I FINALLY had my dr appointment today. I was assured I had no problems and that sometimes the explanation for my symptoms is that there is no explanation. I saw the nurse practitioner and not the specialist himself. She gave me a breast exam and that was pretty much it.
So, now I know it is okay to ignore my discomfort as I had intended to do before I was referred out. I guess.
I have now had three appointments as an uninsured individual. You do not get the same level of care as an uninsured patient as you do while insured. Regardless of the mission statement that is posted everywhere you look.
moving on............................................................

I had a lot of things I wanted to say this evening but now that I sit down to write I can't get my thoughts organized...
My daughters are in D.C. with their father. When I called them earlier, they were at the Washington mall looking at "the tall, pointy thing." @@ One thing I will not take away from their dad is that he loves history and will scour every inch of that place he can and share it with them and teach them. They may feel bored at the time, but later they will appreciate this trip.

I have lost someone that has been a part of my life the last two years. It is not my choice but I know it is for the best. I hate it when i am wrong about someone. I have been wrong about this man. He is not the person i thought he was and no matter how I spin it, he never will be. Yet my heart skips whenever my phone chimes. Then i feel so sad that once again, it isn't him. He is right in his action but I am having a real hard time accepting it. I know I will get to the point that he will just be someone I used to know. But I sure wish it would hurry up... This hurts.

I am so sorry about the man you lost, hon. I have worn your shoes so know how horrible and miserable a thing it can be. Miserable as you are though you at least are able to acknowledge his decision to be right. You're much wiser than I was when I was younger. I hope soon comes quickly, that it doesn't take as long as you think it might in order for you to be okay with this. Hugs, if it helps any. They do me, even long distance ones.
