Misty, damp end of the month

Hard to believe it's the end of October already.  The remnants of a hurricane have brought us a couple days of light rain and mist.  I did venture out this morning on an early walk and found myself damp with mist.  It was very quiet out and you could see the moisture in the air.  You can kind of see the mistiness in a pic I took as I headed downtown to walk around the courthouse.

We had to switch doctors because of insurance changes and our new doc wants to put Chris thru a bunch of tests.  Chris is a bit unnerved by this, but I am a bit relieved as I've been concerned about him for awhile now.  His blood pressure always seems to be a tad high despite being on several medications for it.  Our previous doctor ran very few tests, the new one wants to do a lot.   How is one to know what is necessary and what is not?  We are both overweight, but my weigh fluctuates a lot as I know how to lose, but then I also know how not to eat very well and the weight comes back.  Chris has always been quite heavy and to me, doesn't seem to eat the volume of calories one would think to be over 300 pounds.  Two of the tests he is to have is for diabetes and thyroid. The doctor felt his neck and think his thyroid may be enlarged.  He is also having a stress test and maybe a sleep study.  Chris still is on the fence about doing that.  

So, we'll see.  Of course, as my mind goes I immediately begin to worry about what this will cost us in the end.  We do have insurance, but as most go now deductibles are fairly high. Hopefully payment plans can be worked out.

And so, life goes on....
