terrys's Journal

Useless week so far.  Dr didn't do things we talked about.  We got side tracked on a couple of issues and didn't get around to the rest and a couple of things we barely touched on but none of these things were ever followed through on.  I have called and left messages re these items for the nurse but have not been called back.  I did undergo an unpleasant procedure during the visit which took a godawful long time and was highly painful though successful at least in the short run - this is the second time and she only half jokingly suggested i make it a yearly thing.  And she did order an ultrasound which i had and which was negative so good news there.  So tomorrow I am going to the clinic and camp in the waiting room till I get to speak with the nurse in person.  In the meantime I have been reading journals - and hugs - and gaining strength.  I am grateful to everyone who has written.  It really helps.  hugs to all.
