Cheat Code

At a ‘moment of clarity m’ today, probably realized this last night, I canceled my October 1 appointment. I was reviewing my MyChart for my upcoming appointment. And I saw that it is in Troy. Wait. What?!

I thought about this, and I would NEVER have made an appointment in Troy! Not at this point in my disease! But as I was thinking about it after I took my detox, and was praying before I took my Cinnamon this morning, Dr. Bansal had to changed it herself!!!

As I was listening to my first rosary and drinking my nutrition shake, I thought about the fact that I first wanted to have a Visual Field Test on July 3. But she rescheduled it for sometime in August and that didn’t work for so I rescheduled it again. But then here was the ‘moment of clarity,’ I am the one in charge of my own schedule, and they just accommodate me. I was stressed out for this October 1 appointment because it was early in the day but I no longer can have early appointments! I realized that I was not the one to make the appointment! I knew that I made an appointment for Detroit!

I called Dr. Bansal’s nurse today. Well, I called ophthalmology and wanted to reschedule my appointment with her and then I was transferred to her nurse. I laid it out to this woman, I can’t even remember her name, I told her that I live in Dearborn and I am homebound now. There is no way that I can go to Troy at 2:30!

She completely understood and I told her that I would have to reschedule for sometime in May because I already have appointments for January, February, March, I’m waiting on April for my dermatologist, so my eyes will have to be in May.

She told me that Dr. Bansal‘s schedule was not open for May yet and that is when I realized the cheat code! I need to call Dr. Rumbatla’s Office on October 1 to make my appointment for sometime in April. So of course Dr. Bansal’s may schedule is not open yet. I will have to call her on November 1!

The cheat code was realized once I finally accepted that I am that I am this infirmed now! It startles me that is not even October yet and I already have the first quarter of 2025 scheduled! But just liked scheduling classes in college, it makes sense to me and I can see it clearly. I just never thought my life would be like this!!!
