After reading some of what other people are going through, I feel like a whiner. There are so many things going on and I just feel so overwhelmed.
Next Tuesday, my surgeon is supposed to set my surgery date. With any luck, that will still happen.
As some of you may recall, I had an abnormality discovered on a recent mammogram, and was scheduled for a mammogram guided biopsy. Unfortunately, they were unable to get a biopsy, and I am now scheduled for an MRI, with possibl MRI guided biopsy. This may end up postponing my surgery. It has definitely not helped my anxiety.
Also, now that I am getting closer to my surgery date, I've had to switch some of my medications to crushable ones, mainly my antidepressant/anti-anxiety medication. I started the new medication a week ago, but it takes about 6 weeks to adjust to changes in these meds, so I am not feeling the full therapeutic benefits yet.
One of my very first questions on this forum was about chewing everything 20 times. I was having a hard time with that, as it was making my gums really sore. I discovered last week that it was due to a poor fitting lower partial denture. I went to the dentist, they did a soft realign, and the partial sits firmly in place, but my gums are still very sore. I can only keep the partial in place for part of the day until my gums heal.
I also really suck at logging my food. To all of you that do it, how the heck do you do it? With all the trouble I've had with chewing, I am afraid my BMI may have dropped too low, and my logging won't be able to support my efforts to keep my calories up.
Thank you for letting me whine.
