9:55-- actually talk to appointment staff, find out today's 10:00am appointment was not even scheduled at the Endocrinology Clinic in Bethesda, but was scheduled as a primary care visit at Andrews, so even if I was at the clinic in Bethesda I wouldn't have an appointment to see the doctor I need to see

Sometimes life is just like that. I hope your hot chocolate was yummy!
ReplyDeleteI think the wrap up on that one was perfect. Somedays you just have to go back to bed. I'm so glad you could. Sounds like things worked out fine :)
