What a Day....I'm Exhausted

What a day!! My morning started out by taking my mom to the doctor which turned out to be a huge pain in the neck since she now has to see a new doctor. The other doctor she was seeing left so now she has been moved over to the other doctor. You would think that since they have all her records and it's the same doctors office that things would be easy....NOT!! This doctor wants to start from scratch and not just continue with things the way they were. Needless to say our normal visit turned into a long and annoying visit. The afternoon was a bit more fun as my daughter and I went out and got flowers to plant in my flower boxes. I know I'm a little late to the game since most everyone else has theirs planted already. Now it's time to throw some chicken on the barbecue while the dogs enjoy some outside time. It's too hot to cook a big meal so we're just having some grilled chicken and slicing it over a nice big salad. I'm really too tired to think much about cooking tonight so this is simple and easy. Summer temperatures hit too soon and it's almost 90 degrees here today. I'm exhausted as this day was busier than I'm used to.

Oh my, that's far too hot. Newly planted flowers will have to be tough to survive in that heat, won't they? Sorry about your mom's doctor, but I suppose he was just being thorough.

He was being thorough which I appreciate but we were there way too long and at 94 she gets tired and cranky easily

A couple of medical practices closed this past year. The doctors from those practices were hired by the local hospital to open new practices under the supervision of the hospital. The patients had to start from scratch. Had to have their records sent to the new practice. Needed to schedule a consult appointment. All in the name of money if you ask me. I did put the pots on the porch so I can place potting soil in them and put the tomato plants in the pots. I can see them from where I sit on the sofa. Too hot to move. The chicken I thought I was going to parboil and put on the grill is not happening tonight. I went out to switch the tanks and found that both tanks were empty. So, I made a pasta salad instead. Hubby is obviously working late. He will be grumpy when he gets home. I munched on some veggies and am drinking so much iced water that I am not hungry. So he will eat alone tonight. It is 83 in the living room right now. I am thinking I need to drag the ac's out of storage and get them ready to put in the windows. The temperature could reach 90 this weekend. Add a little humidity to that and it will not be comfortable. Hope it cools off in your neck of the woods!

@Corbin5 I try to watch out for my clients. So many of them are vulnerable to scammers. They get calls all day and often ask me to check their mail too so they don't fall victim to fraud.

Some doctors want to do their own exams to determine what is the appropriate action to take, yeah it can be a hassle but sometimes it is a good thing. I just fixed a Chef's salad and will have some more later on.

That's pretty much what is happening...this doctor wants to do his own exams and proceed with what treatment he feels is necessary

@Marilynda1225 That is the type of doctor i am impressed with rather than one that just takes the world of another doctor.

Its a hot day here too, and we both just heated up some leftovers to eat for supper. I ate earlier and my hubby is just sitting down at the bar in our family room now to eat, while we both enjoy watching the news.

At least your day got better as it went. We're just starting the gardening. Weather hasn't been cooperative to this point. Not abnormal in this part of the world.

What the new doctor is doing has a good and bad side.For one thing if we start again she will be able to find out some problems the other has missed.But most do it because we have to pay again for all those tests again and they get profits.But we have to go along with the doctor's opinion.

The warmer weather does make it harder to deal with many issues. Doctors should not be allowed to do that to our parents or to us-it very often seems a waste of time and money.

Yes, the hot weather is here - we had chicken also. I cook when it's hot, my house is kept very cook - you could make ice cream in my living room - just ask my husband! Hope today will be better for you. In a way I understand the doc starting from scratch. I had one doc for several years and when he took my bp it would be in the 138 range...never once did he suggest that it was too high. When we moved and I started at a new doc he not only went over my records, he did his own thing - turned out I should have been on meds years before, 138 was too high. I am glad he (and I) took the time to do it right.

That is a hot day for certain and a busy one too. Our high here was only 65 with no rain, so, very nice.

I can imagine that the doctor's visit was really tiring. And with such hot weather - no wonder you're exhausted. Hope you sleep well.
