The present we have prepared for her will be in the back of the car. It is three-feet long and rather heavy. We must remember to include the note I wrote to explain it all. I will post a photo of it and what was written on the card on Friday.
It was doctor day yesterday. I made the appointments for the sonogram of my belly for the liver doctor, a colonoscopy and today, I will make a mammogram appointment. The next time I am on the major campus of my university campus, I have decided to visit the rheumatology department to find out why I have not heard anything from them regarding my referral back in October 2017. The growth on my hand disappeared but was replaced by a hard knob right on the first knuckle. Clearly, I also have a connective tissue disease, Reynaud's. My poor toes turn a deep maroon, are icy cold and are beginning to become numb. Both of my parents had Reynaud's. I am learning that there is a huge connection of people with an ILD also developing a connective tissue disease and vice versa.
My eye seems somewhat better and I find it so odd that wearing contact lenses is a relief. I don't even notice it until I return to my glasses. To rehab class I go this morning, I will be returning the helpful samples of origami cranes to Sashi along with new paper as a thank you. I made 10 cranes to be on the table at the luncheon for mom's 90th birthday, 5 of them to be included on the boxes of Godiva chocolates with will also have a small photo of mom and dad in their youth on each box as party favors and 1 to be sent with the invitation to the luncheon to her girlfriend and her husband. The 10 on the luncheon table will be added to mom's beautiful vase of the 80 cranes I made for her 80th birthday. The total: 90 cranes for her 90th birthday.
