The week of Doctors Appointments is finally over.

As you know, Macie had her one month check up the other day and all is well. We have decided to continue feeding her what we were and not listen to the Dr. Macie eats when she's hungry and will stop when she is full. I'm not going to deprive her of food!! She gets a little mad if there's not just enough.
I had my 6 week check up and all is well for the most part. My blood pressure was good so the medication seems to be doing it's job. He cut the dose in half and then I go back in two weeks for a BP check and some blood work to see if my liver and kidneys are back to normal. He gave me the go ahead to start working out again (I didn't mention that I had been doing that already for 2 weeks)!
I also finally broke down and went to the dermatologist yesterday. I have had two questionable spots on me that I have ignored for way too long. With our family history....DUMB. So, the Dr. looked at them and said I should have biopsies done on both. They numbed the areas and removed some tissue. Now we play the waiting game. They said it takes 10-14 days to get the results-that stinks. And by the way.....OUCH- hurts when the Novocaine wears off-dang!

glad all is sort of well.. I know what you mean about the biopsy. I had 3 moles removed in college and the whole drive back to school was painful b/c the novicane wore off... VERY uncomfortable. Wait til it starts itching!!!!
