Be the Change

ah...

*gazes up at all that pretty snow*

Don't you just love that banner up there? I know I do! Makes me feel all toasty inside.

So I'm going to the doctor today because I have calf pain. I've read I'm supposed to take calf pain very seriously because it just might be blood clots.

When I made the appointment yesterday, a few strange things happened:

The receptionist asked what religion she should put on my chart. Why does that matter?

She also informed me that the doctor does not prescribe narcotics and she was required to let me know before I can in. She asked, "Is that alright?" First, of course it's alright. I don't even like taking ibuprofen (not that it helped this time anyway), but secondly, have you ever heard of this before?

I've never heard of a doctor not prescribing something! Makes me wonder if it's really he's not allowed to prescribe narcotics...

They also wanted records faxed from my normal doctor, but I don't have one. I'm a little nervous about doctors. Can you tell?


No takers on Christmas cards, huh? But it'd make me really happy to send you one, even if I don't know you that well. Maybe you all just don't like giving out your addresses. That's cool. I understand. Someone should start up a C-Note Christmas card list/group! I wonder if there already is one...

I'll let you know how the doctor thing goes.
