IME and all that jazz

I wish I could tell you I knew my independent medical evaluation appointment went well. I have no idea, and I won’t for some time. The doctor I saw was not allowed to tell me anything.

Here’s how it went: I got there at the time I was told was my appointment but it turns out there was a miscommunication at it wasn’t for another hour so I sat and waited for an hour in their “super comfy chairs”; I found out they lost my paperwork, so I sat and waited for another hour; because the doctor was late now for all his appointments, the actual exam was rushed. I got home three hours after I thought I would.

I just don’t feel good about this. He wasn’t a neurologist, he wasn’t going to get it. Will I even get a check in May? I have no idea.

What I do know is that it’s probably a better idea for me to work through the anxiety than to stay drugged and/or drunk until I find out. Then again…

  1. Three hours and you didn't call back!?!?! :) Seriously I'm so sorry that you had to deal with that. My fingers are still crossed and hope that you get that check in May...

    Is there any sort of an appeal you can do "if" things go bad? (Not putting that out to the universe or anything....)

  2. Don't know about any appeal... but can't imagine that would be very fast. I would raise all sorts of hell, though. I had my laptop at the doc's office, so it was ok.
