Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Hi Elaine, Thanks for the note. This is very hard changing doctors. Actually when I spoke to my old primary he told me to do what was best for me. I was a little surprised at his attitude. But I simply can not afford to keep the other insurance, especially when he doesn't take insurance. School well we will see, I am nervous about it. Of course it all depends on finances and if I can get financial aid. So I should know in a couple of weeks. I love historic preservation and that is what the program is about. So we will see. I am not telling my kids until I know for sure. With my new insurance I don't see the doctor until May. With this insurance I need a referral to see my rheumy. So I have to wait. I am just taking care of the knee. Taking all the advise I got here and just being careful. I am going to try and walk today. I read that walking is actually very good for the joints. How are you doing? I hope things are good., Lynn Original Message: ----------------- From: elainho demarn@...

I've had to change doctors because of insurance and it isn't easy. It has to be even more difficult for you because of your long relationship. I do hope the new doctor will prove to be all that you expect and want in a doctor. As for school, that would be wonderful. You deserve a space just as much, if not more, than any other student. You've probably worked harder than anyone else...........so go for it if it is what you want. It certainly sounds like a perfect program for you. Hope your knee feels better. Is the wait because that's when you can get an appointment or when your insurance becomes effective? Do you think you could call your old doctor and ask him to call in a prescription without seeing you. Under your circumstances he might be willing to help you. Elaine --- In , " ruf-caimi@e...
