new General Practitioner

I had my first appointment with him today - Dr. Matthew Rose. He is in Vancouver, kinky/poly, and my acupuncturist's ex-husband. AND he kind of looks like the meanest sadist I know. Hmmm...

VERY easy to talk to. Asked tons of questions, listened to my answers, explained a lot of stuff. He is also an orthopaedic surgeon. He asked about my aches and pains and took note of a tender spot just the right of my sternum. He seemed concerned, asked that I have Sharon look at it, and then said I would have an EKG next time I saw him.

(heavy sigh)

I was going back to see Sharon next week any way. So I'll talk to her about it then.

In the meantime, he suggested I cut my caloric intake down to 1300 - 1400 calories a day and keep walking 2-3 miles/day to lose 1-2 pounds per week. We will see how this goes. The new anti-inflammatory diet will help with the calories, but we all know how much my body LOVES to lose pounds....not...

to do: 

1. make appointment for new labs (thyroid, cholesterol, etc): done! (4/10/13)
2. make appointment for next visit with Dr. Rose (2 weeks after the tests): done! (4/25/13)
3. find calorie counter app for android: done and downloaded
4. go grocery shopping!
