The older Asian couple moved in next to Andy yesterday. He says they are very likable. Let’s hope they stay that way for his sake. Bob and Virginia are likable too… until one of them breaks out the saw and hammer. 

Went for my bike ride after 9pm and froze my ass off until my body warmed up, even though I had a T-shirt on instead of a tank. I should have worn sneakers instead of sandals. 

Tom had no luck calling doctors yesterday, but today he had a rather weird experience with a potential female primary care doctor when he called her office. He was asked to give information about me. Meanwhile, the doctor will get back to us by the end of the week as to whether or not she decides she wants me as a patient. Really? I didn’t know they “decided” that. I know they could dump anyone that might make them really uncomfortable for any reason, but I thought they pretty much took whomever they could fit into their crazy schedules. Tom didn’t mention my levothyroxine side effects cuz he was just so caught off guard by the questions. 

Even funnier was that he was told that if she decided to take me, it wouldn’t be till late October. LOL, that’s nothing, he told the nurse, secretary, or whoever it was he talked to. Everyone else (but the male Middle Easterner) can’t see me till between December and May. 

Meanwhile, Tom’s going to see if he can see Mr. Mideast instead. It’s been years since he’s had a check-up, something I’ve been on his ass to do, especially if he thinks he may have an even worse case of hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, or anything else. I know I couldn’t drag him by the arm and make him see anyone, so it’s a relief to know he’s willing to do this on his own. He doesn’t care that the doc’s a guy or that he’s Middle Eastern. I think men in general are far less picky than women when it comes to what doctors they see. I just hope my worst fears are never a reality and that would be him acquiring anything terminal or debilitating. I’d rather be told I had cancer than hear that about him. But if he’s got something that can be fixed or helped, it would be nice to know. 

For now, Doc Hottie is still on standby until and if any changes are official and definite. Oh, how I’m going to miss her! I really hope she accepts the Facebook friend request I plan to send once she’s no longer officially my doctor. According to the current code of ethics I read, it used to be a no-no to either date or befriend former patients, but now it’s acceptable. So it will be up to her and her own personal choice whether to accept or deny the request. 

The “lump” in my throat is mostly gone, but yesterday I was getting random subtle waves of an anxious-like feeling in my throat and the top of my head if that makes any sense at all. Today’s been fine, though I think I need to bring it up less often when I do feel it. It seems to really frustrate Tom at times. Before work yesterday he threw his hands up and was like, “So what do you want to do?” 

I don’t know what to do, I told him, or else I’d be doing it!
