I went to my doctor appointment at the VA today. I’m not going to bitch TOO much because it’s all better than it used to be and also… free.

Parking sucks. Wandered the parking lot for 7 minutes waiting for someone to getthefuckout leave. I was early (of course) but got right in to the BP/weight screener and fairly quickly into the Dr.  She’s new to me as my old Dr. Monte apparently went part time. I really like her. She listened, went over all my history thoroughly, and set up a bunch of stuff. Something like she didn’t know 0f any meds I could be taking that I wasn’t already so I should go back to the specialists in Pulmonary. Peachy.

I mentioned I’d tried to lose weight by altering my diet but it’s impossible to move as one needs to move to get exercise. Especially now, but even when my breathing was better I still couldn’t exert myself without guppying. So I’m scheduled for another visit to the nutritionist next week and from there I’ll join a class ingeniously named Move. We’ll see.

She said my BP was fine yet when I checked out the front guy sent me down for a home BP monitor. He also sent me to radiology for an ultrasound and they turned me away – they’ll call me. And he sent me to get an H1N1 shot (mission accomplished) and to Well Woman. So I sat outside that clinic for an hour before the baffled nurse came out and explained to me that I didn’t need an appointment until JUNE. That’s what I thought!

All that and I’m still not breathing normal. Better today than yesterday because it’s NOT RAINING but still not right. I have labs ordered and need to fast, so probably next Thursday as long as I have to be there anyway.

I guess I just sit here and wait for pulmonary to call me?
