Yesterday was incredibly hectic. Between getting a call from work about me taking a random drug test and Brian going to the doctor a million other little things happened…
Brian went to the doctor to get a clearance that basically said he was fit to work. So, he made an appointment to go at 1:30 - they opened the office late and then did not call him back until after 2:30. I was supposed to pick him up at 3 PM and showed up but we was not outside waiting. I waited until almost 4PM but he did not come out. Later, I came back and Brian was outside at about 4:15 PM. He said he could not get his clearance because the doctor said his blood pressure was too high - about 160/80 and 150/80. Of course, he had just eaten a high protein sandwich that was 1000 calories so he is sure that contributed to his blood pressure spike -not to mention the stress that he undergoes when he goes to the doctor’s office… He was VERY annoyed. He says he was too informal with them and will require them to call him Doctor next time. He also has to have records of his EKG from Ohio sent to the doctor so she can look at it. She told Brian that his blood pressure has to be lower or she will put him on medication. The nurse also said Brian weighed 267 lbs and she did not blink when she wrote that weight down. The only way Brian could weigh that much is if he stuffed 100 lbs. of lead in his pockets. We bought a blood pressure cuff for him yesterday so we can take his blood pressure at home. His blood pressure is only a bit elevated but no doubt yesterday was stressful… He gets to go back to the doctor to deal with them in another 3-4 weeks after they have a chance to review his records from Ohio and then determine if he can be “fit for work.”
Oh, and he also decided he wants to get an MD so he can be Dr. Dr. Brian Uldall MD, PhD and most importantly so he can “cut people open and fill them full of drugs.” Great. Just what the world needs is for Brian to become a neurosurgeon - be afraid, be very afraid.
