I feel like I have been kicked by a mule right to the center of my being.

1st my pain management doctor left... still do not have a new one...my primary doc is supposed to be finding me a referral.

Now this.... I've been seeing her for nearly 3 years. I had grown attached in a comfortable sense of the word. I could tell her how I was feeling and she would help me and adjust my medicines.

I don't want to start all over with God only knows how many Pdocs before a permanent one is found. It hurts to much to repeat my story to each doctor....it make me feel as if I am reliving it over and over again and I just can't keep doing that. I would rather be dead than do this.

How do I tell my Pdoc Goodbye?????:Bawling:

I just give...I have no fight left in me. :(:(:(

Awww abbie. I know how it is. I've had to tell my life story over,and over,and over again. I've told my life story to ten pdocs,a number of pastors,and numerous people who I've asked for prayer. I've been talking about my life,for most of my life now. I'm almost getting use to it.

In the last couple of years I've told a Pastor,Psychiatrist,a support group,a Nurse Practitioner,2 different therapists(One retired,and another was hired) 3 different case managers(2 where let go,one after the other,and another hired),and my Social Services case manager. I told all of them so much,that I don't know how much I've told the different individuals.

What I'm writing about is that it's uncomfortable telling new people your life story,but i think that it's going to be OK,and you will be able to do it.

Like Mari said,tell your councillor what you need now.

I'm sending gentle hugs. You can do this. BF:hug::hug::hug:

abbie How did the last meeting with your Pdoc go yesterday? I hope that you are doing OK. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Friend....

My appointment went ok.

I cried as she told me she wanted to be the one to tell me. But I'm glad I found out early. She explained what happened and why she is no longer going to be the outpatient doctor.

She added a couple of medicines in hopes of getting me off of a couple of others. She said she is going to relay ALL information to the next doc even if it's a temporary doc.

She sent scripts for a year.....for the meds that she could.

She did say that she will be around and that If I were to see her out and about it would be ok to speak to her....this is a BIG change.

Found out that I can not take Lithium!!!!! It shuts down my bladder. But other than that my blood work came back clear/good.

I did see her tear up a little too.... she said she wouldn't say goodbye. I knew I wouldn't. I just asked her if she I could give her a hug...she said yes. She said thank you for trusting her...I thanked her for letting me trust her. That was huge for me.... I don't let people touch me and I trust very few people in my real life.

Thank you for asking.... makes me happy to know you care!!
:hug:

Oh Abbie,

your post put me in tears.

it is good to hear from you and while i'm glad your appointment went well i can see why you are so sad to lose a person like her. i am glad she will be "around" and has given permission to speak with her - that is huge for a pdoc. and yes it is huge that you hugged too, i'm so glad you asked, and that she accepted and that you did.

i hope you do see her around... never know what the next day can bring. this is my hope for you, that this person will somehow remain in your life. as it is, i am glad she touched your life and pray you can carry with you at least part of the progress you made with her.

much love, and :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:

Abbie, I'm sorry she can't be your doctor anymore. She sounds very special. I hope that you find a new pdoc just as trustworthy. :Heart:

Dear Abbie,

She is a wonderful doc. I believe that is trying to let you know that you will be in the best hands. Have the faith that she does.

Please keep taking care.
Lots of hugs.

I knew our family couldn't make it through 2012 without just one more major terrible event.....we've had that kind of year.

My little Sis's house was broken into while they were not at home. Thousands and thousands $$$$$ were taken. And thousands more in damage was done. The worst they took....me sister & brother-in-laws peace of mind. My niece & nephew are afraid to leave the house...they are 6 & 8.

I pray they find who did this as they do.have suspects... but I pray for them that my sister & brother-in-law DON'T!!!!! I've seen my sister mad....SHE SCARES ME!!!!!!

Man I hope 2013 is better,,,, if only by a little.

I'm so sorry to hear this abbie. Are they insured? Is their insurance company responding to this horrible event?

I understand that peace of mind is lost in the family. I hope that everyone recovers. I hope that the family doesn't become outraged,and hunt them down unless it's with the help of the police. BF:(:hug::(
