Going to the Doctor

This morning I have an appointment with my primary doctor. It is a routine visit to be sure I can get my prescriptions renewed. She is, I know, going to ask me if I have made an appointment with the kidney doctor. The answer is no because going on what my urologist back in Vermont said, I don’t feel I need a urologist on standby, so to speak. The REAL answer is that I am sick of going to doctors. Since I moved from Vermont to North Carolina I know that visits to my new doctors are a necessity, but I want to be doing things and going places that are not appointments with doctors and visits to doctors’ offices!

I noticed this morning that I am only a little apprehensive about getting on the interstate to get to the doctor’s office. So, this is an improvement in my thinking. I haven’t thought about calling and canceling the appointment because of fear. Yes, there are interstates in Vermont and I drove on them but they were not six lanes and it did not matter one bit that I was in the wrong lane! {In fact, it think I have already mentioned that I wasn’t aware then that my GPS actually indicated the lanes I needed to be in when I lived there!} My objective today is to get to the doctor’s office without the GPS having to "recalculate" at all!

In a total change of subject, I had a shower this morning but I am still smelling –albeit very faintly–the onions on my hands from supper yesterday! Time to break out the lemon juice…
