Doctor, Doctor - Gimme Some News.....

hi!

Up I got, and to the doc did trot...
so early in the morning...

My request to change docs was handled easily with no hard feelings.
I've been to other docs in the past who, when you state a preference, they won't let you change to another in the partnership...
so I had some anxiety about that; prayed like crazy about it -
and all is well.

I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings or anything
but in thirty days -
I'd received more relief than in 8 MONTHS of going to the other doc saying the same thing over and over.

No brainer, far as I'm concerned.

Anyway-
it all worked out and I didn't even have to produce my thirty day chart to 'prove' anything to him. I had to provide documentation and use all kinds of persuasion before ...
going to the doc had become like going to court or an IRS audit...
(God forbid)

it was so great to simply be taken at my word.

I just had to say 'this happens around this time of day every day'...
or whatever. He knew what I was talking about, and made his little notes ...

it was like going to visit an old school chum or something.

he *did* say that I might want to get the notion that the thyroid coming into balance over the coming year is probably NOT going to alleviate the pain I'm describing in every way.

So he gave me a word to 'introduce' into my vocabulary.... arthritis.

*soap opera music*
dah - dah - DAAAAAHHHHHH......

oh well.

I never expected to have been thrown, stepped on, squashed in the horse business as much as I was and escape without it.
So that's no big trama thing for me.

I'm so thrilled to have a doc who will LISTEN ... I don't know what to do!

I hope all of you get a doc like this with an open mind and open ears.

Really does a number on the whole hope factor.
