Hi from Marin. I just did what consuela always called "the Natter diet," which is reading the last 150 posts + I was curious if there'd been any discussions of GLP1s and I searched and found those. My doctor said, Sure go ahead on GLP1 and my insurance company said Not so fast. Bummer.

Wow, I do not want to be awake. Woof. Coffee, don't fail me now.

WHY AM I AWAKE

Surgery went well and now I’m waiting for Tim to wake up from anesthesia. The surgeon said it was actually 2 distinct lumps instead of 1, but said their appearance was more on the benign side, but obviously they won’t know for sure until the lumps are biopsied.

It’s 8:30 now, and I’m hoping to be back to sleep by 10 a.m.

Glad to hear it went well, Steph!

Glad it went well, Steph! Continued benign ~ma.

I am waiting to get an echo to see how my ejection fraction is holding up. Last one a couple years ago was good, so I'm hoping for same or better this year.

I want to do something today, but I haven't figured out what yet.

Oh, and since we switched insurance with DH's new job, I was declined for Ozempic -- so we're going to talk about Wegovy and Zepbound since they are approved for chronic weight management with at least one co-morbidity, and I'm still JUST at the "overweight" BMI even after 29 lb. loss. I feel like I have a decent shot. Also, I hate insurance games.

That's "funny," my insurance won't cover Zepbound even though it's approved for severe sleep apnea. But for diabetes, they'll approve Ozempic without a thought.

I have the distinct impression insurance companies use some big spinner wheel from a game show to determine whether or not they'll approve a given medication or procedure.

ejection fraction

Sounds close enough to something sexual to have me making giggle.

Okay, we made it home by 10:40, so I missed my goal of asleep by 10 a.m. And now I'm not quite sleepy enough to try to nap. I suspect I'll be ready for a nap after lunch, though.
