Doctor visit gone awry!

Most of you know that my honey has been really sick.  In fact, he was in the hospital for 40 days.  Several of those days were spent in ICU.  During this whole adventure with him, there were moments,  times, well maybe days that I kinda, sorta neglected to take care of myself.  I stayed in the hospital with honey and was very lax about taking my daily medications.

Well, all of that caught up with me. 

My doctor is very sneaky, good about refilling medications.  He will hold them hostage until you make an appointment for either a visit with him or with his resident vampire (AKA lab lady).  I had to go in last month to get my scripts refilled.  Everything was off.  Some stuff was high, some was low and some was just off the charts.  I was only given meds for one month and today had to go back and visit the vampire again.

I arrived promptly at 7.  There was a woman and two guys ahead of me.  They called "Cynthia" and I started to get up.  So did the other lady.  I sat back down thinking that she was there first so it had to be her appointment.  Both guys were called back and then they called for me.

I went back and the nurse had me weigh.  I asked if there was a new procedure as I was only there for lab.  She grinned and said something that I could not hear understand. Then  she took my blood pressure, temp and the finger thingy.  I still was asking what was the new procedure.  Again, she mumbled something and smiled at me.

We walked back and instead of turning towards the lab, she was leading me towards the examine rooms.  I stopped and grabbed her arm and said (very politely).  WHOA!!!  You are lost.  I am going for lab!  She said " Aren't you Cynthia"  Yes, I am.  " Cynthia M****...right" NO, I am Cynthia E*******.  She then looked at me and said "no  you aren't, you are Ms. M***".  I told her I knew who I was and turned around and went to the lab. 

The other Cynthia was sitting there.  When I came up, she asked if I were Cynthia too and I told her I was when I walked in, but I had no clue who I was now.  She said that she was here for an examine with the doctor and they would not listen to her and were trying to get her to see the vampire.  She then left with the nurse. I shouted out to be sure she had them erase my weight and BP as I was pretty sure I weighed more than her.

I sat down outside the lab and waited for the vampire.  When she came out and said "Who are you?" I told her Cynthia and she told me I was not Cynthia. Good Grief, here we go again!   I have never spent so much time trying to tell people who I am!

I finally got into the lab.  I would not let them draw blood until I knew they were testing for the right stuff. 

The way this whole trip turned out, I may get a call Monday for Roberta telling her that she is pregnant!
