Medical Problems - Again

Friday, September 05, 2008 – 8 P.M.  I saw my doctor today because I have been having abdominal pain, and other medical problems, for about 10 days. He said I had some serious problems, namely, another urinary tract infection, and a colon infection. I am being put on two antibiotics for that. He also had some blood samples taken, just to rule out some other things. I am supposed to call him during this weekend, and see him in another month.   My physical therapist was supposed to have faxed him a progress report on the therapy I have been receiving, but he had not received it yet. Despite that, he wants my therapy to continue.   Because my doctor was running two hours behind schedule, my transportation (Access-A-Ride) came to get me, but left because I was not ready. When the doctor’s office called for them to come get me, the people at Access-A-Ride did not want to pick me up at all. The doctor’s receptionists kept calling the agency and tried explaining that it had not been my fault that I was not ready the first time. Access-A-Ride finally agreed to send someone for me. I wound up waiting three hours!   Having left home at 9:30 this morning, and not getting back until 4:15 this afternoon, I have used up most of my energy for today. I need to get some rest during the weekend.   Quotes for Character:   “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
