Making Doctor's Appointments

I called today to finalize my surgery appointment.  The surgery is set for Thursday, May 31st 2012.  But I also scheduled THREE MORE appointments.  I have a pre-surgery lab appointment, where they take all kinds of tests to make sure I'm healthy enough for surgery.  I've also got to bring in all my medications in their original bottles.  I've got another appointment for two weeks post surgery, which is, incidentally, going to be my second day back at work.  (shhh, don't tell my doctor).  And yet another appointment for six weeks post surgery.

I've never had any kind of medical condition that called for this much organization.  Even the stress fracture in my foot only required two trips to the podiatrist.

And so it begins.
