Appt Hell Week

[CrazyCatWom]

Tomorrow begins my appointment hell week.

I'm only half joking when I say "In 2018 I lost my a career as a professional photographer for a career as a professional patient." The pay is lousey but the Healthcare benafit is pretty good.

However, since February, that pro patient thing is getting closer and closer to reality!

Monday I go to my podiatrist The cortisone shot he gave me back in Feb just isn't working as well as it did last year. So he sends me to a physical therapist to help with my plantar faciitis.

Tuesday having been discharged from the occupational therapist/certified lymphadema treatment therapist, I now see a physical therapist to help me with my plantar faciitis AND My balance issues.

Wednesday I get a day off--to call my insurance company to see if they will cover my pulmanologist, the c

CT scan, a respiration baseline test and dollar scan, and a cardiologist echo. Then I get to call the Women's Hospital to schedule my annual mommagram . . .

Friday is my cardiologist and I suspect he'll order blood tests and a stress test.

Thursday will be the hardest to get through. I will be saying goodbye to my neurologist.

Thinking it would be a face-to-face visit, I planned to give him a gift:I had one of my photographs printed, matted and framed. I wanted to do this to thank him for dramatically changing my life.

But I found out our last appointment will be a "virtual" visit, and I'm not sure how I would be able to get this gift to him.

I know it’s easy for me to say but try not to get too stressed. Take each day as it comes. Let us know how you get on. Blessings Jimeka 🤗

You're strong, CrazyCatWorm! I only schedule a couple appointments a week. Much more, and it takes too much out of me. I prefer only one a week, but I have a lot of catch up to do now that my lockdown has ended. Keep up the good work!

wow they will really be keeping you busy...about the picture for the doctor ,call the office or just stop by but i think it would better to ask if he is still around that you had wanted to see him for to say thank you for all of his help in your journey ...hope you get to connect with him before he leaves...enjoy life to the best you can and have a great rest when all of the apts...are over ...love and much happiness ...enjoy ...

This is what I was thinking, you can probably arrange to drop it off at the office a day or two before your appt so he gets it in time for you to tell him virtually how much you appreciated his care and about the photo you chose for him.If that isn't possible maybe they will let you mail it in.
