Well, we fired the new urologist. Yep, he called yesterday and spoke down to us as if we were asking for a miracle. He seems to think waiting 34 hours for a call back is not so bad. I told him for the normal UTI, yeah but for Jim he could be in a crisis by then. I also told him we are not seeking special treatment, just the right treatment.

Anyway, after running off our expectations he said we are asking him to cure Jim's bladder just like asking to cure MS. What an ****. We were highly offended. We just want Jim to be UTI free for awhile and not have so many. Find out the problem of WHY he has one after another. Is that so hard? I mean it's not like we are asking him to cure cancer or something.

Anyway, we hired a new doctor and Jim is set up to see him on the 30th. He's from Rush and comes highly recommended by the office. She said her fiance has the same problems and was very compassionate about Jim's ms and constant problems. I was so nervous on the phone and she relaxed me and Jim. Now, that's what we're talking about! Compassion, simple. Wish us luck. Jim stops Levequin on Saturday so that will give us four days off the antibiotic to get a fresh sample for the new doctor.

Live and learn, that's what we have come to know. It doesn't matter where you go, you must be in charge of your healthcare. Never take condescending tones or feel like your just a number on the doctors cell phone. And never, ever accept any doctor speaking down to you and saying your asking for too much. Even if you are, a good doctor will be compassionate and understanding that your only seeking answers and care. Oh, and if the nurses tell you to get a second opinion and even suggest a different doctor, take notice.

Whew, OK, enough of that. Jim and I are headed out to see my cousin today and then get some wrapping paper for my little cousins b-day gift. I am hoping to find Hannah Montana wrap since she is a fan and the party is a Rockin' Hannah Montana party. lol

To all of you have a good day and I hope your feeling better. Jenn and Trish, I know you must not be well if your thinking of seeing the doctor. I hope this doesn't last long and your both back on your feet soon.

to everyone!
