Back from the docs

Okies, so I went to the doctor, amazed I got an appointment 2 hours after I rang, and I hate it in the waiting room cos there are other people waiting and I always try to suppress my coughing but it’s SO uncomfortable when all I wanna do is spit my lungs up.
Anyway eventually got in there.  I think it was the same doctor I had last time.  He told me that it’s just a viral thing going around and I basically just have to ride it out.  Great.  So I said chicken soup?  And he’s like yeah.  He did however write me out a strong cough suppressant medicine prescription so that was nice of him.  And I was out there – free of charge, thank you Medicare 🙂

After that I went to the city to my other cosmetic doctor.  I spent a while skimming through the various cosmetic magazines and observed the girls already in there waiting.  All girls, all perfect skin on their faces, clearly regulars from what I could pick up.  Probably back for a routine botox injection I presume?  That shit wears off doesn’t it?

So yeah my doctor called me in and I said I was there cos I just wanted her to check up on the moles and tell me if everything was okay.  She did and said they weren’t healed and would need at least two weeks.  I dunno if she meant two weeks from when I had them done or another week on top of the week I just went through!  She replaced my bandages though and ripped them off me.  I knew that would hurt, but it wasn’t overly bad.  She said that none of them were infected.  PHEW.  That’s what I was worried about.  The bandages she put on are MUCH better than the ones I put on.  She reckons the ones I put on were like what vets would use.  LOL – no wonder I had so much redness – the stickiness was ripping my skin off – literally.  She asked what one mark was that wasn’t there before and I said it was from the bandage.  So she covered that up too lol.  She said these bandages will last a long time so I shouldn’t even need to take them off.  I guess I’ll wear them for another week.  I asked her what bandages she uses and she said to ask the pharmacist for a clear window dressing 🙂  Yay I know what to get now.  I thanked her and put my shirt back on, and I heard her talk to the receptionist.  I was waiting at the counter ready to pay my $60 consultation fee, but the receptionist just stood there with a smile on her face and said ‘So that’s all then?’ sort of a question, yet sort of not.  She didn’t sit down or print anything or ask me to pay – it seemed to be my cue to leave.  I mean i guess all she did was replace my bandages, and I did fork over over a grand to her last week, but still, I found it nice they gave me the bandage change and the advice and her time free of charge.  I was probably only in there about 5 minutes or so.  She’s so lovely.  If I ever did get cosmetic surgery and could actually afford it lol, I’d get it from her.

After that I went ti Priceline to get my prescription.  It’s some sort of strawberry flavoured mixture that I’m meant to mix with honey and lemon.  The honey I have is all gross so I threw it out and just mixed it with lemon.  I don’t see how honey can help much more.  Either way, I took some.  Apparently it can make me quite drowsy and constipated.  Great.  Anything to get rid of this FUCKING COUGH – it’s driving me insane!!

Had a really nice chat this morning with you know who 🙂  I always like chatting to him.
