Following Through

Well, it took me a week to finish, but I've finally scheduled all of the appointments I need to catch up on my routine medical visits.

Turns out that I haven't been to the endocrinologist in almost a year, which shocked me. It's possible that he doesn't need to see me as frequently as I had thought (3x/year is what I remembered), but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be more than an annual visit. At the very least, the dosage on my medication needs to be checked more often than that.

I also remembered one other thing for my medical to-do list: a flu shot. It's not so much that I need one (as I did when I was going through treatment)—it's really to reduce the risk that I'll pass anything along to my dad, or be barred from visiting him for however long it would take me to recover if I did come down with the flu.

I'm having a full physical tomorrow morning, so I should be able to get one then.

Another needle—fun!
