    Well, crap ....

    I had some bloodwork done and the doctor called to make an appointment to talk about the results, with the "nothing urgent" disclaimer ... and also she did not order repeats of my meds. I might be off my metformin and the others! Yay!

    Howsomever, I just now received a phone reminder of tomorrow's appointment. Either somebody wasn't clear the first time, or I misunderstood, because I was under the impression I was supposed to turn up in person ... but the phone message says it's just a phone appointment. This is disappointing because I had wanted to ask if she had the time to diagnose something that has come up in the meantime. I was looking forward to getting an answer tomorrow ... now it seems I'll have to make yet another appointment.

    Hope she can squeeze me in fairly quickly. The problem is more annoying than anything else but I really would like to get it dealt with ASAP.

    On the bright side, I can do this appointment in my jammies ...

          Just what a diabetic needs.

          Good luck with the Doc visit call.

            Seeing as how they're digital offerings, they are sugar and carb free. Besides, I'm diabetic too, so I need help getting rid of them. (Then I can go buy some more. For Mrs. IA.)

              Assuming the phone appointment is with the right doctor, is there any reason other than "I'm in your office now so you have to answer my question" that's stopping you from asking during the call?

              I find phone appointments with my slew of doctors go faster and have less waiting around, so we can usually talk about more stuff. YMMV of course.

                There's a place in the next town over from me where everything they sell is keto, gluten-free, and sugar free (no GI) (save for tea and sodas), including lots of baked goods. They use monkfruit as the sweetener. Surprisingly, it's actually good stuff Downside: A regular-sized cookie costs two bucks o_O

                  I can't say I adhere to a really strict diabetic diet so ... Not to mention I've just ordered two dozen cookies via a fundraiser (very sad situation: the woman's daughter has brain cancer .... ) I do keep my intake to a minimum, though ... these cookies will be 1-2 a day.

                  Alas, the doc says I will be going back on all 3 meds. However, I've not yet heard from the pharmacy -- they usually call when a renewal is ready. I'll be calling them tomorrow to see if they've heard from her.

                  It's some kind of weird skin condition so I'm pretty sure she'd have to take a look at it.

                  But there's no reason I couldn't have asked her about that and about my second shingles vaccine ... except I'd only just heard the day before that it was a phone call and not an office visit and so was more than a bit off-balance. When I go in to see her I'll make sure I have a written list of questions.

                    Yeah. I did get out there this past weekend and tired their sausage gumbo - it was quite good ^_^ Turns out their head chef is a New Orleans native.
