Dear Mari

i hope you enjoy the fridge and microwave oven - certainly convenient ... unless you already had them in a shared space and they take up office space you would have preferred "free." you can probably return them in that case.

i think that was funny on hubby's behalf.
forgive me if i found this hysterical (in both senses? ) but i also recognized a sense of panic in it that was far from funny. i am really glad to hear you are feeling better.

i do think this is a good idea. Starting to feel like you might lose it bad enough. Add to that the fear of getting stuck in some gawful hx only makes things worse i think. Having this emergency list in place might take away a stressor that hits you at the worst of times, is what i am thinking.

i hope hubby can real in his obsessing somewhat too. and that you continue to get more sleep. i know the sleep will help.

sending lots of love and good vibes...

I highly recommend all of us making out a list of our past hospitalizations, injuries, allergies,( i list SSRI's in there) medical information that could be useful, family hx if significant, current doctors names and phone numbers, current medications and supplements, insurance information, blood type, contact information copy of living wills if we have one, share this with your significant other/family member or health care representative.
Sounds like you are going to do this.

HI,

I see pdoc later today. I am less in the mood than I normally am to
1. wake up and get out of bed for an afternoon appt.
2. drive
3. deal with him.

I also don't feel like explaining the Gabapentin to him.

M.

sorry ... sounds like you are feeling bleehhh today.

can you find the gabapentin posts in this thread, and just print them for him to read? even maybe just the last few posts on it would be enough?

i hope you regain your energies soon ((((hugs))))

Hi, Waves,

Pdoc's office called two days ago to cancel (I don't check phone messages but I did call to confirm the appt. when I got in the car about 2 miles toward his office.)

He has cancelled twice. I last saw him in May/ June.
He only sees patients in the mornings except for one afternoon a week.

Wow, Mari, that's mean. Makes me appreciate my pdoc. He met me at my pharmacy 1ce to get a script in my hands. He's really good about making sure I don't go without.

It's *itt* what you're going through. I'm sorry.

oh geez Mari that SUXXXXX! i'm sorry.

i wonder if he was sick or what. did they offer you another appointment time soon, when you called? he can't just leave you stranded.

Hi,

He is not a youngster. I'm not sure now much longer he will keep his practice. I'm expecting that soon he will have someone else take over the practice.
The last time he canceled was due to a death in the family. Today was because he was in a car accident. The receptionist had called people on Tuesday to re-schedule appts.
I'm not sure if his receptionist was even in the office today. Someone answered. I told that person that I would call back tomorrow to reschedule.


I can't see him next Thursday afternoon because I have a routine exam for a mammo that day. I don't know if I am free the Thursday after that.

Here is a picture of my pdoc (Goldschmidt) (maybe when he was a little younger).

he looks like a kind, gentle person.

(then again, my understanding is, so did Ted Bundy )

seriously. as much as a photo can inspire confidence, his does. thanks for sharing.
