T-2 Days

What day is it? I keep thinking it’s Monday, but it’s not. I lost a couple of days.

Well, I didn’t lose them. They were there. I just didn’t do much.

I slept most of yesterday. My stomach was hurting and I was tired. So very tired.

At first, I thought I was sick. But I think it was just nerves. Trying not to worry about anything takes a lot of energy.

I ordered all of my post-surgery bathroom needs online: prune juice, stool softener and glycerin suppositories. Thank God I didn’t have to go to the store for those items. Thank you, Amazon!!

I ordered comfy, cozy pants in a size bigger than normal. Thank you, Amazon!!

The one thing I did have to do in person was talk to my primary care provider. I had really hoped he would just read the report (from the ultrasound) and put in the referral. But, no.

So I go in to see him and he can’t find the report. “So sorry to keep you waiting, are you sure they sent it? Hmm…I don’t see it in my inbox. Let me leave the room and try to hunt it down.”

Eventually, he comes back and tells me to go ahead and go home. He will keep looking. And when (if) he finds it, he will put the referral in.

*insert eye roll*

The good news is that he apparently found it as soon as I left, and he did put in the referral. More good news is that it was approved and they called me to make the appointment as soon as I got home. Bad news is that they wanted to see me next week.

That isn’t really bad news. It’s just that I can’t go in next week. I can’t go in for a while. And what do I mean by “a while?” I’m not exactly sure. But I’m going in 8 weeks.
