Wellll....I made it back home, finally.
We gave ourselves an hour to get there....traffic was kind, and we arrived at the Cancer Center a half hour early (for my early check-in time, that is). Got signed in in just minutes. 5 receptionists, no waiting, almost. 😉
Plenty of time before my lab work, then? Or was it because we went to the Cafe first.....the minute I sat down with E, my buzzer went off...the lab called me in early. Unheard of. Got back to the cafe and my mocha had cooled down. Tasted better piping hot. So E & I took our drinks to the appropriate waiting room. An hour's wait ahead of us. An hour and 15 minutes later I get buzzed to get my stats taken...that killed about 10 minutes. Poor nurse looked really beat. Another hour passed before they had an open exam room for me. So I waited in the exam room another 30 minutes. Aren't iPads handy for these moments? The doctor's head nurse came in, read my lab report to me, all looked good, except PT/INR. (But I missed taking my pill a few nights ago....doesn't often happen. So that rides for 2 weeks and I get poked again.). She and I made a lot of progress talking about everything I needed to.
So when I made my next appointment, I made sure it was with her again! Yeah!!! 👍
