Where to begin. We still don't have hot water. They came and installed a new tank at the rate of $720, and yes that was the lowest price going for install and take away. It was not giving hot water an hour after the guy left so we called back and another guy came and checked it and said the 1st guy had caused it to trip and he reset it and told us we'd have hot water in 5-10 minutes. It didn't happen and we called back. They are coming today to install another tank, cuz apparently that one is defective. I-yi-yi, it's enough to drive you insane, and the thing is when he emptied our old tank the water was boiling hot. He didn't know why it wasn't getting into the house and I've never heard of it so we're stumped. DH told them for the price we paid we need a new tank, because believe me they were going to try to troubleshoot this new one and we're not falling for that. I need something that is going to work for the rest of our lives. That shower was so cold that my feet were freezing afterwards.
My wellness visit with my PCP was a real eye opener for me. My dr informed me that my bad cholesterol was still high, higher than the reading last year so I have to start taking the statin. He told me that I needed the med because of my arthrosclerosis and I asked him why he didn't tell me I had that disease. He said he had told me, back in 2015 he did a venous doppler and I had forgotten about it. I'm also supposed to be taking a baby aspirin per day and I didn't know that. I stopped taking the BA years ago becuz of the Naproxen. You should not take 2 NSAID's together. Now I'm no longer taking that med, since 2013, and my doc is the one who stopped it. I don't know if when he told me about my hardening of the arteries that I didn't understand him, (he is East Indian) or if it just didn't sink in, but I have got to get off the salt food and try to remedy this. It's scary and add to that the very frustrating episode of the tank and I was totally ready to scream by nightfall. Lord, give me strength.
The tile guy is doing a great job and he will start putting the tile up today. It's coming together. He is giving us a break before he does the floor tile cuz we need it and so does he.
Other than the bad cholesterol being out of whack my other blood work was fine. I learned some exercises to relieve the sciatic nerve pain from the nurse. She has had sciatic pain almost since birth and is quite knowledgeable. I asked her why doc didn't tell me about them and she said he's never had sciatic pain, but I do remember now that he referred me to the pain management doctor at the time and told me about the shots and some exercises they could do. Anyway, he is sending me to the pain management doctor for some injections. Maybe they will help. Hope so.
I will have nothing on my plate today cuz I need a rest. It's too much happening around here and my whole being is off kilter. I need a zen day. Peace & Plenty.
