I am in the middle of a week off work! \o/
I've had headaches or migraines for most of the time so far, not helped by a doctor's appointment I had yesterday, but I'll talk about that more in a minute.
I went to Bury with my sister in law on Tuesday, and we mooched around the charity shops, as that was the reason for going. I found myself some CDs, as well as a book from 2004 about artist journals that could easily have been published today, because the content is very similar to stuff I see online and in more recent books.
Anyway, I had a good time, and me and my sister in law agreed that we ought to do this sort of thing again.
Then yesterday, I had two outings that easily both could have been phonecalls. One was for in work support, which is fine, but there's not a lot they can do for me right now (and why it could have been a phonecall instead of an hour each way bus trip for a ten minute appointment).
The other was a doctor's appointment, which I will put under a cut because there's a bit of explaining to do.
So a couple of weeks ago, I got a missed call from the doctor while I was at work. I tried calling back during my break, but I didn't have enough time to wait on hold to speak to someone. So I had to leave it and, because it was a Friday and they don't open at the weekend, call back at the start of the next week.
Which I did. And the nice lady I spoke to booked me an appointment, and said it was to do with some blood test results I'd had. Which surprised me, because everything's been fine up till now.
However. I made the mistake of looking at the results as they are available to me on my online account. And one said I had a mild problem with my kidneys, which of course I then went and looked up online, and promptly scared myself.
So the whole time waiting till the appointment, I was subconsciously worrying about it, but also trying not to, and trying to think why that result would occur. I had had a bad cold when the last bunch of bloods were done, which could explain why that result occurred, as it is related to dehydration and, sorry for the TMI, but I pee A LOT when I have colds.
ANYWAY.
I get to the doctor's, and the receptionist tells me he's running a bit late.
Friends, I was there for an hour before I was seen. AN HOUR.
I know they can't help it because shit happens, and there's only so many doctors in the surgery, but ffs.
And you know what the problem was? It wasn't my kidneys at all. The doctor showed me all my results on his computer screen, and said that none of them were a cause for concern. What he wanted was to check my vitamin D levels, as it's a year since I was prescribed supplements, and he wants to add that to my next round of blood tests.
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A PHONECALL.
I waited an hour, for something that could have been resolved over the phone.
Anyway, then I was so knackered from all the to-ing and fro-ing and worrying that I literally came home, ate my tea, and then went to bed.
And then it was today.
Not a lot has been going on otherwise, aside from work, which is continuing to go okay, and I'm still chipping away at Persona 5 Royal (wherein I want the main storyline to be done so I can go ???? at the new content), and that has been my life more or less for the last few weeks.
