I want to the doctor today.
The office called me some weeks ago and said that I was on a list, and would I please make an appointment to be seen ASAP? Fine, I replied, even though I put off calling as long as I could. Nothing good ever comes of me going to the doctor. My usually low blood pressure skyrockets, I get harassed about my weight, and questions about my sex life feel ridiculously intrusive. Today, though...
Today, other than my blood pressure skyrocketing ("Are you under stress?" she asked. "Uh, I'm here," I replied.) I was pronounced "appears to be physically healthy" pending lab test results, given a flu shot, and sent home. Funny, because for once, I had questions I wanted answered, and they went ignored.
I didn't even get a happy face sticker or lollipop for being a "good girl."
