Patience or Tolerance

The barium experience was much easier this time. After my second CAT scan a nurse gave me a good hint. I was told to drink the barium with a straw. Using a straw sends it to the back of the throat when you swallow. It doesn't sit on your tongue and coat your whole mouth. It really made it much easier. Too bad no one told me prior to the first two tests. It would have saved a lot of puking and stress. It's in my mind, but there is just this thing about putting something slimy in your mouth and white is even worse. I gag just thinking about it. Anyway, I'm just glad that's over.

In the afternoon I went for lab and my doctor's appointment and was informed my appointment was on Friday. I know this (for a change) was not my misunderstanding. I even asked the nurse why I would be coming to see the doctor before my appointment with the urologist. It made sense to me that the doctor would want to see the urologist's report before he saw me. So the nurse went to speak to someone about it and came back and told me it didn't matter which order I saw them in. You would have thought she would have said you are seeing the urologist first if she had told me the doctor appointment was Friday. Anyway, I have screwed up my appointments several times so this time I wrote down exactly what she told me. It isn't a big deal but it seems like I'm the one who always has to say, "maybe I made a mistake" but you never hear them say it might have been their mistake. Do I sound like my fuse is running short? Not really, but this is what happened. I have a huge amount of patience but....
