The Downside of Not Getting Sick Very Often

So I've been sick for about 3 1/2 weeks now. Mostly chest congestion and coughing... a lot of coughing. Yesterday something started going on with my sinuses. Needless to say there has been a lot of mucus involved. I had thought about going to the doctor, it would get a little better so I would put it off. I don't have time to go to the doctor anyway. Today I had had enough. So I called good ol' Dr. Buchweitz. I hate making the drive to Lansing but I still haven't gotten around to finding a doctor around here. I've only had six years, I'll get to it! I know it's been awhile since I've gone to see her. Apparantly it's been longer than I thought. Like 6 1/2 years. So I am no longer a patient there. After about three years they drop you. (They did offer to try and get me in as a new patient with one of the OTHER doctors there. Not even with our doctor. I declined.) Even if I knew which doctor I wanted to go to we all know it takes a while to get the insurance stuff switched over to a new doctor. So now I actually want to go to a doctor and don't have one to go to. I called PHP to see what they thought I should do, I wouldn't want to break some rule I don't know about and end up having to pay more money than I should. They tell me to go to Urgent Care since it has the same co-pay as an office visit anyway and I can go to any one I want. We've always gone to the Urgent Care at the hospital in Mt. Pleasant. I've never been all that thrilled with our experience there. I've heard ads on the radio about a new Urgent Care in Alma so I decide to try that out. It was so nice! All new and shiny! And there was nobody there. I felt like an idiot telling them I was there because I had been sick for over three weeks and now it was URGENT! But everybody was very nice and I was in and out in less than an hour. I am now armed with Zithromax and an inhaler so hopefully I'll be all better soon. (I have bronchitis and a sinus infection.) I'm hoping I'm better in time to go see Nolan when he decides to show up!
