Ok, I officially no longer enjoy going to the doctor's office. I can't actually say I ever did but man, now I really don't like it. I used to take pride when they would tell me I'm healthy, or blood pressure is really good, or even at the dentist when they would say "no cavities this time". Not anymore though....now I'm starting to dread it.
In the past 2 days, I've had 5 appointments. Yesterday morning was a genetics consult, then a visit over to the fertility doctor, and then finally it was an appointment to try on wigs. At least with the last one Adam and I had fun getting to see me with all sorts of hair styles and colors. Today it was a dentist appointment and then an echo test to get a baseline for my heart before chemo. Tomorrow is a free day and then Friday I have a consult with Radiation Oncology.
I've given up on trying to schedule appointments. I find that if I wait, they just get scheduled for me. And it's not, "Ok, what time works best for you?". It's always, "ok, you've been scheduled for 3 appointments at these dates/times...be sure to arrive 30 minutes early and see you then". I think I can officially say that when this is all said and done, I will have had more appointments than I have ever had in my life.
Probably not a good start to be complaining about the appointments but seriously, it's getting old. Hopefully when the chemo starts, appointments will settle down and I can get back to a "new normal".
Next week isn't looking to clear in my schedule either but more to follow on that. Time for an injection. ugh...it never ends.
Oh...and I still haven't cut my hair. Turns out the hubby wanted to cut the ponytail so now I'm on his time for when he wants to do it. :) But, I wouldn't have it any other way.
