10 weeks

Well, it looks like I get to go to Westlock for my next appointment.

I refuse to go back to Cold Lake. The only way I'll go back there is if it's a complete emergency. And it's only 10 more minutes to Bonnyville, so it'll have to be a pretty big emergency.

But, since there is only 1 doctor accepting new patients (how can they justify that??) in Bonnyville, and she's booked until the end of December, I don't stand a chance of seeing her until January, and they aren't booking those appointments until the 2nd week in December. (And I'll be calling first thing Monday morning.)

So, since I'm back in Westlock next week anyway, and I like my doctor there, I'll see her for a check-up and then get things transferred to Bonnyville if I manage to snag a first appointment there. If I can get the first, the followup appointments should be fine, as they book those a month in advance. It's the first that's the trick.

I'm feeling slightly better this week. I am having good days and bad days, and the good ones seem to outnumber the bad. Or maybe I'm just being optimistic. I went swimming today during lane swim. It was so nice to get back in the pool. Hard work because I've been out of it for so long, but so relaxing and nice. I'm going to have to keep going. They have the perfect pool for what I want. Not like those ones that have the wading section in the one end. Those drive me nuts.
