This and that again
A clerk from my Doctor’s Office called this afternoon. Yesterday’s blood tests reveal that I am NOT diabetic, but that there was a “slight impairment” in my blood glucose levels. The Doctor recommends that I stick to a low carb, low sugar diet, and repeat the tests in three months.
There is a bonus. I have already lost more than 5lbs in weight since taking up a new diet two weeks ago.
===================================================
Not so good from my Dentist. Last November I had a root canal. A few days later my Dentist removed the temporary filling, and replaced it with a permanent one.
I was at his office last Wednesday for some fillings on other teeth. I saw another Dentist who inexplicably removed the permanent (November) filling, and then filled the tooth again.
I asked about this. No apology. No explanation. I simply got my money back. I think that I should find a new Dentist!
=======================================================
Friends Lisa and Susan in Atlanta sent me a decal for my car. You can see a photo’ of it here!
======================================================
Our local NPR station just announced that one of its satellite transmitters would be down for maintenance tonight.
“It will” the announcer said “be in use again tomorrow at 5:00 a.m. in the morning”.
Funny, I had never thought that we could have 5:00 a.m. in the afternoon.
=====================================================
I had my blood tests at “Quest Diagnostics”.
In the waiting room there was a sign which said
“For the courtesy of our patients” (what ever that means)
No smoking (understandable)
No cell ‘phones (I get that)
No eating (that’s understandable)
No public restrooms. (wait a bit!).
Does that mean that there is no place for me to pee in the office? I needed that place when I gave an urine sample a few weeks ago. I am glad that I was not required to fill the cup in the Street!
And if I have to stay in the waiting room for two hours (as was the case last Thursday), what do I do if I am taken short?
Am I, or am I not “public”?
============================================
Quest Diagnostic’s office is in a three story complex with a central courtyard. There is an elevator ( a lift), and stairways.
At the foot of the stairway is a sign which reads
“Consult your Physician before using stairs”.
These stairs? Any stairs?
Should I call my Doctor every time I encounter stairs?
===========================================
That’s the way it is today!
