New Doctor...

Well, I actually remembered to go to my dr. appt. yesterday! LOL

I got there and there were about 15 people all waiting.. I thought "great, I'll be here *forever* since I'm a work-in".  My appt. was at 1:15 (along with about 4 others that were there waiting for the same doctor).  I got there at 12:50 and settled in my chair for the long wait I just *knew* was ahead of me. 

Some were talking among themselves and I heard some say their appt. was at 12:45, 1:00 and the dreaded 1:15.

I filled out all the "New Patient" paperwork.. I thought they were going to ask for my first born... there was a TON of papers to fill out! 

After I got that done, it was about 1:20 and I settled in with a magazine and only got about half way through it when they called my name!  Ohhh, I could feel the daggers shooting through me from the others that were waiting!  I slunk through the door to where the nurse was taking me back to the exam room and asked her if she was trying to get me killed! LOL

I had a short wait before the PA came in.  He was very nice, did all the checks and got more information... since I had to fill out about 10 pages of stuff when I got there (being a new patient).. I was a bit annoyed when he started asking me many of the same questions that I'd answered already!  But, such is life in a doctors office I guess.

Shortly after that the new doctor came in.  He was very nice, a little hard to understand (He is from India).  But, he looked at the (minimal) records my last doctor sent to him and did some checks on my legs. 

He decided that with the refill (on Monday) that he will increase the Baclofen and Morphine and increase the amount that I'll receive daily since I have a *lot* of spacticity in my legs.  I told him that I knew I needed an adjustment but the 300 mile round trip to Nashville had just become too much for me to handle.  So I go back to see him on Monday and he will refill the pump and increase the dosage.  I'm looking forward to some relief!

I got home at about 3:20, just after Tyler got home from school.  Tom was here so he didn't have to come in to an empty house.  I was exhausted from my "day out", so we all went to the local BBQ place for supper.

I watched the new show "Revelations" on TV at 8:00 and after that.. well I have no idea.. I woke up in my chair at 11:30!

So all in all, I'm happy with the new doctor, the appt. went well.  These are both very good things! :)

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Do you think I should call you Monday morning and remind you of your appointment. I thought I was supposed to be the forgetful one. LOL

Love you,

I find that even though you are spending most of the day on your rear, it can really poop you out. Doing so little but so much.
