Screen This.

This is from yesterday (Tuesday):

So, I'm pissed.  I went into the doctor's office this morning at 8 am for my 18 week blood glucose screening.  I signed in, and sat down.  And waited.

And waited.

And I wrote a blog post about my weekend.

And waited.

And waited some more.

At 9 am,  I decided I didn't have time for this crap.  Supposedly, the regular lab tech was out on vacation, so the lab company was supposed to send a substitute.  Fine.  She hadn't shown up yet, or if she was there, she hadn't popped out to give me the sugary syrupy kool-aid to drink. 

I went to the receptionists desk (in another room) and politely asked to reschedule.  The receptionist kept insisting the tech was on her way.  Which is great, but I had planned to be out of there at 9:30 am this morning, and I was now guaranteed that I would be there until at least 10 am if I stayed for the hour-long test.  Anyway.  They receptionist got all snotty with me.  I know it's not HER fault the tech wasn't there.  She rescheduled me until tomorrow at 8 am, and I asked if the tech would be in tomorrow at 8 am.  The receptionist said that the tech should  be there.  Well, duh, the tech should have been there at 8 am this morning too, it's not that absurd of a question. 

I have a regular appointment with my doctor this afternoon (I know, I am totally going to get fired for all these appointments), and I plan on telling her how this went down.  I am PISSED.  How is this MY FAULT?  Some of us have to WORK, and don't have time to wait around the doctor's office all damn day.

Sorry, vent over.

This is from today (Wednesday):

I went back to the doctor's office a little before 8 am this morning for the glucose tolerance test.  Guess what.  As I was taking my seat in the lab waiting room, some one informed me that the tech wouldn't be in until 8:30.  

I am pretty sure whoever it was that spoke to me saw the smoke coming out of my ears.  I eventually spoke to the office manager, and expressed my concerns, mainly being that I had an appointment, and that I didn't really have time to wait around the office all day drinking syrupy kool-aid. 

I was polite, but firm, and explained that if this test was that important that I take it, the office manager will call me tomorrow and let me know if I should bother coming in tomorrow morning.  Then I left the office.  Because this really is ridiculous.

On the positive side, I am pretty sure this is one more chance for me to try to eat healthy today.  If I had taken the test today I would have failed.  Here's a list of things I ate yesterday:  Orange juice, Raisinets, Swedish fish, yogurt, bowl of Fruity Pebbles, bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats, large bowl of cookies and cream ice cream with chocolate syrup.  I literally did not eat anything yesterday that did NOT have an obscene amount of sugar.  Whoops.
