New reality day 798

South Helsinki Shore line

Cloudy day with frequent showers.

We left home at 6:30 am and came back at 7:30 pm. It was a long day, but I also managed a lot.

At 7:30 am I was at Mäntsälä clinic to get my blood drawn.
At 9 am Buddha and I arrived at my parents' place. We walked few meters from the car and Buddha started to limp. I checked him paw which he was keeping up and hopping and there was a hornet attached to it. I managed to get it off, but it was too late to save the dog from pain. I had to carry him inside. I checked the paw and could not find the stinger(?), but the dog was miserable. We put some cortisone cream on the paw and then a piece of Aspirin to his mouth. 10 minutes after the aspirin he was clearly doing better. Not yet good, but clearly better. After about 90 minutes I was able to take him out for a walk. But getting stung by a hornet in October. What are the odds?

At 12:30 I was at my appointment at the hospital. All clear. No need for any additional work for now. Brilliant!

I also received a call from my occupational health care about the x-ray. The customer service wanted me to make the appointment. I told her that I think it's not for me and tried to explain the situation. I asked if I could make an appointment to hear the results of the blood drawn. I got one for Friday morning. And I promised to ask about the x-ray at that point.

I also booked a weekend get-away for me and my husband. And my father booked a similar to him and my mom. Both courtesy of the timeshare I own. Some additional vacations that we can get.

My husband came to pick me up at 5:30 pm. We stopped at Burger King on our way home.

I'm dead tired at this point. So glad I can go have a shower (if my legs had needed any work that would have been forbidden for 3 days) and go to bed.

It's been a looooooooooooooog day.
