Today's the day. After being rescheduled twice, I'm seeing the rude, problematic APN, again. [View all]

1:20 this afternoon, and only because the practice manager asked me to give this woman one more chance. My anxiety is already red lining so I'm taking everything I'm prescribed, before I go. Especially the 'as needed' because they are.

I really, really, REALLY hope this is a whole different experience. I really, really, REALLY hope she listens to me. My next therapy appointment isn't until Sept 15, although he said to call if I need to move it forward.

My blood pressure, which has been great, is now elevated. Let's face it, my BP elevates when they call to confirm an appointment. Yet they say that 'doesn't happen. I have decided that if she hasn't listened to advice (she was talked to about her behavior towards me, after that last appointment) and is as disrespectful and impatient as she was at that last appointment, I will cut it short and ask for the practice manager to call me. Honestly, all I expect is someone who is patient, respectful, and will listen to me

At least I have my paperwork with me - advanced directive, etc, so she won't have to threaten me with crushing my fragile, feeble body doing CPR (yes, she said that), should the need occur I sure wish I could bring Tudor along as my 'service animal'.

Anyway, as many good vibes as you can spare will be appreciated.
