After I finished telling her about my new plan, she actually said - and I quote - "I think that's a good idea." I was very pleasantly surprised. :)<br /><br />You're right, there are way too many doctors out there who seem to have the "if you don't just do what I say without question then you're an idiot" kind of attitude, and they don't want you to waste their time with your pesky questions. But after my conversation with my doc yesterday, I'm feeling more optimistic than I have in a long time.<br /><br />I look forward to having lots of great things to share with all of you in the days to come. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413447755151180514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301112655054997734.post-20575691396909170952012-09-14T18:38:19.517-07:002012-09-14T18:38:19.517-07:00Thank you!Thank you!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413447755151180514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301112655054997734.post-23671968923465086802012-09-14T11:03:40.679-07:002012-09-14T11:03:40.679-07:00I hope that your doctor is someone who's under...I hope that your doctor is someone who's understanding of that kind of decision, and will work with you to regain your control. I would think that doctors would prefer patients who want to ask questions, understand, make suggestions, and just basically be *involved* in their own treatment, but I understand this is often not the case. I hope your visit went well, and that your doc will work with you to find a holistic approach to your care.Cherihttp://cherisidlechatter.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301112655054997734.post-52721198144706108672012-09-14T04:02:47.545-07:002012-09-14T04:02:47.545-07:00Good luck!
