how's feeling more confident about adulting this year going, violet?

so glad you asked. I told myself at the beginning of january that this year I'd be prioritizing both mine and my cat's health (e.g. taking us to the vet/doctor bc it's been years for either of us) and promptly made her a vet appt. now that the vet appt is arriving uhhh next week I'm realizing I really need to also make myself that doctor's appointment I guess? uh?? fuck!

#doctors cw #medical cw #my previous gp retired last summer but I hadn't seen her in years before that anyway #I could see a nurse practitioner at that same practice #or I could go with one of the ppl my boss recommended #or one of the docs I found googling for fat-friendly providers near me #so now I have too many options and am overwhelmed #I know I need to go to the doctor #it's been multiple years + I am getting older + want to take better care of myself #specifically I would like to get (back) into (long distance) biking which I haven't been doing on account of My Joints #something Is Wrong with them and I need to get it checked out #but there's like a 95% chance that any doctor is going to start and end that conversation at 'you need to exercise more/lose weight'#never mind that I want to get the joints looked at so I *can* exercise because right now things hurt #anyway this isn't me looking for advice unless you have a specific GP rec for my area #e.g. only if you know where I live #I'm just venting bc it's so frustrating as a process #also lmao @ me for getting my cat's medical care sorted out before my own #classic! but also there's a vet literally walking distance from my apt. so that made the 'where to take her' choice easier #I've put in an appt rec for one doc. but now I'm second guessing that so back to the drawing board I suppose #sigh.
