Monday means Miscalculation
Mondays are already a mess, without any help. When I visited my doctor, she said “Set up an image study.” I said OK. Then I started getting a flurry of text messages from this scheduler, asking WHERE WHEN WHY. Then a tamer set, saying “Hey Man, no worries, here’s a URL that you can use to get yourself registered, and then we’ll call you to set up the appointment.” That’s my speed.
So I did.
Within a half hour or so, I get a phone call. Where? I told them I live in Elkton. I hear a short series of Hmmm noises, presumably while the scheduler looks for an imaging place near me…
So I throw a life line. “I also work in Towson, so anywhere near Towson would work too.” Kapow! “We have a lot of places around Towson, do you want Lutherville, Timonium…” I said, “Lutherville is fine. When do you have an appt that is soon?” How about the 28th?
OK, then the preparations: No food for 6 hours prior to the study/ No worries. I’ll eat after.
Then the confirmations come, and the confirmations say no food, no water (except a sip, maybe to take necessary meds).
I like drinking water, so right now is kinda tough. The no food isn’t as big a deal, somehow. Today is hot. I don’t want to dehydrate. So, I’ve been inside doing indoor work to save my “moisture.”
If I knew no food, no water, I probably would have scheduled for early morning…
Anyhow, it will work out! Have faith, Grasshopper!
