The Appointment Ritual
Got lots of #specialists ? Me too! To keep myself organized I chunk my appointments so I can get them done. This also allows me to double up on labs by copying whomever needs labs, that way they're seeing me in the same time frame, with the same test results. Most importantly, I have a ritual where I do something FUN after each appointment: buy a sparkly pen, walk to my favourite part of the city, stare at the lake, go to the steam room at the gym. I make sure that the appointment and its seriousness don't take over the rest of my day. It's also my way of celebrating the ability to do something other than be a patient.
