hello, we'd like you to worry a while

I called my doctor's office to find out about my X-ray results. They aren't in yet (annoying but not surprising: the tech said this morning, which could easily mean an hour from now). However, the doctor wants to see me again--allegedly they "left a message at [my] house" about this on Tuesday. I have an answering machine. It had no messages. Artemis doesn't take messages, and nobody else was home.

However, the upshot of this is that instead of helping quility this afternoon, I have a 3:30 appointment, which gives me five hours to wonder what he could have found out from listening to my chest and looking down my throat, but only realized after I left. Put that way, it seems silly, but I've made the appointment and will go.

In further annoying news, my Palm is out of sync despite my just having rebuilt from a hard reset.

medical update

I've definitely had better weeks: the chest X-ray shows pneumonia.

The doctor calmly told me that he doesn't think I need to be hospitalized--good! I'm to continue on the antibiotics, and see him again Monday morning. He'll examine me again, and give me paperwork to get another chest X-ray when I finish the antibiotics, meaning the end of next week or beginning of the following week.

This also messes up my social plans for the next few days, in part because he doesn't want me to risk giving this to my aunt.

Apparently the reason I didn't get the earlier message is that they left it on the voicemail of my old work number, somehow managing to believe that it was my home number. That number should now be out of my records, sparing us having this happen again.
