Doctor success!
Jan. 11th, 2008 10:49 pmThank you everyone for all the get well wishes!!!
So while I ranted on LJ, my husband looked into whether we had been assigned a new primary care physician when the old doctor went off the plan. I should note now, I did plan to switch doctors as this doctor is a 15 minute drive from where we live and I know there are lots of doctors closer since we're only 1 mile from a hospital. (maybe less than a mile) and it seems stupid to drive so far just to see a doctor I was meh on to start with. (The old doctor doesn't seem to get the concept that being on your insurance plan is important. I could understand wanting the best doctor no matter what for say.. major surgery, cancer treatments, etc. but when it comes to things like a possible broken nose or a finger infection then ummm no, you just want someone on your plan. ~.~) So according to the insurance person, our new plan doesn't require a primary care physician so we can just go to anyone on the plan. Putting our addy in the system we picked the general practionier closest to where we live. lol (about 1/2 mile away) I called up and he was taking new people and let me come in that afternoon! I was really surprised because he was really nice, the nurses/receptionists working for him had a sense of humor and everyone was just so friendly. Plus he said I looked relatively healthy other than my cough <3 He examined my ears and said it had not developed into a full ear infection yet. I sort of figured that since I was only feeling discomfort rather than kill me now pain. But since I knew the week end was coming up, I didn't want to wait until Sunday to be in major pain. Rather than put me on antibiotics, the doctor put me on a prescription decongestant. This also won points with me because I hate taking antibiotics unless absolutely necessary. So now I have a new doctor, on my plan and only 1/2 mile from my house! <3
The pills do seem to be helping as the pain in my ear has decreased markedly and I'm definitely coughing less now.
When my sister went into NYC yesterday she bought me two cupcakes from Elenis! Cupcakes <3
In other happy news I got my imps from
twotone. I'm so glad I got them before I ordered anything from Possets. So far I am liking Kate but Id has a weird sandalwood maybe overlaid with the chocolate that just makes it too perfumey and strong for me.
So... I'm thinking of going to Japan in February to attend a Geass event. Am I insane? Should I tell myself I can't go until I scan at least 200 doujinshi to sell? I'm also thinking of offering my buying services to pick up Geass doujinshi from the event. I need to think on it.
