Finally saw the new doctor today Mood

Thursday, May 15, 2008 | A General Update story

Well today was the day for me to go to my doctors apt. I sat there for a little over an hour waiting on the doctor to see me. Turns out my doctor never sent the films to the doctor I saw today. So there was not too much he could do for me until he could look over the MRI's and Xrays with me to explain what is going on with my back. I started to think great this is a waste of time and gas if you can not help me today. But turns out it wasn't he looked at my back and the way I walked and I guess noticed something. He thinks that the doctors and techs might have missed something. So he told me to try and get my films and call the office when I do get them and he will get me back in ASAP. He called it the patient VIP list and he made sure the secretary knew when I call to get me an appt right away. This is the first time I have gotten a doctor to take me serious about my back problems and doesn't think it is all in my head. He also told me that he felt really bad about not being able to do more for me today. I have never gotten a doctor tell me that. He wasn't able to prescribe me any pain medicine just yet because he is afraid of it masking my pain and me not knowing if I could have damaged the back more. So I understand a lot more now why he doesn't want me on any meds just yet. He said when I do come back in is when we will figure out exactly what is going on and what medicine will be more helpful for me and also which treatment will work the best. I think I have found me a new doctor that I am gonna stick with. It felt so good to finally find a doctor who is willing to take me serious and try to help me get back to my old self. I used to love going out on the weekends when I could and go to a club and dance I never really drank much maybe one or two I mostly went to just dance. I miss it so much and I miss being able to take my daughter for walks or to ride her bike. I am hoping he can get me fixed and all better or at least to a point where I can handle it and it is not disrupting my life. I never thought that there was a doctor that actually cared about there patients and were not doing it for the money, but for the patients that they help. This has made things a little better for me now to know this. I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will hopefully be on tomorrow. Big hugs for everyone. :-)
