Finally Over

Who else is happy the Olymics are over??? I am thrilled. Not because I hated watching the Olymics, but because I liked watching the Olympics too much which in turn meant less sleep! I don't remember the last time I saw that much flipping, running, swimming and diving and stayed up past 10 p.m. every night. Seriously though, I really did enjoy the Olympics. It's an incredible event and we get to experience it with millions of other humans all over the globe. Koodos to all the athletes and coaches. What will I do to fill the hours now?

I made it through my appointment last week. I was seething mad when I left the doctor's office. First off, I had to pay a $20 co-pay (more on that later), then it took 45 minutes to get to see my OB and then he spent about 5 minutes with me telling me stuff I couldn have learned through a telephone conversation. Here's how the appointment went...

"Hi Lisa, how are you feeling?"

"Fine, thanks"

(looking at his computer screen) "Well, everything looks fine...we'll take a look at todays bloodwork once it's back and if there is anything to be concerned about, we'll call you...take care..."

What??? Again, why this appointment had to take place is beyond me. Maybe to get that stupid $20 co-pay. $20 is not a lot of money, that's not the point. The point is with my first pregnancy and delivery, I paid $20 on my first visit and then had to pay something like $200 to the hospital and that's it. A grand total of $220 to HAVE a baby. But with my miscarriage, I have had to pay $20 every time I had an appt. to see the doctor, even when it was a follow-up visit and I only spent 5 (non)quality minutes w/ my OB. Figures.
