Eventful two days coming up

I'm looking forward to Monday. Well, the MRI of my brain isn't exciting, but not painful and I praise God for good insurance.
It's because my cortisol and potassium levels are very low, so my Endocrinologist (I have a new doctor...yay) wants to check my pituitary gland.
Then that afternoon I have an appointment at the Costco Hearing Center in Raleigh to see about new hearing aids. It's the closest one which is two hours away.
But we'll make a day trip out of it, do a little shopping, and eat somewhere good.
Tomorrow is Pastor Appreciation Sunday and Dale was asked to speak, then we're having a covered dish dinner after the service. I'm making a sausage rice casserole to take.
So, hopefully a good two days coming up.

I've been taking steroid pills, so hoping they've helped. Have you heard from your MRI yet?

@1creekgirl I hope those steroid pills are doing their job. 
No word on the MRI yet, but based on the X-rays they made me do first it probably won’t be great. However, Iv feel pretty good right now. This doctor just seems to be ordering more tests than normal.

@AmbiePam Some docs are like that. I pray you won't have to have surgery.

@1creekgirl We're doing okay. George is asking for random foods. And, his weight is up. He's actually complaining some of his clothes are too small.

@1creekgirl He would get very puffed and tired but the last week he really seems to have improved, thanks. Apart from taking care not to do too much, we're not making too many allowances for him.

You've been missed. I hope the MRI goes well for you. Wow! Two hours to go for hearing aids is far!!! Have you tried the OTC hearing aids? They are so inexpensive. Have a good weekend.

I have such severe hearing loss now, but I hate to pay $6,000 at my Audiologist's. Costco has lots of good reviews at half the cost.

I keep wondering if Medicare or my BC/BS will cut off paying. They've paid a fortune for me.
