I'm still alive

I am in a major fowl mood, but I'm here.

Come to find out a lot of my being tired/fatigue was coming from the sleeping pills Dr Shrink gave me.  Oh I slept at night with them, but I could hardly set up during the day.  So Dr Shrink changed me to another brand.  Last night was first night on them.  Didn't sleep really well but I thought it could be coming from nerves over having to see the ENT doctor today.  I'll give the new sleeping pills another night or two.

So I get up this morning and my HUGE tonsil's and I go to the ENT doctor.  Appointment was at 9:30 AM but as usual for me I get there a little early.  I don't get called into the back unto 10:00 AM.  Not a good start.  In the back I am kept waiting until 10:25 before the doctor walks in.  (oh yes the times are right, me and my Marvin the Martin watch kept in close contact!)  Dr ENT looks at my tonsil's, yup, they are HUGE, looks up my nose......she  (yeah a lady doctor) then says she is going to put this cottony stuff soaked in something up both sides my nose.  I am not thrilled.  But I allow this to happen.  She then LEAVES THE ROOM.  Wasn't in there 5 minutes with me.  I am looking at my watch trying to decide at what time I will walk out.  5 til.  That's it I am going to walk out at 5 til 11 if she isn't back.  Dr ENT cuts it sooooooo close and she walzes in at 10:56 AM.

Now the rest of the exam.  Looks up my nose again, got a deviated septum, little something or another up over there.  Anoids fine.

Dr ENT do you want us to do some blood work to make sure you are allegric to your cat, or dust, or blah blah blah.........Me:  you can tell with blood work?  Sure.

Ok........When is Dr ENT going to mention my tonsils again?...............I FINALLY say well what about my tonsils?  Do you snore? Yes, my mom has told me that.  How bad?  Huh?  Well why don't you go to your mom's house and take a nap and have her listen and let us know how bad it is.  If it's like a cat purr then no problem if it's really loud then we might need to take out your tonsils.

WHAT IN  (INSERT CURSE WORD/S OF YOUR CHOICE) KIND OF DIANOSIS IS THAT?  WHERE THE (CURSE WORDS HERE) DID YOU GO TO COLLEGE WOMAN?

So in about 10 days DR I DON'T HAVE A CLUE will call me and tell me about the blood work and if I tell her I snore like a freight train I guess she will want to operate.  BUT I DON'T THINK SO  I'm not going back to her. Never, no way, no how.

I called my medical doctor (the one that sent me to Dr wonderful) but I really didn't want to do the phone tag thing so I made up an excuse to get an appointment to see him.  I can't get in for another 2 1/2 weeks but I made the appointment while I sit here and decide on what I want to do.  I could see one of Med Dr's associates and try to work out another ENT to try -- but somehow that doesn't feel quite right.  It's like I'm going behind his back or something.  Or I could call and leave a message for him to call me and sit back until his nurse calls finds out what I want, then chase him down to see what he thinks and calls me back with a message that he will call me sometime?........ 

So I still feel rundown and sleepy.  Whatever Dr ENT put up my nose has gotten it to hurting now.  And I don't really know much of anything.  Well, I do think I used the wrong "fowl" up top.  How should I spell it?  Oh, who cares.............

I miss everyone of you guys.  I just haven't been on line.  I prefer the couch these days.

****oh, in case you are wondering I called mom and she said the last time I fell asleep on her couch I did indeed sound like freight train running through her living room.  See that's the best part about cats --- they won't tell you if you snore or not.  They let you believe you lay sleeping like a beautiful (and quite) princess..........(or is that why Maggie wakes me at all hours to be fed?  she's trying to get even at not getting a good night's cat nap in?  LOL)
