ceriThis has been a glorious day on the medical front.
First, Seattle Counseling Service called back for scheduling I'll be seeing the woman who did my intake interview - whom I liked and trusted right off - with my first session on the 1st. That's faster than I was expecting, and I'm really happy about it.
But it doesn't begin to compare to what happened next. I called Capitol Hill Medical, a GLBT-oriented physicians practice that SCS recommended, and they can see me tomorrow for an initial appraisal. That's very much faster than I was expecting; I'm not used to service like that from doctors.
I have to fast tonight, but that's okay. I have time to prepare stuff I can take with me and enjoy snacking on right after tomorrow's appointment.
I am so bubbly tonight. It's been years and years since I had a good general physician. It's hard to start from scratch explaining my condition to someone new. But part of the advantage of dealing with people used to work with GLBT patients is precisely that I'm not - between AIDS, transitioning, and all the rest, they have a broad foundation in systemic health strangeness. So I'm getting my info in order and really, really looking forward to this.
