timer lady
Queen of Hearts
then crashed. GP & I went out for a round of golf - she & I played, talked, laughed & had a wonderful time. I came home to an empty house; crashed seriously for 2 days.
Didn't get out of bed - spent the time crying & sleeping. I expect it was such a "normal" day that I so rarely find. I'm hoping to find more normalcy in my life.
GP is a delightful lady (I knew this before being her patient) & we talked like crazy. Homes, plants, gardening, children, & then stopped to golf. The course was almost empty because the weather report kept saying rain & t'storms. Never happened. We nearly had the course to ourselves.
We had promised not to discuss icky stuff from either end & we didn't until the end of the game .
GP & I sat in the parking lot barefoot (we were changing out of our golf shoes & hadn't brought our regular shoes in yet) & discussed my health. She is pushing to get me into in patient rehab as that has never been done. A pain clinic that will help me survive with the pain. She doesn't believe, knows I'm not addicted to my pain medications. She's seen me in pain & when I've taken my medications. I'm far less foggy when I take my medications - I'm not crushed by pain.
She wants 3 months of PT, speech, Occupational Therapist (OT) & psychiatric to help me move on with my health issues.
In the meantime, she & another colleague (who knows me well) were discussing me before GP left for the course. He suggested that we try doxycillin (sp?); there have been a lot of reports put out by the MN dept of health with reports of the rash I have along with the neuro & weakness (aside from the brain injury). He was thinking of me when he read the report & did some research. There are other insect related illnesses that I haven't been tested for & he'd like to see me have the tests but in the meantime start on this medication. Lyme disease has been rule out several times but they will do a more sensitive test along with several others.
I'm to take this medication (which seems to help with symptoms) before the test is even taken. Can't hurt at this point.
A beautiful day with a wonderful lady & a possible lead on my health issues.
by the way, since she brought up icky stuff I got to lecture her on her work schedule & made her promise to take off another day this fall for a round of golf (she did). She was an architect before she went into medicine & is coming over after the living/dining room floors are complete to see how the remodel turned out.
(I golfed a 39! - best game ever this year.)
