Trying to accomplish a few tasks this morning that I've been putting off forever....
1. Book G an appointment with the Endocrinologist.
He is hopeless with his diabetes and is also 6 months overdue to see the Endocrinologist. Despite having pointed this fact out to him a million and one times over the last 6 months, he still hasn't booked one, so I decided to do it for him. Took me forever to source the number for this guys office, had to call around to get it, and then when I finally did manage to call they were not, of course, there. I left a voice mail but (obviously) nobody has called back.
2. Book D & I appointments with the Deathtist.
We are both overdue for our 6 monthly checkup. D had a tiny filling put in a year or so ago and I think it might've fallen out. I have chipped one of my back teeth a tiny bit and it's starting to hurt. Why have I put off making this appointment for so long? Because I am phobic about the dentist. What happened when I finally got around to making the call this morning? Nobody was there.
3. Book D an appointment to get his hair cut with our lovely friend & neighbour Joanne who works at a local salon and is official hairdresser to the street.
We have these photo's being taken on Monday and D's hair is a little unruly to say the least. Found the number for the salon, called, and guess what? Nobody was there.
Scream.
I guess I'll get around to making the calls again in another 6 months.

But on the other hand you can also point out to him that if he doesn't sort out his diabetes then his teeth will mean he'll be living at the deathtist so at least he'll be able to get your appointments made ;)

Everyone goes through a period of denial with diabetes... I should know, mine lasted about 17 years. Sooner or later something will make him stop and think, nothing you can do will speed that up (unfortunately).

Posted by: Steve at March 20, 2005 09:37 PMPretty much. Reason being that we have dreadful dentists who hurt us and create problems so our teeth are either wrecked by them, or wrecked because we are too scared to go to them.
