adhd tax: i find the letter from my ophthalmologist appointment that i was referred to over a year ago and it says "please call to confirm or it may be cancelled"
-
looks like the office opens 20 minutes before my appointment so i can call before we leave tomorrow to find out if it's still happening. dammit i waited a really long time
-
the adhd tax is so demoralizing. so embarrassing to have to say i forgot etc
-
the optometrist that referred me called when the letter arrived and told me about it, then they emailed it to me, and then i got a paper letter in the mail from the ophthalmologist. so something in my brain went, "we talked to somebody on the phone, it's obviously confirmed" and i didn't look at the letter again
-
and i've been so anxious about one procedure they might need to do that i didn't want to read the info package so that's another reason i didn't see that part of the letter
-
calling to find out if my appointment was cancelled. this is the weirdest hold ever. phone rings an arbitrary number of times, then switches back to music, then back to ringing
-
nobody answered and we rushed out the door because it's way the hell across town in suburbia and i was late but woo not cancelled
now i'm here for 2-3 hours of testing and possibly scary glaucoma laser
-
'what conditions are your medications for?'
'uh, psoriatic arthritis... and... trans...' -
chronic illness things: always being the youngest person in the waiting room
-
they have the ikea air purifiers we have in a few of the rooms but they look so dinky in here. definitely not enough

@forestine thank you for sharing. I hope things get better.
