Yesterday

Good golly, yesterday was ridiculous. I had a doctor’s appointment and ended up stuck there for six hours. SIX. HOURS.

I wasn’t really bothered by the long wait at first. Bored? You betcha. It was the fight for meds at the end that did me in. For some reason, the computer said I’d just picked up meds at the end of May, but they were wrong. They tried handing me a prescription. I said, no, I get the script filled here. Then one of the nurses tried to say the system was down and no meds could be dispensed. Well, me being tired, hurting, and now very frustrated, I said I wouldn’t leave without meds. I eventually prevailed, but it took an extra hour to achieve what should have been a ten minute transaction.

In the end, it all worked out. It just took a very long time. I was grateful that I was there alone and didn’t have LD visiting, sitting around with me. I realized this as I sat waiting for meds and a nice woman with five kids (ages 3-10) was just leaving…and she’d been there as long as I had! Those kids were very well-behaved, too. I know what it’s like, though, and I felt bad for her and for them.

It’s amazing how seeing something like that can change your perspective quickly.

Course, that doesn’t mean I still wasn’t feeling bitchy by the time I walked out of there.

  2. It was stupidly long. Now that I’ve had time to reflect upon the situation, I’m not pleased.
