Make an appointment for a physical

The appointment is for tomorrow.

gulp.

it’s not exactly the exam, but at least I have an appointment on Tuesday to see my doctor about a number of health issues of concern. It’s a step in the right direction.

I figured out a place to go. It’s very close to work. I can ask for a female resident. Residents are good for this sort of thing. They are still considerate. They tend to be concerned about not causing pain. And there’s a built in anonymity.

Next step is to make an appointment.

I haven’t had a physical in years. It needs to be done. I always conveniently forget to do anything about it. Then I don’t have to think about all the post-traumatic shit the anticipation of the exam, not to mention the actual exam, stirs up inside. blech.

I suppose the first step is to start getting recommendations & see if I can locate a health care practitioner who is not too terrifying.
