I went to bed last night around 9, only to wake up before 11 and stay up until 4:30, to go back to sleep unti 6:15. I think I've cat-napped maybe 15 mintues today. DST needs to be one and done, my body can't handle what's going on plus this time change garbage.

Monday's doctor visit ended with 2 referrals, to you guessed it, 2 more doctors. They still haven't called me for my sleep test.

1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1/3 Cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce
½ Cup Milk of your choice
¾ Cup Sugar - I actually used 6 Tbsp Monk Fruit/ 6 Tbsp Splenda which the splenda was too much as I always forget less is more when it comes to that.

Slowly add to Dry Ingredients a little at at time

Spray some kind of oil onto your muffin pans.

Pour batter into muffin molds
Bake at 350F in my oven it took approx 30-35 minutes, other recipies say it takes 17-18 minutes.

Journey With Susan

So I got the go-ahead to start the Ozempic. I'll start tomorrow.
My CT showed nodules in other areas that they want looked at but are sending me back to my PCP for her to get that ball rolling since it's in the former house of reproduction.
Hopefully it's nothing but when the reader of the CT scan suggests, and I quote " at minimum, recommend attention on follow-up imaging " and I get these results not even an HOUR AFTER said CT. It does make me concerned.

So, I had my CT scan done without dye as I'm deathly allergic. They said I should have results by Friday.
Well, an hour after I got home my phone was notifiying me of said results.
Granted they've not bee reviewed by my Dr. but they are suggesting I get further scans as they see some nodules that need looking into - possiblly see an onocologist or a gynocologist and my liver is showing on this scan, borderline cirrhotic morphology.
Now I don't know if that means my stage 2/3 Fibrosis has gone to full stage 3. Or what?!
So we'll just sit here and be still like my momma used to say. In the meantime, my headache is slowly subsiding.

Journey With Susan

Well the snow/ice storm effect are still affecting how far we can go anywhere. My car won't handle it , it's too light. Hubby did go to the store yesterday, said our neighborhood streets are horrendous, the first main road is better, but not a lot. When he got to the 2nd main road, it was almost clear. My appointments for the past week were cancelled. Can't get in to see the specialist until AUGUST! Nutrionist JUNE! but the weight loss clinic is Tuesday of this coming week. We shall see if mother nature quits being a pain.
