Today was a very frustrating day for me. First of all, I just wanted to verify that my appointment with the gastroenterologist was at 2pm. Since my regular doctor had made the appointment for me after I had left his office and all I had was my note to myself that it was today at 2pm, I figured that I would get the doctor's address from the nurse at the same time I verified the appointment.
So, after a 3 hour wait for a return call (and darn near at what I thought was my appointment time), I finally get a return call from the receptionist at my doctor's office with the news that my appointment with the gastroenterologist is for tomorrow at 3:30pm! I then asked for the doctor's office number since she didn't have the address of their offices and I had to wait for another call back! After just 20 minutes, I don't get the address but she does have the phone number. *Sigh* Better something than nothing, right? So, I call them and get voice mail since they are out at lunch. *Pounding head on desk by this time*....but I leave a message, including an inquiry into whether or not my appointment was for today or tomorrow.
When I got the return call, the nurse tells me that it was originally scheduled for today but then they called my doctor to let him know it needed to be changed since all they had been supplied was my name and my problem (IBS-D). They assumed I would be notified but they didn't tell me since it was noted in my doctor's notes that I was on vacation...... Would it have been too much to ask for a note or referral slip to be sent to the house for me for when I got home??? Good grief.
The girls finally got on the ball today and there were 9 eggs laid in the nesting boxes. So, with the five that they laid yesterday that the Beast forgot to bring in from yesterday (they were in a bag he left out on the shelf when he swept out the barn), it was a total of 14 eggs he brought in today. *Grin* The Beast said that the chickens seemed to suddenly be eating a heck of a lot of seed from their feeder the last two days and he thinks they might just have needed that. No clue here. I don't pretend to know what makes them tick.
I tried getting hold of Cee several times the past few days but she must be busy with her company. So I will drive myself into the doctor's office in the morning (the Beast really wanted to go out with his church group as he regularly does every Thursday morning so I told him go...and said, not to worry, Cee will drive me!) Okay, so I lied. But he's been really good to me the past few days especially so I wanted him to do what he wanted to do. Besides, I have had no instances of light-headedness, no falling down and I am well hydrated. I mean so well-hydrated that I am peeing like a race horse! Sheesh! I even drove myself to the Dollar General this afternoon (and the Beast knew I did) with no problem. In fact, it felt great to not feel like a prisoner...LOL.
Well, I need to be up and dressed early tomorrow so I am going to close this missive and get to bed. I'm tired. I only took a short nap (about an hour) after we ate dinner and I am really tired. Love you all. Be good. Stay cool and don't forget to keep yourselves hydrated in this heat. ***Hugs***
