Dreaded appts

I was dreading two appts this week. The first was taking my dd to the endocrinologist because I thought the dr. was mad at me. Six months ago, dd and I thought that she said she would take her off one of the medicines she is using to treat dd with. So I didn't refill it. Then doctor calls 3 weeks later to say to leave her on it. I told her that I hadn't refilled it and then she said well don't bother then, I don't want her on it, then off it, then back on it in such a short amount of time.

So I go to the office thinking she will be snippy with me. Our appt was at 11:20. We got to the exam room around 11:45. Around noon, a nurse came in to apologize and say the doc was called to the hospital -- we could wait and they would give us dining cards to use at the hospital cafeteria or we could reschedule. Well, we were ready to get this over with so we decided to eat lunch and come back.

After lunch, we ran into the doc as she was coming back from the hospital and she was as apologetic and as nice as she could be. I told her that I understood getting called out on an emergency and it was fine. Well anyway, she was so nice through the appt and then the meds were decided upon and off we went. We go back in 6 months and then I think dd will be graduated to a non pediatric endocrinologist. Guess I should start researching them now and see which ones are on our insurance.

Dreaded appt #2 was this morning. Dentist. I don't mind the dentist, it's the hygienist that I don't like seeing. I should mention that she is a very nice person, but she pokes my gums with a sharp instrument and then says "oh my your gums are bleeding!" Well duh! They just got poked! But today she told me how much better they are since the last check! I've actually been brushing better! woohoo. They do some kind of measure on them with numbers of 1-5. Apparently 1, 2 and 3 are good...4 and 5 are bad. Well I had mostly 1's, 2's, and 3's with only a couple 4's. She said that was much better -- last time I had more 4's. So yeah me. Also, No Cavities or reasons to go back until next cleaning appt.

Then I had lunch with a friend and tutored her daughter on College Algebra!

Ready to go to work on my real tutoring job now.
