| APRIL 11, 2000 Today I had an appointment with the neurologist. She signed my student loan off. Since the loan was for me to be something I can no longer do, they said they would write it off if the doctor said I was disabled. LOL... If... yeah. She wrote the RX for the Betaseron so I will probably start that first part of next week. Oh physical examination, she said my eyes were still jumpy and my right leg was just no good. She agreed that there was no need to get the ENG for the Meniere's. Now, for the new stuff. I decided to take a picture of me in since she, as well as all but one doc, have not seen me except as I am. Get this!!! I am not fat. She is absolutely certain of it. It is the steroids. I told her I had been taking them for 22 years without a problem and she said to consider myself lucky. She said it is quite evident to look at me and see it was not fat. I have steroids written all over my face and I would not be able to diet it off. I would have to exercise it off. That's when things went kind of down hill but they did go back up. She asked how I was doing on my exercise and to remember she really wanted me to have physical therapy but had to settle for me doing it. Well I told her that I got up and walked when I had to refill my coffee or get rid of it. She wasn't too happy about that. Then she asked "you don't get up except for your coffee" and I told her I was perfectly happy to sit in front of my little computer all day long. Then comes the shocker... She knew me by reputation as a nurse. Mike pipes up about that time and said that I love paperwork which I do and she asks if I like numbers. I'm like yesss... She said you would be perfect to do medical billing. To which I replied long as I could work noon to 8PM and she sits there just a nodding. You can just see the gears a running. So, I wonder if anything will ever come of this. So... And that's about that. Except exercise!!!... because you are battling too much now and with all your problems and all your meds you're going die if you don't do something. See you in 3 months. |
You are listening to Memories from the musical Cats, written by
Andrew Lloyd Webber and T.S. Eliot. I felt this song was a perfect
selection
for this site because of the affiliation I feel with Grizabella. Although
for her,
it was age and not health issues that changed her, neither of us are who
we
were before, on the outside, and it can affect how we feel on the inside.
