God and Family tried to keep me away...

[karpouzian 94]

So, I had my pre-op testing completed this week. God and Family tried to keep me from getting tested this week, and not e en my family!

My in-laws, wife, children, and I went to the pulmonologist about 2 hours away from us, just because it is a bigger town, and was something to do

Well, we leave my in-laws and kids at the mall while my wife and I went to the mall. Our first appointment (of 3) (lung function) goes just fine, and I pass my lung capacity test just fine. We leave that appointment, and start crossing the skyway to get to the lung X-ray / pulmonologist, and the sky is BLACK! We get to. He k in, and announcement comes over the loudspeaker: a tornado has touched down in this county, Cedar Rapids air sirens are going off. We start getting shuffled to the basement, and then they say... Mercy hospital is in no danger.

So, god tried his best to stop me from appointment one

Wednesday, my wife had an appointment, and they required some next day follow up. We were going to be in a neighboring town that next day for the rest of my tests, at three different hospitals with two different specialists... Thankfully I asked if we could get her follow up at one of the hospitals I would be at. Fortunately that was all right.

Finally, the end of the day, the last appointment, and we go to see dr. Nadipuram, in our last destination... We get to the third floor, find their office. I tell the receptionist that I have an appointment with dr. Nadipuram, and she seems very confused. I specify, dr. Nadipuram, the hematologist? She says no, that's her husband, his office is across town!

Seeing as we had just made it in time for our appointment, we zoomed across town, and they were kind enough to squeeze us in about an hour and 15 minutes after our scheduled appointment, so it meant a little more waiting, but we did it!
