Update I stood up for myself (finally) and I’m very proud.
Hey, remember when I told you I started working with kids and they’re so germy so I get some kind of sickness every month?
Yeah well, I’m sick again. (I’m fine it’s just a cold) but I lost my voice. Which is ironic cuz husband is still out of town and now I can barely whisper on the phone to talk to him lmao.
Anyway I need my voice for my job and I’ve had a cough for a week (asthma = no bueno)
so I decided to go to my local urgent care after work.
The last time I was there I had a horrendous experience with the doctor working the late shift.
Im sure you know but since I was sick as a kid I know what the early symptoms of pneumonia look like in me, but they didn’t believe me = wouldn’t run any tests and told me I had allergies. (I got into my car and had a panic attack after.)
Went back today, was told I’d be seeing the same doctor. So I stood up told the nurse “I need to leave, I’m uncomfortable seeing that doctor I have to go”
HOORAY! That was really hard to do.
I’m gonna schedule an appointment with my primary doctor for next week don’t worry, he’s chill.
