Monday of this week I met with my new/first endocrinologist for the first time, and had a spectacular appointment. She was a real sweetheart, and she actually has several of my friends as existing patients as-is. After meeting with her for an hour we realized we ended up chattering so much out of comfort that she forgot to ask a few questions by the end.. not that she really missed anything important.
ANYwho, as far as she was concerned, based on the letter from my therapist, everything was a go, and she was happy to have me as a new client!!! ***YAAY*** :D :dance:
I got my forms for the bloodwork, and the next day went to the local hospital and got poked proper. The conversation I had with the lab tech was kinda weird.. not every day you meet a heavily tattooed lab tech (who happened to have been inked almost entirely by the same guy to did all mine) who moonlights as both a PC/hardware/CAD-CAM programmer AND a RepoMan that owns his own business. Yeah.. Gentle as a kitten with the pokie too.. go figure.
Called the next day to inform the Endo of the lab work on the way and she just said great - you'll hear from us soon on the prescription stuffs! :dies:
Sooooo... that's that I suppose for getting the ball rolling in spectacular ways, though now I'm just waiting on the confirmation of the positive outcome on the bloodwork and then going back into the office to go over the use of, what I've been told was best, my new best friend Mr. disposable pokies... once a week or once every two weeks depending on my dosages (and/or in I can afford it) on top of the spiro in pill form. She basically told me that, if I had a choice and could tolerate & AFFORD it, that a shot a week would be in my best interests.. but I guess we'll see. She was very friendly with all the perspectives.. if I didn't like the pokie, then I could go with a pill - with the varied understandings of effects and so on.
:jump:
(Last thought though - as a consideration to my SO, while everything is thoroughly lining up to be in good order, I may take my scripts and set them aside for a few weeks immediately upon receipt. Her and I have busy lives, and she's going through some crazy rough patches with her health. We'll likely work through all that, stabilize, and then.. 3.2.1.... OW!! )
Here's to joining the crowd! :ch: :drink:
