I recently received a letter from the parent health organization of my kidney doctor. They suggest an annual Chronic Disease Management Visit for complete health screening is in order. They will assess my medical conditions, medicines, lab results, and other health information to support my care management for the rest of the year. They also suggest this will help with care coordination.

I talked about these meetings with my dialysis nurse, and some patients do it and others don’t. I am of the mind to schedule an appointment and see what happens. Who knows, it might be worthwhile.

Meanwhile, back home in North Texas, my wife and I finished weeding the former iris bed and have decided we are going to sod the area. This will result in one less flower bed to maintain. Yesterday I harvested our first crop of Roma tomatoes and one hot pepper. See lead photo.
