I had an appointment last Wednesday with the ENT specialist . About once a year I have to go get my ears unstopped. I had such a roaring in my ears and I couldn't hear anything. (Thanks Daddy I inherited this from you) I couldn't get an appointment for weeks but finally last Wednesday was the day to go. This wasn't an easy task either because it was at Baylor Hospital. You have to park in the parking garage and then you go across the street to the professional building. I saw they had valet parking. No matter what the cost I was going to get valet parking. The guy told me you get your number stamped it doesn't cost anything.
I went in to the doctors only to be told my doctor had not sent in the referral. Made me another appointment for Monday at 9:25. Meantime I needed to get my doctor to send in a referral. The valet guys got my car back to me and said I sure didn't stay long. I said, "Nope, but I will be back."
I tried to get ahold of my doctor only to find out she and the nurse were both on vacation. Another lady said she would do it so I believed her.
This morning I thought I would call and make sure the referral was there so not another wasted trip. When I called the ENT doctor the receptionist said it still was not there. I called my doctor. The nurse said to go ahead and make my appointment which was in 15 minutes. She would get it there. Off I went and I was two minutes late. (Not bad since it was close to downtown) . The valet man said, "Your back!" He remembered me .
The lady at the window checked and the referral was still not there. She said to wait a little while and see if they call. Then she said it had finally gotten there. I seen the doctor. Got my ears fixed for another year. He said come back in a year. So relieved it was over. My blood pressure is usually 120/60. it was 150/87. I do have anxiety around medical people.
Tonight I am hearing so good. I didn't know Tay was crying so loud. My own voice sounds so loud. So thankful I can hear good tonight!
