The building is WAY TOO COLD! Everyone was complaining. The thermostat in the office he saw me in was set at on 68. Do yall keep your homes that cold?

Mom has dementia, so long wait times are extremely difficult on her. It’s a huge challenge to keep her from not pitching fits and walking out. This last visit Dr Eddy allowed me to split our appointment into two visits. Testing one week and see doctor the next week. This is the first time we’ve tried this. Maybe the office wasn’t as busy too, but we got in/out in a little over an hour with just the testing part. If our visit next week goes as well, I’ll be estatic!
