JULY 10, 2002


I had my new patient appointment with the endocrinologist.

Weight 145.
Blood pressure 110/76.

Not bad.  But he wants me to increase the cortisone to 30mg from 20mgs I don't know if I am happy or not.  I may feel better but weighed against the possible weight gain that destroys my psyche???  I don't know.  Sigh... I just don't know.  And I have worked so hard to get where I am to go back up.

He ran a bunch of blood work that I am not very familiar with but he said it is more than quite possible that I could be going through the change and test negative for it due to my pituitary.

So, another opinion heard from.

You are listening to Memories from the musical Cats, written by
Andrew Lloyd Webber and T.S. Eliot.  I felt this song was a perfect selection
for this site because of the affiliation I feel with Grizabella.  Although for her,
it was age and not health issues that changed her, neither of us are who we
were before, on the outside, and it can affect how we feel on the inside.
