My PCP didn't give me a hard time about the mistake I made with my meds. And I got a few things accomplished while I was there…

I still have that cough after a month and a half, so he told me to take delsym and allegra (I hope it's not too sedating) and he ordered a chest X-Ray just in case there's something infectious going on.

They did an EKG when I was in the ER and the doctor told me I have an abnormal heart rhythm. Apparently I've had it since I was in the hospital after my s/s attempt in late 2004 when my intentional OD put me in the cardiac unit (yes, that was part of the s/s attempt too). It's the same hospital, so the ER doc was able to compare the EKG from when I was discharged in 2004 to the one I just had done and I guess they're the same. I don't know why nobody thought it was important to tell me I did permanent damage back then… Anyway, my PCP is going to get a copy of the EKG and see if I need to go see a cardiologist.

I did talk to him about the "major depressive disorder" diagnosis he made after our last appointment and the conversation went smoothly. He was happy with my mood… I was having a good day… the amantadine was helping. He was pleased to hear that I'm open to talking about any concerns about my mental health and that he has my permission to talk to pdoc.

It was in the mid 50s and sunny yesterday and the outpatient services center isn't too far from my PCP's office, so I walked over there to get my chest X-Ray. It was a little ambitious, but I made it. I need the exercise.
