Leaving on a jet plane

I'll be back around Christmas time.

However, instead of being in bed right now, getting more rest for the trip, I had to get up at 5:00 (Mom works today) so my friend Becky can take me to a 7:45 appointment with my cardiologist. It's been over a year since I've last seen her, and she wouldn't renew my blood pressure med -- and I found this out yesterday afternoon.

A. I'm a busy person who now sees at least three specialists in addition to my GP. I can't keep track of who I saw when.

B. No one bothered to tell me when I should have a follow-up.

C. No one called me to make an appointment for a follow-up.

D. When the last refill was called in a month or so ago, no one (neither the pharmacy nor the cardiologist's office) called to tell me Dr. B "did it as a favor" and that I needed to make an appointment.

E. I am not a mind reader, people.

I need a nap. Please, dear Higher, give me the strength to get through this day without crying or yelling at someone just because I'm sleepy.
