Folks reading my journal know I’ve been complaining about headaches for over a year. I’ve had a CAT scan of my sinuses, and they appear to be the source of the problem. However, since I’ve had the scan, I’ve been putting off making the appointment to see the ENT, because (a) I hate making doctor appointments, and (b) I have an irrational fear of sinus surgery. In short: I’m probably the typical guy when it comes to doctors appointments.<\/p>\n

So, yesterday, I went to my ENT<\/a>‘s website. I filled out their contact form, and asked them to call me or email me to make an appointment. I’ve done this trick with my internist before: Although I hate calling and making an appointment, I’m perfectly willing to send a FAX to their office describing my symptoms and asking them to call me if they think I need an appointment.<\/p>\n

Anyway… so I’m now the proud owner of an appointment to see my ENT at 9:15 AM<\/font> on Tuesday. Perhaps I should frame it?<\/p>\n

As for the rest of the day: <\/a> lrstrobel<\/b><\/a> said it best in <\/a> cellio<\/b><\/a>‘s friends list:<\/p>\n

I’m tired and my roll for motivation has come up a 1.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Luckily, my roll for “urgent stuff to do on my desk” was also low, and I get to head out in 15 minutes for a dentist appointment.<\/p>\n
