So Friday found me on the road to see my new Primary Care Nurse Practitioner.
To say she is lovely, warm, efficient and the only medical professional who has ever treated me would be an understatement. Amy is all of those things and more.
I went in with a list of 5 problems I am having, and she went down the list and seriously addressed each and every one of them!
Finally! A medical professional that actually listens to me and is striving to get a handle on everything.
By the time I left her office, I had prescriptions for a UTI (yes, again), an appointment to have an MRI, and a knee x-ray. There were other things I needed her help with and she was so glad to help me.
The ride home for me was really busy. It was bumper to bumper from our tolls on route 93 north. This lasted for probably 15-20 miles. I wasn’t at all surprised because it’s a holiday weekend and everyone is coming up to go to local fairs and others to close up their summer camps.
I stopped to pick up my mail at the Post Office, only to find my little town in all stupidity has blocked off several more parking spaces. Now they have blocked any space for the disabled to park close enough to the building. Isn’t that against the law? It infuriated me.
A woman I know was defending it because a woman was killed in the crosswalk a few years back. I am sorry for this. But, it was a series of tragic events that led to it.
First, the woman was reading the mail in her hands and not looking as she crossed the road. The teenager who hit her was using his cellphone to text.
You get the picture. It was a rather unfortunate series of events. And now, now it’s making it difficult to get into the Post Office for most people. It’s making a local shipping store (which also has mailboxes) look better and better.
I came home to Lili who greeted me quite happily, and Jack, who was already eating his lunch.
All in all, Friday was a major success!
My mother’s constant complaint about medical people is that they won’t listen to her. A bigger problem is she won’t listen to them and take their advice and treatments.
I think a crosswalk is protected pedestrian crossing and cars must stop and give way to pedestrians. The mail reading woman was not at all at fault, although a bit foolish.
