Happy Valentines Day!

 

The main news this morning is a large influx of inclement weather.  Before two o'clock this afternoon, we are supposed to have between four and seven inches of new snow. smiley-frown.gif  I have already had to cancel my appointment to see my psychologist, as well as my ride to get there.  The sidewalks are covered with snow and it is impossible for me to even get down to the parking lot. 

 

There was a strange occurrence in my apartment during the night.  I suddenly awakened around 4 AM because my bedroom light was turned on.  I always sleep with the light turned off.  I use a floor lamp in my bedroom, which is turned on and off just by touching it.  No one else was in my apartment, thankfully.  I still do not know how the light turned on unless there were some ghosts prowling around. smiley-undecided.gif  lol

 

Today, or tomorrow, or Saturday, or Sunday, I have a million forms to fill out before I go see an orthopedic surgeon on Monday.  I am very tempted to just cancel my appointment, but if I did that, my primary care physician (not to mention my family) would really get on my case.  Because I have had 15 operations during my lifetime, I have a very strong fear of surgeons.  I am going to have to force myself to keep this appointment.  If it were not for the accident I had in December, and all the pain that I still have because of that, I would definitely not be going there at all.

 

I am still a little upset about having to go to downtown Denver yesterday.  I think that having to put up with that many buses, and that many people, were just too much for me to handle.  I have talked to one of the people who helps me, and whom I can trust, about her going to my bank for me in the future.  She does this for another person she helps, so I think that it will work out if she helps me as well.

I, too, hate going to doctors and I\'m phobic about dentists. If I didn\'t push myself through all that anxiety, I would never get medical treatment. I can\'t stand pdocs either. Hugs, Dancer.

As badly as I want to cancel my appointment on Monday, I know that I will force myself to go there. My sister has agreed to go with me, but I do not know whether that will be a help or hindrance.
