Did my injection and got home late from a night class yesterday as
usual. Sometime after that, I got at least a few hours of sleep, but
over-slept through the brain fog and missed my early appointment at Hep
Clinic this morning.
So I called the patient care coordinator to notify ASAP that I am late
and at least an hour away. In place of the care-coordinator I reached an
answering-machine robot that said it was out of the office until next
week and advised me to call somebody else or leave a message.
Thus, with my care newly coordinated, I proceeded to call somebody else.
After an obligatory button-pushing dialog with another machine, I got
through to yet a another robot, this one human. I notified the human
that I had missed my appointment. The human promptly responded by
providing me with a new appointment date -- set two months from now.
I advised the human that my care-provider might want to see me sooner
than two months from now, in regard to new laboratory results and other
issues. The human was surely as smart as a Barbie-Doll on Adderall, and
accordingly advised. She said, "Oh, you will have to talk to *them*
about that."
Right. I will have to "talk to them." Maybe just get out a couple tin
cans and ten miles of string, and talk to them. Maybe call back the
robot answering-machine and talk with the patient care-coordinator who
isn't there.. Maybe talk to *them* like I'm not already completely busy
talking to the walls.

You gotta love "them"!
Hope you get this situation sorted somehow. You are funny!

Situation sorted: From here on out, it's all about the drugs -- one more
batch and I'm good to go. As long as the pharmacy hands over what I need
to stay dosed-out on riba and IFN for seven more weeks, the care
provider is irrelevant.
