Frustration but not all bad
I was supposed to see the surgeon for a checkup today. I switched my port flush appointment from next week to today so I could do both the same day when I could get a ride from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mashfanficchick and zer mother, because they are going away for several weeks.
I couldn't see the surgeon today because I didn't have a referral. American health care, even with a really excellent health plan like mine, is insane. They tried to get a referral today but couldn't. So I had the port flush and saw the oncologist (I had referrals for that) but couldn't see the surgeon. I will see the surgeon when I go for the next port flush in six weeks. I got the notice I have the referral now. *sigh*
Anyway, I get ahead of myself. The day started with the BBFT meeting, which was good. I got up, ate breakfast and had coffee, showered and dressed. Then the meeting.
It ended early and I went and lay down for awhile. Then I went to go wait formashfanficchick and zer mother, and got a phone call that they were going to be late. Not their faults, I don't blame them, but frustrating anyway. I called the doctor and told them I was going to be late and they said it was OK, no problem, so that's OK.
Anyway, after the doctor we went for lunch, which I paid for as a thank you for them looking after Oreo while I was gone. We had poke and it was very good. We sat outside and lingered a long time just talking which was very nice.
Then I did some banking, and then they took me to my drug store where I picked up two of my prescriptions that were ready and tried to get another filled. They were out of stock for it, again frustration. They should have it Thursday. Luckily I have enough pills left.
Came home, and Skyped the FWiB. Very nice. Then I had my Al-anon meeting, which was good. After that I sent an e-mail to my management company about my lease renewal, meaning to attach a picture of the document to the email, but forgot to add it. I had to send a follow up email. Embarrassing and frustrating.
I called Oldest Brother for the third time, and then called the Kid. Both well.
So although I had some very nice parts to my day, I also had a lot of frustration.
Back to work tomorrow.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. The port flush went well.
3. My friends.
4. Poke.
5. My meetings and the people at them.
6. My pets.
