Catching UP and Yesterday's Events

I'm trying to catch up on notifications. I got behind yesterday because we were gone most of the day. I had an appointment for an ultrasound for my thyroid. It was scheduled at the hospital in Brookhaven, which is about an hour away from me. There is road construction on the interstate to get there and it really had me running late. I called to let them know I would be 15 min or more late and asked if I needed to reschedule. They told me to come on in, no problem! Yay. We get there and walked up to the out patient desk and the gentleman told me to go to the next desk down the hall---that way with him pointing the way. We get half way down the hall and my husband asked me how does he know where to send you, he didn't ask? I just said EXACTLY!!! We get to the next desk and I told the lady I was there for a thyroid ultrasound. She informs me that I need to check in at the first desk. I told her he sent me here. She said, "I don't know WHY!!" She was clearly perplexed. We go back to the first desk and I told the man I needed to check in that they sent me back here. He said OH! So I told him what I was there far and he told me to have a seat in the waiting room. I told him that his ESP was really off today and had a seat. Yeah the smart mouth said something. I was tired of walking. My husband told me I didn't have to say anything. It was meant to be humorous. That's me--sarcastic humor!! We sat down and I finally got called to the office. I got all the insurance cards scanned, signed my consent paper. She asked for orders and I told her I didn't get any and that the doctor's office scheduled this and nothing was sent to me to turn in. She said, okay, I'll call them. I sit and several people get called back. Then I hear a conversation about this is the wrong fax number and they are not getting my request. It was MY paperwork. The girl in the back came back and gave her another fax number and my paperwork was sent right over. Thankfully, I did not have to reschedule. How was your day yesterday? Everything go smoothly?

it's tiring to walk and go back to where you came from. So I can understand it can't be help but say something. Lol! I had fun yesterday which does not happened all the time when everyone got caught with just work.

Good grief, they sure know how to slow things down, don’t they. I’m glad you at least got that settled. Yesterday went okay, I guess. I’m still dealing with pain from a pulled tooth, but at least it’s better.

Well, that sounds like a pain. Yesterday was going according to plan until my check engine light turned on again..grr. The place where I had it worked on several weeks ago told me it might do that..but I don't know if it is the same issue or a different one. I will have to go to auto zone and get it checked out. Always something!

What an ordeal for you to get that ultrasound done. Thank goodness you didn't have reschedule when the paperwork wasn't there.

Now a days for me, going to the hospital will be seriously troublesome. I don't even have insurance. I hope you have good result on that check up.

It's amazing sometimes how mixed up these departments can get.
