Adventure to the Doctors Office

We had quite the experience at Doctor Gleich's office today. Christie didn't even have to ask me to tag along this time as I was excited to see what he had to say about Hereditary Angioedema. I wasn't all that excited to drive out to midvale, but we had a nice trip and arrived about 10 minutes early giving us enough time to pay our co-pay! I should have know it wasn't going to be a great doctor's visit when the chair broke that I was sitting in as we were waiting for the nurse. It did however releive a lot of Christie's stress - so in the end it was worth the spectacular fall.

We had the normal interrogation from the nurse which lasted 20 minutes too long. She was a short lady who made jokes that weren't all that funny, but made her laugh more than enough. She kindly left and said the classic words, "The doctor will be in shortly." Of course, she had no idea how much longer he would be. Christie and I contented ourselves at first with some simple conversation. After a while, we began shredding paper and shooting baskets in the garbage can. Christie had some amazing no look shots and bank shots off the door and sanitizer. The nurse checked in a couple of times to make sure everything was okay, and we always pretended to just be sitting around doing nothing.

The doctor finally arrived, about an hour later, went through many similar questions to the nurse and seemingly perplexed by Christie's health, suggested a quick physical exam. Before he left us, he managed to setup about 7 or 8 blood tests for Christie, along with a urine sample! Since Christie was so brave, we celebrated with Artic Circle :)
