I am an adult I told myself. I am old enough to vote I am old enough to drive I am old enough to get married. I am old enough to have a heart condition for heaven’s sake! So I am definitely old enough to go to a cardiologist by myself.
I am also old enough to have known that I shouldn’t procrastinate getting my medical records. Because now I had to visit two hospital complexes in one day.
First I went to the hospital where Hatzolah had brought me. No problem I’d been here before. In a compromised state of health but still. I can totally park in this massive parking lot find my way to the correct floor navigate to the Medical Records office explain what I need prove who I am and get what I need. No big deal.
Driving to the second hospital was slightly more daunting. But people drive long distances alone all the time. Nothing to be afraid of… Just of parking in another huge parking lot and navigating another huge medical complex this time completely unfamiliar and with the appointment time looming.
