Off to Pickering Tomorrow

So tomorrow I am off to Pickering. Enlisting a new family physician, a little far from home. But you gotta do what you gotta do. You could say work has forced me to do something good. They have forced me to get treatment for the fatigue and to look into possible underlying causes. I had also used not having a doctor as an excuse not to get treatment. The fatigue has gone on long enough. It's affecting all aspects of life. Plus the doctor can access my medical records from Cobourg and from London so they are consolidated and I can prove that I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Also, the doctor can refer me to a specialist if he believes it is important for my treatment. Lastly, he has the power to clear me to return to work... or if he is looking into treatment for the fatigue an estimated time frame as to when I will be well enough to return to work. So this is a good thing.

If nothing else it also gets me out of the city, something I haven't done in quite a while. I think the last time I left Peterborough was back in the summer. It's about time for a change of scenery. Going to go shopping for computer parts while I am out. The new video system needs a digital sound card. Okay so it is just so I can play it through my Logitech speakers. What can I say... I love my speakers.
