Re: A day from hell - thank you all

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to thank everyone for their support and kindness

following my " day from hell " on Monday. I'm sorry I haven't thanked

you sooner, but the past few days have been a spent trying to get my

head around all that has happened and deciding where I go from here.

I am arranging to see this GP again if just for closure and the vain

hope of having him admit he has failed me, after that I will try to

transfer to another doctor. It's been suggested I try another doctor

within the same practice as it would be a lot more practical locality

wise. I may try this but I'm not sure whether it will be possible and

have to confess I'm not sure it would work out or I'd be comfortable

with a colleague of my offensive, neglecting doctor.

I've been checking out a few other possible and intend looking into

them further - possibly even arranging to talk with them to see if

they know about EDS or would be willing to learn and be flexible

enough to work with me. I know for sure that I have to move on form

this now though as I simply can't take the risk of putting my health

in the hands of a guy who has failed me on several occasions and I

feel I can never trust. Life's too short as it is without adding to

the risk. It's not going to be easy and will involve a lot of

upheaval and probably a harder time getting too and from my medical

practice - but it has to be better than giving this guy another

chance to make me a buried mistake.

I'm hoping now that the issue I needed addressing with my geneticist

will be covered when I spend my week down with Prof Bird, if not I

will contact him myself. One thing I'm not worried about after all

this is treading on peoples toes! Thank you again to everyone for

their friendship, hugs, and advice - it helps more than I can ever

thank you for. By the way, Cindy C I will drop you a line off list to

talk more about our shared problem with doctors!

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I'm doing okay and growing

stronger emotionally after this latest battering. I don't think I

could keep picking myself up without you all though. Many, many

thanks to my " family " .

Love and hugs always......Jo
