Doctor’s Appointment
Yesterday was kind of a disruptive day because I had a doctor’s appointment. It was well overdue. I don’t go to the doctor much, but I had to this year because my allergies were absolutely destroying me. I had extremely itchy eyes and and itchy nose. I would wake up in the morning and my eyes would be crusted over. It was sick. So, I finally decided to go into the doctor. I don’t have a lot of experience booking doctor appointments. I don’t have a standard family doctor. So, I just checked my providers online and found an allergist specialist. It ended up being in the local healthplex, which actually was a branch of our Children’s hospital.
When I walked in, I saw kids running around with Ben 10 action figures, and it looked like they were having a party for the girls. I made it past them and up to my office, greeted by nurse in her lovely medical scrubs. The first thing I had to do was blow in this tube to check my lungs. She made me do it like three times. When the doctor finally came in, she was very nice and helpful. It didn’t take too long to diagnose me with tree pollen, seasonal allergies. She prescribed me some meds, gave me some samples and I was on my way. Hopefully, these meds work well for this year and next year, I will be able to control them better.
