Pick up that phone and call...

Update: after the third call to the dr's office, I find out the dilly-o. My liver enzymes were elevated so I need to return to get that checked out. The nurse asked me if I drank alcoholic beverages a lot. Um, no.

My total cholesterol is 164, my sugar is great, no remark on the thyroid; but she said that everything looked fine with the only exception of the liver enzymes.

I would rather have me to do more bloodwork for thyroid, there was a faint glimmer of hope of the reason why.

Yesterday, during the making of Sloppy Joe dinner, before geocaching with Kelly and Tracy, I checked my messages. Two messages. The first one was the doctor's office, calling about my lab results and further testing and to give them a call. I called them, office hours were 8 am - 5 pm. The time was currently 5:45 pm. I don't necessarily mind not being able to get the lab results, but they should have left it at lab results... saving the further testing part for when I call back.

Thankfully, geocaching got my mind off of the "further testing". It was an awesome adventure, I saw four froggies, held one in my hand and have a picture of it too. But the camera was acting wonky in the low light. I would love to go back again and take more pictures. Went to have ice cream at Frank's where they had a creamsicle soft-serve - out of the world.

This morning, upon my arrival at work, after fixing my coffee... I call the dr's office. Left a message with some woman, an operator I assume, for a call back. Went into meeting that I thought was going to be worse but turned out alright. Two hours later, I call back the dr's office because I'm a nervous person and am worrying myself into digestive distress. Made an appointment for next Wednesday at 8:15 for "further testing" and asked that a nurse call me back to tell me what's up.

I swear they only call at the most inopportune times, leaving you dangling and wondering etc. At least my other doctor sent me a letter in the mail saying everything's okay or this isn't okay.
