Only because it's rather amusing...
I had two doctor appts today. One was for my feet, I have these callouses on the outside edge of my feet, that when I walk the pressure about kills me. I didnt get them until I actually wore shoes that supported my foot properly ( love skechers!!) Well he shaved them off, and told me he might have to cut the "centers" out, if the shaving only helps temporarily. Which I know it will because I have had them shaved twice before and they only felt good for awhile. However, I adore this podiatrist, and hr rocks, so it's all gravy...
My second one, was for a boil on my tummy. Which without being too gross, we have managed to drain twice ourselves but it's so painful I wouldnt allow Celina to do anymore to it. So we make an appt to see a doc in her primary docs office, ( hers wasnt available) to have him lance it or whatever, just make it better before chemo, right?
Oh my flipping hell. He spent 20 minutes asking us if we had considered the impact of my cancer on our family ( after specifically establishing that she and I were LOVERS- yes he used that word) and how it's affecting me, but how much more it can affect her and our children, and are we aware that most people wait until they ar sooo bogged down to use the resources available to them? As a FAMILY doctor, he wanted to make sure we knew that we had options, like home health care, and physical assistance with daily needs, and housecleaning and the like because in 12-18 months, we may need them but we should be looking into them now.
Are you fucking serious dude?
LOOK AT THE BOIL FOR GODS SAKE!!!! FIX IT OR TELL ME WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. I HAVE CHEMO IN TWO DAYS!! I DONT WANT THAT SHIT SEEPING OUT ONTO MY SKIN!!
He went on and on and on, and then reassured me it was okay for me to be defensive and stiff. I guess he didnt' realize he was just pissing me off...
In 12-18 months no one knows where I will be at. We assume happy and healthy! But don't assume just because I have cancer that I am going to fall apart at the seams!!! I still take care of my family, no I don't get the rest I should, but I am still functioning, and doing my thing!! Granted after chemo it's way scaled back but once Im better I am off running around doing my usual shit!!
I really wanted to wring his weasly little neck. But we are still laughing about his use of the word LOVERS...
Some people...
I told Celina, I am so switching to your doctor if I have to go back...The only reason we didn't go to Kims office, is she's just a basic clinic and I didn't know if she would have the tools to help with that AND it's in SLC...
And all he did was tell us to leave it alone, and gave me an antibiotic... Sheesh.....
