Botox

Other than teaching my regular class today and setting up the classroom for two classes tomorrow, I’m not overly busy or stressed about today. Yesterday was the hump I had to get over this week, and everything went just fine. In fact, it went much better than I expected. 

Today’s bigger task is heading down to Dartmouth’s hospital to get a Botox treatment for my migraines. Usually, I go to their outpatient clinic, but my nurse practitioner who does my Botox did not have an open appointment at the clinic. She knows the Botox tends to wear off after 10 weeks and doesn’t last the full 12 weeks, so she did not want me to wait any longer than 12 weeks. (Insurance won’t pay for it unless it’s at least 12 weeks.) So, she had the person scheduling appointments to see if she had any appointments open at the hospital. She actually said, “If you can’t find an appointment, just schedule him for my lunch hour.” I thought that was very nice of her. The Botox appointments usually don’t last more than 10 minutes.
