I'm headed back to Oak Street Health, this morning. Wish me luck.

Now, normally a 'wellness visit' is lab work and exam, all in the same day. That didn't happen last month. All that happened was me being traumatized by a callous APN.

Short update: After the nice phone call from their practice manager, to find out what happened that made me so upset, she said they'd have a talk with the provider and did ask if I'd agree to see this her one more time. Turns out she WASN'T the MD I saw before. Both are young, attractive, dark haired Mediterranean women (both are of Italian descent) and I'd only seen the MD once and that was a brief visit. In my anxiety I got confused. It would have helped if she had actually introduced herself. She is an APN.

But I digress. Today's visit is for the lab work that should have been done on June 7. Then I'll be seeing her, again. Not sure if this is for the wellness visit but I'm assuming so. Then I go back in a week for a routine EKG, although I might reschedule that. I'll see how this visit goes. Two doctor appointments in a week is a bit overwhelming.

So yes, I'm really in a high state of anxiety, right now. I'm trying to time taking my medications so that they will be in full force when I get there.

The practice manager promised to call me, tomorrow, to see how it went. If I am still uncomfortable, they will reassign me.

Oh, and it's going to be in the 90s today. I'll turn on the AC before I flop into bed to recover.
