Dr. Visit

My primary care doctor moved his office last winter. I'm sure I griped about how it took me 30 minutes to find it, since the (major) street it's on has almost no numbers visible.

Now it is practically across the street from a high school.

I had a 2:50 appointment.

What's my next gripe? If you said traffic you're almost right.

No, it was the presence of three vehicles with flashing blue and red lights right by the driveway.

I managed to get to the parking lot via a secondary entrance. I even found a parking spot a reasonable distance from the door.

The visit was relatively brief. He acknowledged that I did, indeed, have a pressure sore and wrote a couple of prescriptions.

Getting out of the parking lot and turned around to head back home was not as easy as getting in.

The flashing lights were still there. The road is two lanes each way with a middle lane neutral ground for "storage" while attempting to turn.

I decided to go a bit further down the road before doing the U-turn. Guess what's a bit further down the street? Another school--this one an elementary school.

Luck was with me--I was able to make a left turn into some store parking lot, then merge back into traffic going the way I wanted to.

(And I have a follow-up appointment at about the same time next week!)

The rest of the afternoon was relatively routine. I stopped at Walgreen's for the prescriptions. They were able to fill it before I even found the other things I needed to buy there.

I had added some water to the car radiator before leaving, and had no problems there. It still is unsmooth at low gears, but at least I no longer worry about being stranded. And I can wait till I've got more of a "record" on its eccentricities before I go back to the mechanic.

So--a basically blah day. And I hope the prescriptions work quickly.
