More stuff!
Apr. 4th, 2023 11:43 amI got the phone call from the cardiologist’s office late last week. They wanted to get me set up for the stress test. The woman on the phone was very funny. She said that the doctor may decided to do something else, but they wanted to get me in as early as possible just in case. If the doctor decides to go another direction, they can cancel it.
Another reason why I like my current health system better than the last. My last doctor would have waited for me to have the heart attack, and then done something. Never anything preventative.
The bad side of this is that the stress test isn’t until mid May. So I have a month and a half to worry.
The first bill from the ER visit hit last week. Hit is the right word, it’s a lot. I called yesterday to see about starting a payment plan, and the very nice person I talked to said that I should wait. There was still a smaller part of the bill out to insurance, and the bill for the follow up with my doctor. Neither of those will be much, but it is so unusual to hear anyone say “hang on and do this later” when it comes to bills.
Music continues, slowly. My calluses are nonexistent. I have a month to do something about that. We’re playing more, and feeling better about it.
We have been rearranging gear. Lizzie’s pedalboard had become too small, so she grabbed my old board and is using that. The sounds she can get out of the fiddle are amazing. I have a small acoustic board, just a volume pedal, a tuner, a reverb and my usual preamp/DI. I’m also putting together an electric board. I want to get back to using the effects. There is so much gear in our house.
My voice is almost back to normal, I may actually be on FilkCast this week.
I’m tired today. I took yesterday off, had a mental health day. It helped a lot.
We have shenanigans planned this weekend. Rehearsal for some stuff at Demicon. Then a few quiet weekends, then Demicon. Oh, and we’re hosting a Steve Goodie house concert near the end of the month. That is always fun.
So better, but still dodgy.
