Got my package
So, my phone rings randomly (it rarely rings at all, usually it's my mum or best friend calling) and it's Canada Post saying they've got a package for me. It's my Amazon order containing the LH and HCG strip tests! Well finally! I've only been waiting for it since it was sent out on the 29th, I know Easter weekend messed things up, but I've been tracking it and laughing at how stupid the delivery company has been. It was sent from Illinois to Quebec (having to go past my city!), then from Quebec to Mississauga (again going right past my city!) and then finally was delivered today! It would have made more sense to send it to Mississauga first and then on to me, much less wait time and less back and forth for everything. Oh well, I have it now, and a week or so before I actually need it, yay!
I also got a letter in the mail from the counseling services my doctor referred me to. It's a copy of a letter sent back to my family doc stating that his referral has been forwarded to another service that will be able to see me quicker, so I'm back in the waiting game for that. But, after looking at the locations of the two services, the one that the referral has been forwarded to is easier for me to get to, so that's always good. What I don't get is the wording of the letter. The one paragraph says "The care of patients with acute/recent onset mood disorders, as well as of those who have a primary diagnosis of anxiety disorder....". I haven't been officially diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, why mention that as well? Maybe it's just a notice to my family doc, but I don't see why it was mentioned unless he thinks I have one, but just didn't say anything to me.
Yes, I think I have an anxiety disorder, especially since my mum's been diagnosed with one and I have roughly the same symptoms as her but to a much lesser degree than her. I don't recall mentioning feeling anxious to my family doc, I'll have to talk to DH and see if he remembers me mentioning it, since he was at the appointment too.
Either way, I'm glad I'm hearing SOMETHING about the counseling referral. It's been agonizing waiting for word, especially with all that's going on with my brother. I'm definitely going to need to see someone before June. Hopefully I'll hear from this other place soon!

I wish you all the best.. I too ordered test strips from Amazon..
We have really funny delivery stuff around here too. We can get stuff from out of state faster than we can get stuff from a town that\'s in state and 80 miles away. Seems stupid to me. But glad you got the stuff - I hate dealing with the LH strips but they are a necessary evil. And glad to hear that the counseling is moving forward.
Thanks ladies! This is the first time I\'ve had any delivery funkiness, which is why I find it so stupidly funny. As for the LH strips, I\'ve never used them before, but I wanted to know before the blood tests on d24.
