Just whinging....

Saw the doctor to get an appointment to get an appointment to see the something or rather nurse to get another bit of paper so that i can go and see the diabetes educator for which i need another appointment to see the gp so that she can sign the paperwork before i see said educator.....Myotherapist in the morning, physiotherapist in the afternoon, gp on monday morning, endo on monday afternoon.....and I'm not even showing symptoms....
I have much empathy for all of the really ill people in the world. Being poked and prodded is seriously getting old! And they're all obsessed with my height and weight!!!!

Anyone ever read the Asterix comic where they got stuck in the Roman building of bureaucracy?.....

Do you mean you are too short for your weight?

That's a real pain!

I do indeed remember the Asterix comic and what you are refering too. It's like trying to make an appointment to see Major Major in Catch 22.

Stay strong, by endurance we conquer,

I'm thinking it would all go quicker if they just downloaded my vital stats from one point... I've been weighed and measured by four different people this week... they could always just ask me.
It's like some kind of weird ritual they all go through...

I can relate to exactly what you mean when i was first told I was diabetic scared me to death so to speak then my docter got to telling me she wanted a battery of more tests ran on me. then one day I got a call about an appointment for a sleep study which I have had two this year (now thats a pain in the rear) lol! all the run around and the docter telling me I have this underlying issue and that one which is contributing to my type 2 plus now I get to add the 20lbs i've gained as a result from using lantus since jan of this year so get ready cause its a never ending circle best of luck to you I hope you have really good nerves...................
