“Love is Like a Butterfly.”

"It goes where it pleases, and pleases where it goes.”

That's the message at the bottom of this mural. It consists of a tree and a bunch of paper butterflies. Children who come to this laboratory for tests are invited to add their name to a butterfly.

At Sunrise Medical for Monday Murals 

I wound up here for blood tests on the recommendation of a medical office. We are following up on my hospital visit that determined I was dehydrated with postural hypotension. I also have some nutritional deficiencies, so my provider wants to find out if I am anemic, among other things. I am still dealing with fatigue and dizziness, even though I have increased my salt intake, and I continue to try to consume enough water.

I had not been to this location before, although I had been to the office park where it is located. I had trouble finding it because my GPS seemed to be confused and the street numbers did not run consecutively. Once I found it though, I did not have to wait to be seen. 

I’ll get my test results this week. 

Post #9200 Plus Two

Once again I missed a mile marker in blogging. I published post #9200 on Saturday. I have been blogging for over 20 years.

Today is Labor Day, the last holiday of summer here. I didn't want to drive on the crowded interstate highway so I just took Charlie to our nearby state park. Even that was more crowded than usual. We found a parking space and took a short walk.

It was a beautiful day and there’s a touch of autumn in the air.
