Doctors appointments

I ran out of my alendronate sodium last week, well, I took my last one last week. Monday was a holiday and Tuesdays are busy, so I waited until Wednesday to go to my GP to get a refill. I actually had been given my script by a different doctor, so this was a new one for me from my GP. I also wanted to be sure that my referral to my pain specialist - who I was going to see in a couple'a hours - was still good. It was. So, the new script picked up, I set off to see the other doctor. Now, my appointment with my GP was at 2:30, the pain doc at 4:15. I decided that this was a good time to drop off the roomie's blood pack for the transplant. I could've gotten to the pain doc much faster, but the package needed to be shipped and while I have taken it a few other places, my normal place was not terribly out of the way, if I took a slightly longer route. Despite taking my time and going a longer way, I was still way early for the pain doctor's. However, they were just so busy that they took me right in. The physician's assistant I saw - who is probably about 8 months pregnant - talked me into getting a cheek swab. This does a DNA analysis to determine what medicines will work or not work on me. In fact, I was out of the office before it was time for my appointment! That's how I like things to go. And, despite my age (62) and being morbidly obese, my blood pressure was excellent!
