All Ducks in a Row?

Check (kinda)…

Ok.. this has been a lovely monday so far…

listen to THIS story by the ‘braindeadabella.’

I have been suffering with diverticulosis as you all are WELL aware..LOL.. so of course I have been in and out of the doctor’s office when I had my flare up 3-4 months ago… So I get this call from my doctor’s office advising me that I have an appointment with a dr. so and so.. located at so and so address and my appointment is in a week (today)… I was kinda scared and didn’t wanna know what it was about.. so I just “accepted” that I had this appointment and planned around it.

Then I started to get curious..

So I called the doctor so and so at such and such a numbAH.. and it was a voice mail saying absolutely nothing about who he is..

So I let it go.

THEN… I looked up on the internet last night the doctors name to see if I could get a HINT.

Found out today that I had the doctor’s name wrong.

So this morning, while Ryan was driving me downtown today TO THE DOCTOR’s.. I felt I really should know who he is and what he does.

So I call again.  And I listen to the WHOLE message this time… mentioned something about breast clinic.. blablabla

I panic.

I call my DOCTOR to see who this doctor was.. the receptionist couldn’t answer me.  Had no idea (Note to self, change doctors)

I panic.

Finally we get there.. and BLUSHING and APOLOGIZING for being such a STOOOPID girl I humbly asked why I was there and what the doctor specialized in.

“He’s a general surgeon”

PANIC.

So she saw my face and told me I was there to just discuss my “condition”.

Hmph.

What a day.

I toldja I had a good one 🙂

Mwah to da sistahs who NEVER panic and NEVER NEED TO

Em

Ryan and I had a GREAT week!  Lots of fun.. LOTS of learning.. talk about information overload!  I am not sure my brain has NOT worked that hard since Mcgill University..LOL
