Yay - Friday!! :) 

Just got back from the doc and have about 15 min before I leave the house to get the train. 

Doc checked ears, nose, throat, thyroid, tummy.  Listened to my heart and lungs.  Found/heard nothing.  Didn’t discount what I was feeling, just didn’t come up with anything.  Options were to do nothing for about a week and see what happens, use an inhaler to help w/ inflammation, get a chest x-ray.  He admitted the chest x-ray likely would show nothing.  I decided to try the inhaler for the weekend.  Lying down, I feel this funny sensation more than when upright.  This doesn’t keep me from doing anything, including exercising and sleepig and I’m not in pain or having shortness of breath, so I’ll just do the inhaler, see if it helps and call the doc back early next week as instructed. 

Yesterday was okay.  Food was alright.  All logged in TDP.  The doc office’s scale, fully clothed w/ shoes, showed a lower weight than Monday, but I’m not going by that.  Linda - I agree the hunger is probably from lack of protein, since I haven’t eaten any w/ breakfast, and have skipped morning snacks this week (because I usually eat an early lunch), and so the only protein through early afternoon is the amount from lunch, which included a couple salads w/ chicken and a couple Subway sandwiches (turkey, chicken).  This weekend I’ll go shopping and buy some cheese sticks, and I have some cottage cheese in the house.  I think I’ll get some almonds too.

Nothing scheduled for this weekend  - yesss! 

Okay, better get this published and pedal over to the train.
