Well...I did it again!

I have been waiting for this appointment since before I got out of the hospital. I was told at that time that it was to discuss treatment options, but they keep telling me it is for a "1 week surgical followup" even though I have a "2 week surgical followup" the next day at the surgery clinic. I will see what happens. Talk to you later.

Sorry that you are having to deal with that. Doctors offices can be very confusing. They aren't as good at business situations as they think sometimes and make mistakes on appointments. One time my son had a dentist appointment and I wrote it on the calendar as soon as she called to tell me about it and I went on that date she said that it already happened I needed to reschedule an appointment. What was upsetting is I was waiting there for a while before the lady at the counter told me and you have to wait a long time for an appointment. This happened a lot after that new receptionist got there and it never happened before. I was very frustrated but I didn't want to get too much of an attitude even though I felt like it when it happened another time but I didn't want them to refuse business to me later on.

I do not really live that far from you, just a little over 300 miles,southwest, and we are having a lot more than flurries. From reading this discussion it sounds as if there is a lot of confusion about your appointment tomorrow. I hope you do not have to go far and that you can go tomorrow and that your brother goes and gets his questions resolved.

It sounds like we will have flurries tomorrow, but it is hard to tell what that means. I hope that it doesn't amount to much because I don't want to delay this any longer. My brother will be taking me to the appointment, but I don't know if he will be in there while I am with the doctor or not. He knows the questions he wants to ask and I would rather not be a go-between to give him the answers.

I think that would be very frustrating and embarrassing! How did you find out you were in the wrong place? How long did it take you to get to the right place? Hopefully, it didn't happen too many times. Have a great day and thanks for the response!

When the assigned professor of the room started writing on the board about stuff not related to the subject I was expecting, I quietly made my way out of the room and took a look again at my room schedule.

I hope I don't go through it again either. I now have a pen, but it is by the bathroom sink so I can mark where to cut the skin barrier on my ostomy bags. Maybe I need to either move it or get another one. Talk to you later.

I don't think I would like to have to take a train to get to appointments. I don't even like to go to the doctor. But I guess it is better than doing nothing and potentially dying. It sounds like you had a hard time of it. Thanks for letting me know. It really does help.

I think the part that bothered me the most was the fact that I went the whole week thinking the appointment was on Monday and finding out that it actually was on Wednesday. I did get it written down this time so maybe I won't get it wrong again. I also found out this morning that I missed an appointment at social security for my disability application. Now I have another 8 days to get ready for that. Hopefully I won't forget this one. Talk to you later.

I noticed that what you responded to was from two years ago, but that's ok. Better late than never, especially when the topic is timeless. I found this past week the same kind of thing happened. I had an appointment at the clinic at 8am and I went through the week thinking it was at 10am and I was even late for that. Fortunately they got me in anyway so I got seen and they gave me some antibiotics to take care of some infections that came up. So far, it looks like I won't need any more chemo...at least I hope not. Have a great weekend!!!
