    6 comments on Tests Are In …

    I posted before that I’ve been having some medical tests. And that I’m seeing an endocrinologist to treat hypothyroid. Some of you may have seen my tweet about getting a growth hormone test. Turns out I’m deficient in human growth hormone.  This may explain why I have less strength, stamina, and endurance than I used to have. I have met with my doc to discuss treatment, and am…

Um…no. Some of us don’t have Friday off work. Some of us don’t celebrate a gift-giving holiday soon. Some of us have already…

    First visit at the endocrinologist to treat hypothyroid. Waiting in the lobby with chairs whose arms are a bit too tight. I am weighed. The doctor asks me to sit on the exam table, so I do – no back support, legs dangling. In taking my medical history she asks about my weight history.  After more history, the doctor decides to take my blood pressure. While she wraps the…

The game centers around “portals”.  Portals can be gathering places, libraries, churches, unique businesses, or artworks — and, as a result of some business tie-ins, Zipcar stations & Jamba Juice stores are…
