Eating apples doesn’t work.

I have set myself up for a fun time next week – doctor’s visits the first three days. Monday, Joe goes to the vet at 5 to get his blood drawn to see if he’s on the right level of medication for his thyroid. He hates the vet. Tuesday, I go to my OB-GYN for my annual check-up at 5:15. I hate the stirrups. Wednesday, I go to the dentist for my cleaning and annual x-rays at 5:15. I don’t hate Skippy personally, but I hate going to the dentist’s office. It always costs me a shitload of money, and it does not make me happy. However, the cavity the size of Manhattan that I had last year convinced me of the value of preventative dentistry, so off to see Skippy I will go. I’m hoping it’s an easy in-and-out, and then I can go to Stitch n Bitch in the Slope. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I should also make an appointment to see my eye doctor sometime soon, but I just can’t bear the thought of another doctor right now.

The cold gets better at a snail’s pace. I’m back to work today, and I biked here which was a little stupid. I was exhausted when I got here, and I went at an easy pace the whole way. Perhaps I’m not as healthy as I thought. The fresh air has to be good for me, though, right?

  • Fresh air is indeed good for you. Over exerting yourself is not. I recommend you leave work early, go home, and stay on the couch.

  • don’t push yourself too hard, you don’t want a relapse. (says the girl who went to a Halloween Wii party and kind of lost her voice again)

    at least you’re getting all doctor fun over in one week instead of dragging it out. like a bandaid – rip it fast and it’s over.

  • I’m beginning to hate doctors.

    Not really the doctors so much as the NEED to see them on such a regular basis. Ugh.

  • You are a good life-maintenance person. My salutes. And of course you made me think of our lampshade/waiting room skit in theatre class w/ Mehler.

    I am in to see the midwife every 4 minutes these days because OH LOOK ONE OF HER EYELASHES FELL OUT DEAR HEAVENS WHAT NOW and I’m a bit wearied by the constant string of visits but glad to have health insurance to cover these important appointments to pee in cups.

  • What Vince said! You never stop! Do you ever really rest? I’d die at your pace. Everyone in our ER, doctors included swear by Vit C! I use the EmergenC in a cup of OJ. Depending on the flavor.

  • Jamie~I guess the answer is no. Even when I’m hanging out at my house, I’m up until all hours because I want to use that time for things that *I* want to do. We’re almost out of the EmergenC at my place. I’d better tell Rick to buy us some!

    Kendra~I’m very happy that I have health insurance to cover all this stuff. I wish my dental coverage was as good…in fact, it’s almost time to play one of my favorite blog games: “How much do we think this visit to see Skippy will cost Julie after reimbursement?”

    Aimee~I can imagine.

    ESC~I dread the visit to Skippy more than the visit to the gynecologist. Because the gyno will be over shortly and will cost me a $15 copay. The visit to Skippy will require x-rays, and who the hell knows what they will find and possibly need to drill, and will cost me a shitload. Which hurts more after a visit to the dentist, the mouth or the pocketbook?

    Vince~I stayed home most of yesterday. The snot saw that as a chance to regroup. I am blowing my nose all the time today. So much for resting!
