Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Hi Everyone, Well, I went to my Dr. this morning and we had a long talk. He had me in tears, but he is the best Dr. I know! He told me, "You will always be sick, this is just a fact." When I teared up he reached for the Kleenex and told me, "I don't mean to upset you, but it's just the facts." I said, "I know. It's just so hard to hear over and over again." We discussed a lot of things at length. He decided to have my "wound care" done in his building by a Nurse Practitioner that was the head of Wound Care at our hospital. She is supposed to be really good. I trust my GP with my life and I will trust in her as well. I have high blood pressure because of the vascular disease he feels and because of the emotional stress I am under. He said that depression is very valid in my situation because of the severity and chronicity of my health. I am trying to be strong, but these past two days have been very tear filled one's. My left lower leg is wrapped in a "wet cast" with this white gooey stuff and then it's got another dry covering over that. This has a lot of different healing things in it. I don't know what all of it is. It's also supposed to help the circulation in my leg & foot as well to help promote healing. Let's pray it will work. I will have to wear this until Friday morning when I go back to the Dr. at 11:30 a.m. My GP also said he was going to call my former Rheumatologist himself and talk to him at length about what has been going on with me these past few years and to ask him to please re-consider taking me back as his patient. I don't think he has been made aware of everything that has gone on with this Associate of his. My GP said that he was going to tell him how much I trusted in him and that his care was the best I had since 1992. The fact that I was handed over to his new colleague is NOT working out, and he refuses to treat me for anything. I am going on two months now with my leg like this. What an ass this man was. My GP also said that if he doesn't want to, he will find me a good one. Even if it happens to be one in Temple, he said the drive would be worth it. I have to agree. Anything is better than the abuse and neglect I am getting from this other Dr. My GP is also going to call & White Research Hospital in Temple, Tx. today and talk to the Doctors there to see if he can't get me in right away as a research case and to also see if they will take my insurance. My insurance wasn't on their list, but he is going to try and see if he can make this work. He didn't want me to have to travel all the way to Minneapolis, and to be frank with you, I would rather not. This is only a 2+ hour drive for me. PLEASE PRAY THAT THEY DO TAKE ME! I really need this more than anything I have ever needed in my entire life. I just want to be well again. I need to live as close to a normal life as I can. I just can't go on like this anymore. I have tried so hard to put on a front and to act like I am okay, but the truth is I am starting to crumble emotionally. Thanks again to all of you who have been so supportive of me during all of this. It has been a rough start to a New Year already. I couldn't have done this without your friendship, love & support. I will keep you all posted. Until then I must take some time to rest. All My Love, Lorrie Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
