The family trooped into the metropolis yesterday afternoon to make introductions with the new primary-care doctors. Things went reasonably smoothly (and the docs aren't all rushed here like they are in, say, Silicon Valley). A perky, upbeat young doctor taking time to get to know the new patient? What a concept!
I got the flu vaccine for the first time in many years, and also the pneumococcus vaccine. The latter is leaving me with a very sore muscle. Apparently this is a routine side effect.
Sometime soon, I'm supposed to report to the lab for fasting blood work. Couldn't very well do that in the afternoon; a 12 hour overnight fast would have become a 20+ hour fast, and I would have been thoroughly miserable. And there's various followup stuff to be scheduled. Have I ever mentioned that I don't like being around medical facilities?
