    I have 22 scheduled right now and have been posting them to my calendar to remember. We should have a contest and see who has the most. I bet I would win. I would really rather lose.

    I have fewer than that. Three, I believe,

    I post them on:
    -a physical calendar that's on my fridge
    -my Yahoo email calendar so I get a reminder email from ME the night before and the morning of
    -my Smartphone so if someone asks me if I'm free on a given day & time, I can answer right then & there
    -a spreadsheet that lists every day of the year so I get a forward view of activities

    Those last two are not so important in The Era of the COVID. Most of the activities I was engaged in are gone for now. I've done a ton of deleting.

    Most of my appointments are for radiation to skin cancers. It's no more than a 5 minute procedure.

    Is that a far drive?

    Are you restricted as to where you can go once you're off-premises? Do they want exposure to be limited?

    I'm probably the winner, but I won't bother counting them. I have weekly chemo appointments, weekly labs, ultrasound imaging, surgery, radiation treatments, consultations, etc. for the next year. I'd much rather lose, too. :confused:

    I have none scheduled. I suppose I will get my eyes checked soon, but I am blessed with pretty good health.

    The only one I have is in April for my thyroid test. My thyroid is starting to do better, so my doctor had lowered my Armour thyroid in January, and scheduled me to come back in three months to see how it is doing, and do my regular blood tests.
    Sometime this spring, I should be going back to the cardiologist to check the pacemaker, but I do not have an appointment for that as of yet.

    I am taken to all my appointments within a 10 minute drive in the Assisted Living Limo.

    After the exercises, I enjoy the massages from the lady Therapists! (One lady per session)

    (If you subtract "the" from therapists...what do you have?)

    One this month to check my thyroid med and one in August for my annual check-up. One with the dermatologist sometime for a complete body check for skin cancer.

    With 22 medical appointments scheduled for you, you're no winner!
