Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Hi, Spoke with Larry's doc in Portland today and guess what? We will be in Portland on Friday at 1pm. He wants to see him as soon as possible and when I tried to put it off just a week he told me no. Doctors just don't understand that you can't always just drop what you are doing and drive from one end of the state to the other. I was and still am in shock that we have to be in Portland in a day and a half. I feel like I am falling apart. I had a major anxiety attack and hyperventilated for the first time in awhile. Just don't know how much we can take. Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Hi Michele, Unbelievable! Was it your local doctor that removed the packing yesterday? I guess he called the Portland doctor. I'm impressed with both doctors for their fast action. From things you've said, I really feel like you can trust this Portland doctor to know what is best. Maybe he can do something quick to prevent something worse from happening. Good Luck and Best Wishes, > Hi, > > Spoke with Larry's doc in Portland today and guess what?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Hi , Yes, it was our local doctor who removed the packing, treating the infection with drops. He scheduled an appointment to see Larry in 2 weeks. I was the one who called Larry's doctor in Portland (our local doctor and our Portland doctor have NEVER spoke once about Larry. He was in surgery but his nurse emailed him and he emailed her right back saying he needed to see Larry right away. My chin hit the floor. I stuttered, couldn't think, made no sense. Just can't believe it. Dealing with 2 doctors is getting more confusing by the day, considering they haven't even spoke. I'm wondering if one doc would call the other and discuss what happened yesterday maybe we wouldn't have to go to Portland just yet. Everytime we have to make a long trip I have to call my brother to take us because we don't have a reliable car and I feel like a burden to him. I never dreamed I would have to call him on a Wednesday and tell him that Larry needs to be in Portland Friday at one pm. I don't know what I would do without my brother. He always says no problem. Don't worry about it. Well, I do. He has an annual fishing trip that he takes with his buddies that was paid for last year and it is either this weekend or next. I asked him if I was messing with a fishing trip and he wouldn't tell me. I just feel like such a burden. We're adults and should be able to take care of ourselves and we could if all of this wasn't going on. Thanks for the best wishes and luck. We really need it. I sincerely don't know how much more either one of us can take. Michele --- <melissa2541@...> wrote: > Hi Michele, > > Unbelievable! Was it your local doctor that removed > the packing > yesterday?
