I thought about back when I used to see my neurologist once a year. I am so far from that now!
I cannot believehow much I am racking up these doctors appointments! And they are ALL import! For example, my July appointments have just gone up to four. I have to get my teeth cleaned because I go every four months now, I am going to the optometrist because my eyes are definitely a thing now!, we will get our haircut because my hair is so short now, and now I have that surgery on July 15. A fellow MSer on Twitter told me that they have had that exact procedure and it’s no big deal. That definitely brought me relief!
I cannot postpone any of those appointments! Even though my disease is progressing beyond what I ever imagined, I’m still handling it. That’s what my Mom says. I don’t like it one bit, I never thought it would be like this, and it’s a little bit scary.
I told my Mom that I cannot get it through my head that I do not need to leave the house until June 18. I keep waking up, startled, and stressed out that I need to go somewhere or have an appointment or something.
I think I have done that for probably the last six months. It takes about a week for me to realize that I have already completed the appointments for the month. That’s a little bit scary too.
