Sigh

Hi AJ,

I'm certain you will get well again, but you've been suffering for quite awhile and I think a trip to the ER will speed up the process of getting well again.

[AJ]

Maybe you guys are right. I just hate to have to go. I think I'll try to hang in there until I see my Pdoc on Wednesday.

[Determined]

Hi AJ. I hope you are feeling better and that your visit to the pdoc proves helpful. Take care

[AJ]

Pdoc was off sick today. She phoned me and said she'll call me tomorrow. It did help to talk to her.

AJ. I'm glad you got to talk to your pdoc and it helped somewhat. Do you think you'll be able to get an appointment soon?

[AJ]

She's going to phone me again today and I have an appt. next Wednesday.

[uni]

Glad to hear you'll be talking to her. So that means a few more days before you can see her again. I hope you can distract yourself when possible between now and then, and don't have to be alone much

[AJ]

Yes I find distractions good. My dog Bella has separation anxiety and I'm making progress with a trainer to be able to leave her at home alone. She is making progress. Today I went to Timmy's for an hour and left her alone. I watched her by remote access from a laptop at home to my cell. Anyway, I digressed, I was surrounded by people at Timmy's and even though I wasn't with anyone it was better than being alone. You're right Uni, being alone isn't good for me right now.

Thanks for the hug.

Hi AJ. It sounds like Bella loves you.

I too find that sometimes just to go for coffee and be surrounded by people is a good thing. Another place that I find comfort is the public library. I go there and write down quotes from books into a little notebook of mine. Anything that works to pass the time until that light at the end of the tunnel becomes visible. By the way, I'm waving my flashlight here - hope you can see it until your own light gets stronger

[AJ]

Thanks Uni. I'm look out for the light from your flashlight.

[uni]

It'll be out here...

[AJ]

Thanks Uni. I see my Pdoc this Wednesday, hopefully she's there this week. Maybe she'll have some bright ideas, if not a listening ear always helps. You guys on this forum have been life savers. I appreciate the support more than I can say.

Hi AJ. How is that roller coaster ride? You know if you sit at the front of the train it ends a lot sooner! The ride isn't as wild either. Hope you are feeling a bit better AJ.

[AJ]

I love your avatar Determined! Here's me making my way to the front of the train, only I have to take a leap of faith between each box car.

Best of luck at the pdoc's tomorrow AJ. My pocket rider services are available any time at no charge.
