Thanks to you all! I've given this whole situation with my Doctor a lot of thought.My 2nd opinion was my best friend,she just happens to be a Doctor.However she is moving out of state in less than a month! I am in the works of getting a new Primary Care Physician,that isn't burnt out,and neglectful! My insurance does cover the Physicians in the building I'll be switching to,and the specialists are located in the same building.I'm not going to become a casualty of my Doctors negligence! I'm going to get that referral,and get that specialist,and be more assertive in my medical care.I'm not going to take no for an answer,it's my life,and it's not thier decision to take it from me,it's thier job to save it to the best of thier ability!
And I do have friends in California,I will get back to,as soon as I can afford it,AND THE BEACH! LOL... My family however,98% of them want me dead,and have been wishing for that for years,especially my Mom! Only 2 out of 9 brothers actually care about me,and my Dad was my hero! He made my world go round! Now that my Dad has passed on,I am no longer a part of my family,my Mom made that perfectly clear.I'm just waiting to get off probation so I can legally change my last name.I still use my alias last name for personal affairs,but anything legal,I have to use the family name! I only have a year and a half left to go before I can make it legal,and I can't wait,it's like a kid,on x-mas morning! 1 of those brothers that loved me like my Dad,will Travel wherever I go to see me.The other will keep in touch! The rest will be glad I'm gone.When I told my Mom,I had COPD,her reaction was,and I quote,
"That's Great!",no kidding!. I'm not making this up,she is pure evil!
But I am taking the steps I need to get the proper care while I'm still here,and I'm working on getting back to California,plus I already have Doctors there,it's my home,so my Doctors are still there! But thanks for the words of encouragement and advice ,you're all great!
