Whew...is today over yet?

It's been one of those days! Besides crazy work stuff that I do not go into here, I had a doctor's appointment today. The appointment itself was fine and normal. I left work in normally adequate time just to find that the slow and steady rain of earlier was now monsoon-like and flooding everywhere. The drive down York Road was quite fun.

I got to the office and signed in. After waiting for about an hour, I finally got called back and could finally pee! I hadn't eaten yet so my tummy was GROWLING! A half hour more passes before the doctor finally got to me. Apparently, he was really backed up but he was still the chattier of the doctors so he just kept getting further and further behind. But, he's perfectly happy with my progress. He told me that I passed the glucose test with flying colors. My number was 98 and the cut off point is 140. So, that was very good news, especially since diabetes runs in my family!

After we were done, I made arrangements to set a date for the delivery. I'm waiting now to hear back from the receptionist, but hopefully it will be Monday, June 15th. I tried to get it for June 12th, because the 12th of the month is pretty common in my old group of friends for birthdays. However, the person on call that day is the nurse practioner and she doesn't do scheduled deliveries. Oh well!

So, after the appointment, I had to stop at McDonalds, the only food place on that part of York Road, to get something to eat. I shoved a large order of fries in my mouth on my way back to work, spilling a quarter of them on the floor when I hit the brakes a little too hard. The tea that I got was filled almost to the very top with ice so I had maybe four good slurps of actual tea.

All in all, I was very stressed by the time I got settled back at work. My blood pressure was awesome at the doctors...it could have been considered high after getting back to work!

Now it's time to start kicking into planning mode. :) I'm getting excited!

Well, that was the first time that I had a wait like that. Very few times have I had to wait more than five minutes to go back. Maybe a little bit longer once in the room, but never this bad!
