Yesterday morning I'd called the doctor's office to make an appointment for today for an office visit & get tested for Lyme's. To be honest, I really didn't want to go. Why? I'm uninsured & can't always afford going to the doctors or even pay for medications.
I keep the appointment & arrive 10 minutes early so I could update my file. After filling out what feels like 1,000 pages I return the paperwork. I waited for almost 35 minutes PAST my appointment before I go to the receptionist. At this point, I'm miserable. My cold had gotten worse - my nose was dripping uncontrollably & my eyes were red & puffy.
After sitting back down, I wait another minute before I get called. The nurse does her thing of checking my pulse, temperature, etc. I do my best to NOT breathe on her since I wasn't sure if I had a cold or a sinus infection. She leaves & in walks the doctor. Holy shit! He looked JUST like my neighbor's hottie of a nephew, Matt. The good doc & Matt are NOT related. Oh well.....at least my doc is still pretty damn luscious!
In order to check my asthma, I had to change into one of those ugly gowns. The doc didn't leave while I changed so he ended up getting a good look at my 40 D chest. His eyes got as big as saucers, I shot him a dirty look.
He checked my lungs to see if my asthma is under control - which it is. He did mention he heard a little chest congestion. So he checked my ears...my right ear is fine but my left is a little red & inflamed - early stages of an ear infection then proceeded to my throat - a little red. He finally checks my nose. Both nasal passages are red, inflamed & showed that I had a full blown sinus infection. Freaking great.
