And about that....

Yuh.  Um.  I'm not going.  You can't make me.  Even Trent agrees.  I received a pile of paperwork from the "other" pulmonologist's office a few days ago, mostly focused on sleep disorders.  However it was the letter that included the following instruction that put me over the edge:  "if you do not completely fill in the 7 Day Sleep Log we may have to reschedule you".  SOME people (kind and patient people might not take offense) but this ticked me off.  I called the office and asked if it was necessary for me to fill in ALL this paperwork, particularly when I am an existing patient within their practice AND because I am NOT being seen for any kind of sleep disorder.  She said that I could skip the financial portion, but all the medical stuff needs to be filled in because "this IS a new doctor for you".  If I were still feeling crumby I'd go.  But, I really doubt this visit would bring me anything but (further) annoyance.  If they can't access the most basic of my medical records through THEIR clinic then this will be a fiasco.

My numbers are still getting better.  I'm at 1.82 now and working out consistently...  I don't need no new doctah.  I'm fine.   And anyway, I'm busy that day.  You concur, don't you Mike?
