I'll be glad when I get back from my trip, as I can move forward with taking care of my legs. Today, the thigh and calf muscles were "sort of" behaving, but my knees bothered me when I stood up. Pain killers will help a little, but I bet that there will be more things wrong with me that the doctor has to diagnose.

I didn't really start moving today until noon. This time, my knees were bothering me. So, I added some pain killers to my morning regimen of pills. But, I couldn't go out until after 2, as I had someone from a financial firm I had to talk to.
In mid afternoon, a lady from the financial firm called, and we proceeded to start signing me up as a client. Seems like the registration process stops when no beneficiary Social Security number is entered. Although I got the information from RQS (she's going to be my beneficiary), their system wouldn't allow me to continue - there's a bug in the environment. So, I'll have to make a phone call tomorrow.
Next, it was off to the drug store to get some pain killers. While there, I got new passport photos for the foreign birth registry AND a digital copy of the photo for use when renewing my US passport. Although the injectors (whatever you call the needles) were ready for me to pick up, the GLP-1 drug wasn't ready. I had to give the drug store my Medicare ID again. AARGH! Let's hope everything is taken care of before I leave on my trip.

With the possible exception of tomorrow, this will be the longest stretch of time I'll be spending as Mario for a long while. I can't wait to get back home from my trip, so that I can schedule more doctor appointments, and in-between, spend some time as Marian again.
