Don't get me wrong...I like the doctor and her physician assistant just fine. They are both very nice. I just... Ugh. Sitting in that office. I'm usually the youngest person there. (besides Sissy, who is my constant sidekick).
People have actually asked me what was wrong with me! I'm not in the habit of relaying my medical condition to complete strangers.
I guess I'm not exactly the face of MS - or at least what most people would think.
I know they'll get on me about canceling my MRI in August. It's going to cost about $400 out of pocket and we took some heavy financial hits in August, so I didn't think I wanted to add to our burden at that time. Wait 'til after tax time...I'll have the money then.
The MRI is another grouse in itself. A nightmare to get to it, at least an hour in that clangy tube. Not my idea of a good time.
Anyhoodle, I'll be out and about today, so won't get to read many blogs until later this afternoon/evening, but I'll do my best. :-)
Have a great day!
Good luck, my friend. I'm glad you like your neuro, but I'm sorry that you have to go there.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your appointment. Not the best way to spend the day, but then again...not the worst either.
ReplyDeleteI know what it the doctor's office feels like. I know that dread. I am sending you good vibes. But don't sacrifice your health and your test like so many women do.
ReplyDeletebest wishes to you...
ReplyDeletehugs
Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh, Honey. I understand the dread. I also understand putting off the MRI. But please get it done. For me?
ReplyDeleteSafe travels, ETW!
Your appointment will be fine, I'm sure, so don't get nervous! I've never had an MRI but it seems like a freaky experience. I've seen lots of people get them on Gray's Anatomy, though :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything. XOXO
Hope your appointment goes ok... But take it from this Doc.. listen to the docs and what they say... MRIs aren't that bad. Really.
ReplyDeleteOh sweetie, hang in there, get through today and then you can focus on all the hustle and bustle of the holidays. *Hugs* to you!
ReplyDeletePeople are so nosy these days!!! At least you have Sissy to amuse you...my daughter is always fun to pal around with. Although she is nearing 2 1/2 so, the terrible 2s are coming, I am sure!!
ReplyDeleteI have some kidney issues that are being treated by a urologist. Seeing that most of the patience are older men with prostate issues, I get some odd questioning glances every time I go in. I kinda get a kick out of though. Maybe they think I am a cross dresser :-)
ReplyDeletepatients...duh...
ReplyDeleteSorry you have to deal with all the hassles, but it's for your own good. I would totally love the MRI, I mean imagine the echoes in there if you let a really good fart loose. It would be like a fart canon aimed right at the doctor :-)
ReplyDeletewull, that just sucks..
ReplyDeletemostly the fact that you have to need a neurologist.
*hugs*
I hope you'll soon be back to feeling well again!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the neurologist. When I have my annual appointment, I'll be in trouble for canceling physical therapy (again). Back healed itself, PT EXPENSIVE.
ReplyDeleteMy neuro has never scheduled me for any MRIs post diagnosis. He treats symptoms, does not look for progression. Which is fine with me.
Damn, you're such a cheery spirit that I forget about the MS. I guess you're really not the face of MS. MRI sounds like the suck, too. But if you gotta do it you gotta do it.
ReplyDeleteHope your appointment goes well.
I'm sure it is not something to look forward to. I hope it went well.
