Don't Forget To Bring These With You

Things to bring to the doctors; a reminder list
A cloth mask and medical grade mask double layered
A binder full of documents from er visits and doctors visits etc
Headphones because you can be left alone
A charger for your phone just in case
A water bottle or a drink of sorts
Don't forget a pack of gum to prevent your lip chewing
And just don't forget the fucking timeline.
Or the ocean of symptoms you deal with
Remember your medical history for fucks sake
Oh and remember your family's medical history on top of that
Don't get overwhelmed now, you have to be clear
Don't be ashamed or embarrassed by their questions
Hold your temper when they ask prying questions
About your lifestyle, sexuality, you past
Take a breath and just focus
Don't forget it will all be over soon
