Productive Monday

   I coughed all night, but I woke up and my head wasn't killing me. I can still feel where the pain is but it covered itself up today. That's where the productive part enters. I was able to actually make a call that I have been putting off for 6 months. After all of that time it still sucked but turned out ok overall.  
   So with all of my confidence in my back pocket I thought I would give the old neurologist a call AGAIN to see if I could get in sooner. I called and left another message for their medical secretary. This is a huge practice. They have about 10 doctors, so all you get when calling is a maze of "press 1 or press 2". It took me a few times, then I finally got a person, and I asked for the office manager. 'Another voicemail', I left my name and a short message. Within 15 minutes the Practice Administrator calls to find out what's going on. With my voice almost gone I give her the quick version...couldn't see a doctor...have all of these pills...can't even get a call back...don't know what to do. She asks if she can call me right back and so she did, with an appointment on Wednesday mid-day! I was told last week from one of the doctors 'out of anyone you are probably getting the best care, and it's because you are likeable'. Now I just need for everyone in the medical field to L-O-V-E me and then I would be cured. I'm not sure what the day holds for Mr. Medical Secretary, but in truth I could care less if he gets in trouble. I'm not putting any hope in them, but they are the only people that can reduce the medication that their nurse practitioner gave me.
