I have an appointment with a Hematologist/Oncologist tomorrow morning as recommended by two doctors to review my recent diagnostic records with a focus on determining a diagnosis of my current symptoms and enlarged spleen . It is over a year since this process started and I want to be optimistic about gaining more information . If a treatment plan is not indicated because of no diagnosis I plan to go on doing the best I can in all aspects of my life . Can't sit around thinking about it . I've got lots of things to do and I am a young 80 . Sure, I continue to have physical issues that aren't easy to deal with and the aging process can probably explain most . I think there are very few people who at a certain age can say they don't have ANY issues . It is just the way it is .
When I was gathering some of my medical records I observed something I will mention to the doctor. When the last lab report was reviewed by the doctor he said that the numbers were close to normal range . After I was able to see the report I noted that there are six components that are outside the normal perimeters with some higher and some lower in range. Not by much but none the less as I recall most ALL of my lab work in the past has been within normal range other than cholesterol and occasionally in the past, slight anemia . On rare occasions if I was being treated for a specific condition the lab work may have had some deviation .

Unfortunately, it seems that these days the doctors don't have access to past medical reports in order to do comparisons or observe change in patterns which is important while determining a diagnosis .
Hopefully, tomorrows appointment will be worthwhile !
We are having a beautiful bright sunny morning and everything outdoors is freshly watered by a brief thunderstorm that we had in the middle of the night . Our next few days are forecast to be on the cooler side , like in the low 70's .
This side of the house is the most visible . The door is for the garage.
We are really liking how it all turned out with the chosen colors . With the many surrounding trees the colors seem to be just the right intensity . Lots of compliments from neighbors . They continue to call it "The Happy House".
This is the bedroom side of the house with a lot of trees .
And, this shows how the front entrance of the house is not very visible from the front street . If I was to design a house for this location it would be very very different . However, I feel so grateful to be able to live here !!!
Happy Weekend !

I just went out to take a couple photos of the house . The way the house is situated on the land makes it difficult to photograph . And, the house is kind of tucked into a lot of trees .
The entrance to the house has always been rather non-impressive . This is where the patio is. I enjoy decorating the patio with interesting items to give a little personality . There are no windows on these two sides of the house other than the large bathroom window that you can see in the photo . I had the window installed when I had the bathroom updated and that was about 10 years ago. Oh, let me show a photo of the inside ! I really love the bathroom !!!
Happy Weekend !
