Doctor's Note

billroperMy schedule of medical appointments of all kinds is starting to become absurd. I just got through with a couple of dentist visits, which were minor. On Friday, I'll see the optometrist and will, with some luck, get a new contact lens prescription that I will like better than the current one.
I have cleverly scheduled a colonoscopy for Cubs' Opening Day on April 1st, so I will be missing that event this year. To add to the fun, I'll get to fast and prep for this on Easter Sunday.
And now I have lithotripsy scheduled for May 13th, which means that I apparently have to schedule all manner of appointments with other doctors ahead of that (but after April 13th!) so that I can demonstrate that I am healthy enough for this particular procedure. Which is understandable, because I gather that it requires general anesthesia and that's a notable stressor, but it's still another stack of doctor's appointments.
Meanwhile, I'm going down to Indianapolis to see the total eclipse and hoping for clear weather.
Happily, this does not require a trip to the doctor first...
