique it is different for each one of us.  I think we just want to live our lives doing what we enjoy, helping others and feeling healthy.  This can take effort and make us face some challenges.

.,Dad will be having a busy day taking the young girl to get her meds, then driving me to Peach Arch Hospital and then off to Surrey to visit another friend who is having major surgery and has problems because he is on blood thinners.  Then he will come back and pick me up.

Had time to walk around the block and take pictures.  The sun is actually shining.  It seem like the minutes actually dragged by waiting to go to the hospital.
