After so many years of - "You're fat - try e diets" and rushed doctors appointments no matter what doctor it was - I have apparently grown a spine and am really letting health care professionals have it.
Not in an ugly way - but in a curt, polite - my money is as good as any others kind of way. I found an eye doctor that actually gave me a FREE re-exam today and has not rushed me into buying a years supply of contacts OR glasses because...he wants me to be 100% sure I get the best lenses for me. My eye exam was in May - I went back today for free because - the lenses he fitted me with - were right in may but due to the diet, the medications and lowering my blood sugar(s) (whatever is proper there) - the stronger lenses were no longer needed and neither are the bi-focals.
WIthout sugar - I don't need the bifocals as much. OMG I literally could cry. Last time I was sure I would leave with a white cane and a German Shepherd, this time I left with a prescription 1 & 1/2 times LESS than I came in with. Amazing what a little caring will do when doctors actually take time to give a whirl about taking care of you.
I'm a little happier today for the first time in six years about me - and it's not the Welbutrin ladies - well it may be - but I'm still a little happier.
Even if there isn't anything in my mail box.
I opened it.
I looked.
Nope.
I shut it.
Huh daisy...lol
So take it from me - if you are not getting the health care you feel is helping you - MAKE SOMEONE LISTEN....and it's been a struggle - It's been six years or more for me. I'm finally starting to feel a smidge better. Today to be taken care of and not feel pressured into buying a box or 10 of contacts and leaving and actually not being charged a dime with lenses that fit - made me feel just cared about -
Everyone should feel at least this good once in a while.
Hugs
Oh and I'm typing this without the aid of dollar store glasses - HA.
