Is this only Tuesday?  It seems like it should be Friday at the very least.  This has been another one of those horrible weeks, and I do not see anything that will make it much better.   Sleep came in small bits and pieces last night.  Nightmares, flashbacks, and almost constant pain accounted for my staying awake a good part of the night.   I have been playing telephone tag with my doctor's office.  When I tried calling him, I did not expect to get one of those weird answering machines where first you push one button, and then when a human being does not come on the line, you are given a multiple choice of buttons to push before you are finally instructed to leave a message.  A few minutes later, a real live human being actually called me back.  I told her that I was having a lot of pain, and needed to get some more medicine from my doctor.    I was then told that I needed to have a written prescription, and that I would have to pick it up personally, rather than to have them phone it in to a drugstore.  It did not make any difference whether I was disabled are not, either I have to pick up the prescription or my sister does.  I finally said that I would pick it up myself.   There were a few things I wanted to get accomplished on Friday, and that did not include going to my doctor's office.  It is amazing how one small thing can throw off my whole day.   In about half an hour, I am going to see my physical therapist again.  This week I am seeing her on Tuesday and Thursday.  On Wednesday, I am seeing my psychologist, and now, thanks to my doctor, I am going to his office on Friday.  Doesn't that sound just peachy? NOT!   Quotes for Determination:   “Every worthwhile accomplishment, big or little, has its stages of drudgery and triumph; a beginning, a struggle and a victory.”   Ghandi
