Relocating For Love?

Folks, it goes without saying that I've had more than my share of relationship woes. I meet a nice young lady in my area, things start of pretty good, then...FLOP! Whose fault this failures are? Well, it all depend on who you talk to, LOL...

Anyhoo, my relationships with the local ladies simply doesn't work out too well. On the other hand, I was involved in an long distance relationship (LDR) several years ago which was also one of my longest-lasting relationship to date. Things were really great between DA and I. What's even funny is the fact that we were friend first and things just simply flowed into some more serious.

"The Doctor May See You Now"

In early April of this year I needed to make an appointment to see the doctor. Since I am among those who are uninsured, I have to attend the county-ran hospital Cooper-Green Mercy (CGM). Make no mistake about it, CGM has some of the finest and competent physicians you can find anywhere. Still, the service leaves many things to be desired as the blog will show you.

Back to the story at hand. Like I said before, I needed to have a doctor's appointment, so I contacted CGM to schedule one. The kind lady on the line informed me that the earliest possible date would be June 15th.

Yikes!

Much to my chagrin, I went on and accepted the appointed for the 15th of June. Yet I had a much more serious conundrum at hand. Unfortunately, I deal with hypertension, which results from both heredity and plain old bad choices & lifestyle, but that's neither here nor there. The problem is that my prescriptions will run out prior to my appointment June. Fortunately, I was able to phone in refills to the CGM's emergency room and they were gracious enough to provide me with my meds to last me until my visit in June.
