Doctors, no doctors, and getting out

Tomorrow I have a heart test. Day after tomorrow Bob gets to meet a gastroenterologist.
I am trying to wrap my head around all the appointments, and failing miserably.
There are more I need to schedule for me.
I guess my biggest concern is to get up and around tomorrow morning, to drive to a place I have never been before.
I have been past it, I am sure, but I have not had to get anything done there. Ditto for the Friday appointment, but it is later in the day, so I have more time to be lost.
Today we went out for lunch to a new place. Wendy's in Hillsboro closed down quite some time back and it has been empty. Some people have opened a diner there. Different menu but boy was it all so good. I think they make their bread from scratch.
Tomorrow after my testing we will go out to a German Restaurant. My brother and his wife will be with us. It will be fun.
Bob was glad to get out for no reason today.

I’ve had periods of time where it seemed like the only thing I did was go to doctor appointments. It’s exhausting

So thankful you can get out “for no reason.” Just leaving the house to see the doctor is terrible.

Praying that your and Bob's appointments go well. I have a ton of appointments, procedures and lab work to be done. I hate it too.

I know the feeling with dr appts, I have 3 main dr's
I have to see every so often & it can get crazy
trying to keep up with them all the time, Just take
time to relax & put every appt on the calendar &
leave 30 mins early so it gives you time to find the
place so your not late & if you get there early you
might just get seen early, that how I keep on track.

Running around hither, thither and yon can get tiring. Enjoy the German restaurant tomorrow. That sounds like fun.

How fun to try a new place. Bread made from scratch? What a concept. I saw a video the other day stating populars brands of bread that is not really bread. Yuck!

Doctor appointments are tiring. I'm happy when we can leave the house without going to see a doctor of some type.
I hope all your appointments are good ones and Bob is doing much better now. Keeping you both in my thoughts.

I hope you don't have too much stress finding the clinic. I'd love to eat in a German restaurant.

After all of this time of driving son to his appointments, infusions and transfusions, etc...I can really relate. I have had to go to other cities at times and wade through downtown areas to try to find certain offices, etc...thankful to have a directional guide, it helps a lot. It's all hard at times. Can you program directions on your phone? That might help.
