Tuesday Wild Goose Chase

Standard

I’m seriously thinking about finding a new doctor now. Bri and I went to get our triglycerides and cholesterol checked this morning (fasted). The lab at the doctor’s office wouldn’t do our bloodwork because our insurance (new this past January) wouldn’t let them draw the blood. That being said, we have to make a doctor’s appt for both of us just to get the script to take to the other lab! The weird thing is that both of the main doctors were walking around while the lady was giving us grief and I knew they heard what was going on. They could have said, oh here’s the script for the lab since we both were there at that very minute, but no, (we’ve been going there at least 20 years). They want their piece of the pie. Bummer.
So I tossed and turned all night. I’m going to research local doctors and not make appts right away. I did start on the refined fish oil that a friend had suggested, so maybe I’ll wait to see if that helps my triglycerides like it helped lower Brian’s. Plus the sweet little physician’s assistant left who I would see all the time. She was good too. She had her second child in April and she either left to be a full-time mommy or got another job. One time she went through my entire file and rearranged it.

Not sure what I’ll do today. There’s a new ‘fresh foods’ type of Trader’s Joe about 10 minutes away. I may go there. We are getting a blast of hot weather for a few days. My mom wanted to do something, maybe tomorrow, but it better be in an air conditioned place.

I did about 9 laps around the house for exercise-it’s something! Unfortunately it made my legs achy during the night. I used Icy Hot but couldn’t take Tylenol because of the fasting.

Cosmo the cat’s ears are much better. The drops are a pain to put in, but his little kitty ears looks squeaky clean. So maybe he did have a yeast problem.

Here’s to a better rest of the day!

  1. How frustrating! While Jim and Gaby were visiting, and during the many calls I’ve made to Dad while his partner recovers from her heartattack, I’ve heard such awful stories about how “big-business” standard medical care has become in the US. I guess I should stop complaining about how it is here. I hope you can find a new doctor that will give you the care you deserve.

  2. I don’t blame you for wanting to find another doctor…I always say we can’t afford to be sick, plus we don’t get the care we need anyway! I don’t have a family doctor, I rely on the walk in clinics and for now it’s ok. There’s just such a shortage of doctors around here. Glad to hear the kitty’s ears seem to be doing better! Have fun with your mom whatever you decide to do together:-) xox
