Is it possible to have a telehealth or zoom appointment? Ask the office! They may accommodate you!

i actually did that. So the appointment is a two parter. 1st part is thru Zoom on March 1st. the 2nd part must be in office and is a computer testing that last 3-4 hours and is roughly 600 questions long. :(

Fingers crossed that it comes back negative and you don’t have to change anything but at least if you do it’s just the testing part which is probably with office staff and not the dr so the appointments should be easier to get.

To be honest, you should have checked with us on the whole "Should I get Covid?" question.

I think a majority of us would have come down on the "No" side.

Here's hoping you reconsider the results of the test and choose "No", just to be safe.

Good luck,

Tek

Yep, that’s the MMPI test. It took me one hour. My psychologist sent me a link to take it at home. I never met with him in person. It’s interesting how different the process is at different clinics.

Yup thats the name. but there is also another test as well apparently that goes after that one. Gonna try again to see if i can do it at home if my test comes up positive again.

While it's true that all humor is best when explained in excruciating detail, in this case I was working out an alternate reality concept that does not lend itself to a coherent explanation.

It's best just to live with the confusion and move on lest I choose to explain it anyhow, then you'll be sorry.

Good luck,

Tek

Holy cow. I did my psych visit from a Las Vegas hotel room using Zoom. It didn't last even 10 minutes! I can't believe you have to take the MMPI test at all, much less in an office! Not cool.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
