I took yesterday off since Trinka and I both had doctor's appointments. Sweetie said, "So you're taking Trinka to her vet and then you're going to your vet?" Yeah, pretty much. My appointment was a follow-up to see how I'm doing on the Cymbalta. Answer: great. I don't know if it's noticeable here on the blog, but I am just feeling so much better: hopeful and strong as opposed to doubtful and weary.I also have an appointment with a plastic surgeon in October to get my boobs done. Kidding! I do have an appointment with a plastic surgeon, but it is to get some moles removed from face. Yesterday, I asked my doctor if I could get them removed out of vanity, but she said I could, and that maybe one of them should be biopsied. Then she sent me on way to make an appointment with the plastic surgeon who is in the same building. The woman I dealt with there was really nice. So often I find the office staff in doctors' offices are rude so I get really happy about dealing with polite, friendly staff. I would have to say that most of my doctors have pretty nice staff, but one time my GP was away and I had to go see another doctor, and his staff was totally snotty.Trinka's vet appointment went well, although of course, she was terrified about both the car trip and exam. The vet asked how she was doing, and I said great, but that she had been drinking more water than usual. So we decided a kidney screening was in order. The vet took Trinka out of the room for her blood test while I waited. They seemed to be gone for a long time. When they finally came back, the vet said her blood came out very slowly, and they tried to get Trinka to give a urine sample (I'm not sure how they do that), but that she wouldn't oblige. The vet also said her claws were "hooking" so they trimmed them. I said, "Did she hurt you?" (I mean, I hope the claws weren't hooking into the vet.) and she said, no, and placed her back in her cardboard carrier. Trinka is such a good cat. The vet is going to call me tomorrow with the results of the test. $165 later (!!!) we were done.Labels: doctors, the blues, Trinka posted by Miss Rachel 8/29/2007 09:10:00 AM . . .
