My Mom got a phone call today. It was Dr. Cerghet’s office (my neurologist) to tell me that there was a cancellation and to see if I could see her today at 1:30. She told me that when I woke up today.
I thanked her for telling them that I need to be on top of my game for that appointment and that I was still sleeping so will not take the new appointment. I will keep my appointment for August 5.
I have NEVER expected it to be like this! I have entered into such a complicated dance! That’s my ENTIRE life now. I tell my Mom that all the time. It doesn’t make me angry or even sad; but I NEVER expected it!
It startles me and KEEPS startling me! For example, my Mom needs to reschedule my colonoscopy because I sleep in too late (it’s beyond my control now ) and she’s my caregiver. We were told to call back at the end of July to reschedule for the beginning of October.
So, my Mom did that today and I texted her all the dates that were possible for October. But here’s where it gets complicated, I need to stop taking my supplements for 10 days prior to my next colonoscopy. But I have a September 23 appointment with my naturopath to dose me for a supplement that will help with my gastritis.
And, to further complicate things, I rent a van to go to the Cider Mill every October! I think that will be the fourth year that we are doing it and Sean is going to come this time!
This is a dance that I NEVER wanted to be a part of, nor did I EVER think that I would be, but I am. I don’t even think it’s begrudgingly…. It’s not like that. It’s just how it is.
