one appt became two

I had an appointment to see my GP today. It had been six months since I last seen her so it was to discuss antidepressants. She suggested staying on them until March and then reducing the dosage over a few weeks so I'm not just stopping them. My GP didn't feel January was the right time to stop and felt March, when the days are getting longer, would be a much better idea. I agreed. I did say how worried I was about stopping them because I've done this before. I'm always going to be scared though, no matter when I stop them.

Just as I was leaving she asked about my smear test. I said I'd got the letter but hadn't got around to making an appointment. She then said she would make an appointment for me. While she was checking appointment times she said the nurse is free right now. I felt really put on the spot but my GP said this way I won't stress about it and it's done. So I agreed and that's it done. You would think after having a baby and all the follow up appointments that I would be used to things like this but no, there was plenty of laughing. I especially liked it when the nurse said she also gets her socks from Tesco! But like I said - it's done!
