Sometimes Life Isn't Fair!


I love going to my primary physician as he is next door to an
excellent deli and AFTER I see the doc (and weigh in) I usually go there and
have a sandwich.

Well today it was a double header--my first visit to the
psychologist and then the primary--and the deli is right in the middle of the
both.



Won't go too much into the first psychologist visit as it was
mainly talk about why I was there--strangely enough I had an anxiety attack
waiting to see him!!!  :O) He did discuss the physiology (did I get that right?)
about the operation and how I am reacting. He, also, said  depression is a
natural state of affairs after such surgery but doctors still don't understand
the whys, wherefores and what can be done.  In any case since I did make
appointments for the 3 Thursdays as the bus will still be running and it lets me
off right at the corner.

After that I went to they primary who remarked that I seemed to
be gaining some weight which was good (to him, not me!!) and he changed the
tranquillizer prescription to 1 mg during the day and 1 mg at night--it will be
the same amount I have been taking but instead of  2 pills of .05 at night and
1/2 in morning and 1/2 in afternoon just the 2 pill a day---hopefully the
afternoon dosage won't put me to sleep watching the movie tomorrow!!! (Or maybe
I'll wait till after--will see how anxiety works.)



In any case I left the doc's office and went to the deli--tried
to open the door but couldn't--THEY WERE CLOSED BECAUSE IT IS YOM KIPPUR!!!!!



Wait until next Thursday!!!!!!


By the way, did I mention that I lost a $400  Play4 by 1 number!!!!

Well, it sounds like the psychologist might prove to be helpful, and you will get to see him more often, which is good.
Does your bus system have small buses that come by reservation. I know that RIPTA, our stateside system has the RIde program. People can call to schedule specific pick-ups. They are not always available, but people cane work to try to fit into allotted spots that are available.
