Embarrassing

Monday morning, was quite possibly  the worst morning I have had this year.  I awoke to well...nevermind that. But ended up having to see my PCP, missing yet another day of work, at least this time isn't wasn't due to excruciating back pain. I was diagnosed with urinary incontinence...so adding that to my list of co-morbidities :PCOS, high cholesterol, depression and a diabetic parent, I should be more than qualified...  The silver lining however, is that I finally had an excuse to visit and was able to speak to her about referrals for surgery. You've gotta love this woman! When I was on the un side of my employed/unemployed roller coaster, she was still keeping in touch with me through my parents. Inquiring about my mental well being. Even calling me to see how I was, though I wasn't insured at the time. Well, in any case I wasn't sure how she'd react to hearing about my decision. Her words were, "How do you feel about Albany Med? I like the doctors there." I nearly fell off of the bed. I told her I'd already made an appt to see the Nurse Practioner and she said I'll need an appt for a nutritionist, and without hesitating started writing the info down. Her office is setting up my appt. for me so I just have to wait patiently for it. I wasn't really expecting her to fight me on the issue, but I wasn't expecting it to be so easy.  I must admit, I have a great rapport with her, she's let it slip on occasion that I'm "crazy".  And if I'm being overly sarcastic, she'll tell me I'm being difficult.  I couldn't ask for a better PCP. Dr. Heffernan, if you should ever need one, is the best PCP in Schenectady!!! EEK! sorry such a long rambling post!

Blanca.....

You crack me up!! See I told you to stop stressing.....it will happen. I know you want it like yesterday.....me too. But I just take it day by day.

It means all the difference to have a good PCP.  So glad that things may be looking up for you. Take Care~~ Diane

Blanca, that was NOT a long rambling post! I know how those PCP's can floor you...mine said, "oh, have you heard of Dr. Garber--he's great." I thought he'd just tell me go go on another diet. Go figure.
