Well as simple as it is, here I have found that being inside so much since arriving back home that I would be phobic of all the people. I just threw on some simple clothes a warm jacket and I took a taxi there and when arrived there I just looked at things within a way that I this is temporary. However it was great just to be there the as mentioned the clinic is a very large on and I thought I would have some agra phobia going on but it wasn't the case something good is happening within this. Before all of this I used to have some phobias and I would always take water with me as sometimes I would drive there and feel like I could not swallow. Ironically I thought to myself who cares what others thing as I am well onto my plan and I have been had much time to come to some understanding of things.
The staff of clerks greeted me and that is a first. That certainly was a surprise but at that time I knew that they all knew most probably that I had been hospitalized and it was very nice. Thereafter I took a seat and within ten minutes I was called in and then just waited within one of some 25 rooms. I am sure everyone has seen a doctor and the kind of set up.
Ironically she greeted me with a smile and said, "that wasn't too much fun was it?". I indicated to her that it was the most humbling experience within my life". She then pulled up things on the computer and asked me about the entire situation and said that she was awaiting on others email to her, but aside of that she pretty much knows and has gone through it all on one of her days off as well as medical staff had called her a couple times.
This is the first that she has really go onto things. Mind you I mentioned that this really took some time and she said everything now is all set up. However why it was set up what due to my calling and making the set ups. Yet I didn't mention that to her I only mentioned how things are now. I listened to her and she had taken half an hour with me as I did fall through the cracks with her and all the specialists have been lined up for the twenty third as she had contacted them and she wanted me to do exactly what I am doing as I explained it to her and as well she had opened my file to all the doctors within the clinic, it was something I thought was worth it and this came about nearing the end of our conversation.
Obviously there was some concerns that came to her by way of the hospital as well as with a few others within the medical practice. So it worked out just fine. I had mentioned that this is truly a life time experience and within the manner that I take it is either upwards or downwards after all of this. I told her I don't want a pity pot but rather I do wish to have some assurance that if there is a problem happening I don't have to head off to emergency in order to get help or for it to be left that long. She agreed.
She asked me what I plan on doing within the next month of the five that she believes I will have complete functionality back. I told her as I think I have mention within here my plans. By this time we were both very relaxed and were talking more on a human one to one basis and she indicated not to miss any appointments that are now set up with some professionals and as well she said that codeine I am allergic too and that most probably that combined with several other things since I returned (family) all added up with me.
When I talked about my own holistic plan she started to smile and she said that you are really one that is doing it and your plan is better than what most would even think of doing. But she said from now till next week to just take one more week and take it easy & just take it easy. She asked me how I feel mentally. I said aside of things that each day it does get better. As well, I indicated to her that the sooner that I get into a gym if only for half an hour the better. She said not for a month or not till I meet her within two weeks as she had sent me to get my blood work done and thereafter she would get back to me.
I know today there would come that thinking of so many things and then after I arrived there, I know I wasn't all off on this as she could have done this much earlier before this all came about but now it's all done. I was very honest with her and I am not going to assume anything with my doc, but all I know is that as of today this was a very important meet. And between now and next Tuesday, I just take it to the next stage. I was told to take a mere aspirin right now and she will be following up to the specialists with regards to my case for a second time and I never need to head to emergency as if I feel that there is something coming on at any time she said just come in and there is always a doctor on.
So this was good. I have a tendency to think to much on important matters as such but then who doesn't. So I arrived home and I do feel great as I took a little nap and stopped over and got a some things at the grocery store and my next goal within two weeks is to be able to do three hours of volunteer work at the hospital.
I can and I shall.
I am so glad this was a good experience and some of the issues you feared were averted.; This sounds posiive
ReplyDeleteI pray for your healing and for the right doctors and prescribed meds in all of these. And stop drinking coffee now, or at least just half cup. That would be hard for you ... i know. But you have to. hugs tight :)
ReplyDeleteAll things are within place and Sharon this is great. So tomorrow I walk, I don't waiver, but it's all within sensibilty.
ReplyDeleteIt's truly postive....
"all's well that ends well" amigo-----
ReplyDeleteIronically much of this is going to be holistic, and I will get a call after I my blood is all done I am on a small dosage of plavix and that is ok.
ReplyDeleteI shall be in the gym if it's just for a small portion of my day as well I shall be doing some volunteer work to just re integrate after all of this.
I do have a plan here one often thinks on what they can't do. Yet here too it's trick the brain and do it.
Si!
ReplyDeleteIt's ALL good!
ReplyDeleteWalking is vary good. Just take it slow at first
ReplyDeleteIt's ironic in some ways but there are things as planned that I am addressing and I won't be in denial that I have had apprehensions with some things and this is the time as set out that it is going as planned. Yet I know Summer that it I can't just dwell on this but it's all as mentioned before I know that this is truly breaking down all the barriers within my life and re entering into life. I really don't know what I was thinking when I was just going out for the last year and just taking pictures but then again there were several areas that either I tend to them now. As I have done since the hospital or I don't it's all with regards to not over thinking it all. Just within doing it.
ReplyDeleteWOW jack! I'm so happy things went so well. Your persistance and insight have paid off. Smiling for ya. :D
ReplyDeleteStep One is now all done and onwards one goes Kimmy. Smiling back!

.well done jack,,it sounds as tho..you both got an understanding,,,and got on well in the end,,you sound relieved!.[hugs]]
ReplyDeleteI woke up this morning and then just got on with it thereafter. And tomorrow I have a few calls to make with some old friends, especially one.
ReplyDeleteI bet your friends will love hearing from you, and it will do wonders for your recovery, as well! Good for you, Jack! :)
ReplyDeleteChances are some will and some wont, I know that some shall. One can make new friends within a variety of good places. The places that we find joy are the places in which we do find commonalities. This is why the gym as well as perhaps three hours of volunteer work in a short period of time within the hospital may have a trickle up effect. I think I mentioned that there are good friends in life as well as ones that are not really friends as it's at times when one has some mishap that they come to know whom there past friends where as well as never forget that one can make new ones as well. Right now I know within the hospital system as well as the gym there are people that as soon as I am there it will be terrific. Yet I do believe that the volunteering in just a little while will be one of most benefit.
ReplyDeleteOh I could just stay on here all day but that is not going to be the case. Nor is it, as I am grooming upwards. Time has a way of telling all.
Geez that sounds so philosophical, but we do live right now in a lessor community minded state.
keep your chin up and keep on smiling ~ take care ~
ReplyDeleteChin is up and going to call a few people and but first enjoy a cup of coffee. It's only 8:30am here Michelle.
