Well I guess I am. Yesterday we texted the doctor and told him we needed an mri. They scheduled one for 5pm last night. Next we said we want acupuncture, they said one of our doctors is an acupuncturist and would schedule the misses asap. Now I’m not sure but it seems as if I (or we) are deciding what treatment and tests to run and the doctor is going along with it. I know I didn’t go to med school, or stay at a Holiday Inn last night (a joke from a commercial if you don’t know what that means) but isn’t the doctor supposed to be directing the course of treatment? My Mom told me yesterday that doctors hate seeing patients with headaches as they can never figure out what the cause is. Well no more fucking around (excuse my language), I’ve taken charge and going all out to get this over. I called Dr. Corenemen’s office in Vail and will get the misses in as soon as possible. We’re looking at new beds as ours is “dead” with too many dips and valleys preventing the misses from getting a good nights sleep. I have told her to stay in bed most of the day as that seems to be where she gets the most relief and I will now approve any exercise she wants to undertake. Just call me Dr. D. Now if I could only get the paycheck that goes with that title. Is it too late for me to go to med school? That’d make a good news story wouldn’t it. Let’s see, I’d be 61 when I graduate, what do you think?
It was warm yesterday and I spent most of the afternoon driving kids and the misses around. It started at 2:30 when I picked the boys up at school and took the youngest and his classmate to d.i. Then the oldest and I went to the hardware store for some mothballs as we’ve seen some little moths around the house. (we put these in each room but had to throw them out 2 hours later as the whole house stunk!) Then it was home for 20 minutes and then back on the road to get the youngest at d.i. Then home for 30 minutes and we were off to the mri. We finally all arrived home at 6pm and forgot we had to make dinner. Luckily I had bought a pizza at the store that I threw in the oven while the boys played basketball or four square outside. Soon it was 7:30 and still light outside (due to daylight savings time) and time to get the boys wound down for bed. The misses and I stood in the kitchen and ate a salad in about 30 seconds for our dinner and I stole a couple of pieces of the boys pizza. At least with all this stress and stuff we’re losing a bit of weight by not eating! It’ll be good to get pass this and sit and eat like a real family again, we just can’t fit it all in right now.
Today the misses is getting her hair done as she needs a lift. I had cancelled her appointment last night but she decided she really wanted to get it done. She’s not feeling too good about herself these days so, as her doctor, I approved her request. Luckily it doesn’t cost us anything. Our anniversary, I think our 12th, is coming up in 12 days, wow time fly’s.
The youngest one just came down and I need to find something for breakfast so time to run. Ok, just made breakfast, err, went to Mc Donald’s. As a doctor, I can approve McD’s every so often. The misses is still in bed so time to now get the kiddos dressed. This doctor thing might just work out as it seems everyone is now listening to me. Funny, give a guy a title and all of a sudden everyone starts paying attention. I should have done this a long time ago. Maybe next month I’ll be a lawyer or a senator, let’s wait and see what challenges we face.
Hope everyone is doing well, we’ll keep you posted on any changes. Say a prayer that she gets better and that Denver signs Peyton Manning as our new quarterback! God Bless,
