The Day I Got Lost....One of Many

I had an appointment with the family doctor today to check on a problem with my inner ear.  I was so tired and anxious about being on time, that I took the wrong exit off the Interstate.  Good thing I had given myself an extra hour!  I used my cell phone to call the secretary at the doctor's office and she gave me great directions. 

After much winding around interstates and country roads, I arrived at the office...only 20 minutes late! Then the doctor looked in my throat and ears, listened to my chest, and sent me to x-ray.  In XRay they told me that I needed a bone scan.  That was a surprise!!  I wish they had told me they wanted to do this on this very day!!  I told them I would rather come back another day. I think I shocked them because I didn't do what they expected.

At any rate, I got my throat and ears checked and my chest listened to.  The doctor says it is time for my Spring checkup!!  He gives one every six months.  By the time I finish one, the next one is due.  All I could say was...nothing.  They better get all these tests over before the first of April.  Then I go to arrange for cataract removal. 

My eyes are the most important thing to me than any thing right now.  My left eye has lost a lot of sight because of lazy eye as a kid.  So, I really have to take care of my other eye..  I see quite well with glasses.  I want to keep it that way!

I believe they were all a bit shocked when I left the office and just went home with an appointment for the bone scan next Monday afternoon.  I pay them enough to have things done when I want and need them.  We'll talk about that "paying" in another post real soon.  Stay tuned and thanks for reading.
