I had a bad day today. I had a Doc appointment at 12 noon. I like my Doc. He is young and cute and seems to know his stuff. But I got there about 20 minutes early, and waited and waited. I hate waiting I am not good at it. I had my care provider's company thank goodness. I was brought back right at noon and given a temperature and blood pressure check. Then I had to go back to the waiting room because no room was available. I waited about an hour! My transport home had come and gone. I did talk to her and tell her this office was extremely busy. Medical runs usually do take a lot of time. There are often missed trips partly because of poor planning and partly because of too busy clinics and doctor's offices. Knowing that my transport had left and will need to come back shoots my anxiety level way up. This does not do my blood pressure well. The house mess and all the other financial worries don't help either. After another 15-20 minutes I was called back to see the doc. My blood pressure was up. With all my worries and a genetic component for high blood pressure, it does not surprise me that medication might be in order. I also got new asthma meds (the other ones did not work) We talked about getting some weights or a medicine ball for some exercise. I hate having flabby arms. And the diet issue came up though I think I am doing better. With the care provider here there is much less fast food in the house.
Then I got home. (thanks to a transit driver who understood how busy it was and worked to fit me in) I spent several hours on the phone trying to get information on the house mess and any utility help and got nothing. Wait and call back next week. Make sure that you give everyone the time to do what they need to do. I get it I do. There are thousands of people in the same boat I am. All this takes time. So I hurried, hurried, hurried to get paperwork in. Now what do I do? I wait. Remember, I hate waiting. It makes me anxious. There goes my blood pressure!
When I got home from the doc, there were 2 boxes from Avon. One was your basic Avon welcome kit and stuff that I ordered from my last order and one was a box of Avon books. I am up to my ears in AVON! If you know anyone who wants a catalog, post a comment or email me. I mean it. anyone HELP!
