I was supposed to see my podiatrist last week, but the building management screwed up my week by putting in a new sidewalk. The jackhammers and workers drove the cats crazy, and I didn't want to step outside with the walker and get trapped in the mess, so I rebooked all my appointments except for the podiatrist, since I needed to see her ASAP. I called yesterday, got the appointment for this morning, and called Access-a-Ride. The worst part is, the office is down on East 22nd Street, and with traffic I could be there forever before I get home.
