Smorgasbord of medical tests as well as lunch dishes

I barely slept Sunday night fearing that I would not wake up in time to make it to my early morning appointment at the Del Rio Civic Center where Life Line Screening had set up shop.  If you recall last year I miss out on registering and was told there was a Texas law that prevented them from doing so within a 21 hour period (why not 24 hours?). Now I believe the person I spoke with must of been a new uninformed employee. The lady I spoke with today said walk-ins have always been welcomed.

Arrived earlier even though on their e-mail they said that was not required I would be called at my appointed hour. Glad I did because they were having problems with their internet connection and their tablets were not working adequately.

If you are new to my blog you must know that it also doubles as my Cyber Journal as I do not have the best memory and if I document it here then I have easy access to it. I do not have medical insurance so at least in my case, I find the tests provided by Life Line Screening in particular if you bundle them up to be affordable.

These were all the tests I had today:

1. Stroke Risk Carotid Artery Plaque Build up
2. Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening
3. Osteoporosis Risk
4. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening
5. Atrial Fibrillation Screening
6. Kidney and Liver Function Screening
7. C-Reactive Protein Screening
8. A1C Test

I had to be fasting for all these tests and my last meal of the day had to be half of what I normally eat.  So I ate half a bowl of cereal at 11:00 p,m.  Needless to say, I was starving by the time my tests were completed.

Felt that I needed to treat myself so I headed to Sirloin Stockade for the lunch buffet.  Please do not be judgemental as I mentioned before all I had to eat Sunday was cereal for breakfast, no lunch and half a bowl of cereal for a late dinner.

Here are some of the selections I indulged in...remember NO food shaming!

Lasagna, zucchini, and cabbage

Baked tilapia, cabbage, zucchini. and
garlic bread (was not very good)

A hamburger patty, green beans, mashed potatoes
and more zucchini

Breaded pork chop (too salty), mashed potato, and cabbage

Went home to work off my lunch by doing yard work.  I was pleasantly surprised when all of a sudden we had a five-minute rain shower.  Unfortunately, the humidity became unbearable so I had to go inside.

Later in the afternoon, I went for an hour walk since I had missed my walk on Sunday and Monday morning.  In case you are wondering I have not eaten since lunch yesterday, in fact, I am not even hungry.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
