Doctor Day

 One of the things I hate most about adulting is scheduling doctor appointments. And going to doctor appointments. I guess I'll learn how to do this better.

Today was another day of doctors. 

This morning I had my annual check in with my "sleep doctor". I have sleep apnea and use a cpap when I sleep. Every year I have to check in so insurance will still help with paying for the cpap machine and parts. yay. Nothing has changed there.

Then I had my first MRI. 

Spring fashion is HERE folks! 

Ha. Don't forget your mask. 

MRI's are weird. And my life is weird in that I appreciated the 30 minutes of nothing to do but think. Yes, the machines are loud, but the noises were surprisingly melodic. Full of rhythm and pitch. Or maybe my mind is just totally overtaxed. That's totally possible.

And my third stop of the day was for my first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine. My newfound cancer status made me eligible in Utah guidelines for an qualifying underlying condition. Yay? Silver lining? 

And I'm over here still feeling grateful for the position I am in. Grateful for the flexibility to take time out of my day to do what I needed to do. Grateful I have insurance. I'm still panicking about how we're going to pay for the out of pocket maximum that I know we'll hit, but I guess we'll figure that out. And grateful for science. For early detection, treatment options, and knowledgeable doctors, physicians, and nurses.
