If you can - do it.
One of the best things about being out on disability - is flexibility.
Everytime an appointment is added or adjusted - I deal with it - no problem. If I was working, and had deadlines to meet, and had to make my time up everytime I was out - I'd be so stressed out it would have to be unhealthy.
Just a Sample:
Friday: Got a phone call - "Please go to [out of town hospital] to get CD of MRI records for Radiation Oncologist on Tuesday, and to [downtown medical center] to get Mammogram's from first appointment in October".
Monday: Go to [Surgical Hospital] to preregister; go to [downtown medical center] to get Mammogram's from first visit. (BTW - they weren't there - [out of town hospital] hadn't returned them yet from appointment in January.)
Tuesday: See Radiation Oncologist - who didn't look at MRI data
Wednesday: Take Son to see Orthopaedic (he may have broken/bone bruised his elbow just over a week ago and had a call back visit - real life does go on); also got a call this morning to go into work to get personal stuff - they're moving my workspace this weekend.
Thursday: Go to [Surgical Hospital]. Initially just port placement - be there at 10:30; As of wednesday afternoon it is lab work, ekg & port placement - be there at 9:00.
Friday: R&R!!!!!
