So yesterday was my first official appointment as Dr Purcell's patient. I was there for 90 minutes, and I feel like she knows more about me now than I do! She took a FULL history, blood pressure (100 over 50!), weight (144 on her scale, but 142 on mine this morning - I know which I prefer), and she used the stethoscope and looked in my ears and down my throat. I gave her my food log and we talked about food and emotions and I think she took 4 pages of notes.
Dr Purcell wants me to get a blood test for my thyroid. I absolutely freak out at blood tests, but I might just have to be a big girl and follow ALL of her suggestions if I want to get the most out of this journey. No point in taking half-measures when I want maximum results!
Next week we meet again and she'll answer all my questions and give me the information I need to follow her program.
