Hi - I didn't know you could do that? But I did and got this message: Sorry, this user has opted to not receive email via their profile. I am better today, not so angry. I have decided not to decide (commitment is diffcult for me) until after my surgery on the 6th. I did call the first tdoc back (that I changed from) and apologized and asked her about expectations. It was a good conversation so we'll see! My dh made a joke about it last night and that just set me off again but I realize he doesn't know what he's talking about so let it slide. He's from a small town and all about the "stigma". I'm organizing a massive ribbon cutting ceremony for tomorrow with the mayor speaking and about 600 people to feed and entertain so that's why I've not been on the email a lot. Probably won't be at all tomorrow. Between that and the surgery - 5 days, yeah! - I'm really busy. So I am putting it on the back burner for now as I am overwhelmed at the moment! How are you?
Hi Kelli, I fixed the email problem so you can try again if you want.
I'm glad you got in touch with the first tdoc...it might be good to have two to choose from. Mine was chosen for me and I lucked out- I really like her. I'm also glad to hear you are not as angry.
Sorry if I'm slow, but what surgery are you having? I must have missed a post or I'm dense. Whatever it is you sound happy about it (unless you are being sarcastic). I just hope you are ok is what I'm getting at.
I'm sorry your dh doesn't understand. Unfortunately, I've got one of those too. DH is great, but he is either in denial or I'm crazier than I thought! I don't think anyone can really understand if they are not in our shoes. My dh thinks after a year of visiting a tdoc I should be cured of all that ails me but, that hasn't happened, so he doesn't get why I still go (if it isn't working, why waste the money).
Wow, what an undertaking it sounds like you are involved in...ribbon cutting ceremony with the mayor and 600 hungry people! You do have a lot on your plate! I hope it all goes well for you tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you!
To answer your question as to how I'm doing...I'm trying to convince myself that I am fine. I made the step to call a pdoc just to find out the local hospital will only see you if you see a tdoc there (which I don't). I tried to call another private practice and they are moving and won't be in until Monday but there is a good chance they won't see me either since I don't see their tdocs. If I can't get in there I'm giving up...it's not worth it to me. I don't want to take any more meds and I'm not going to waste a ton of energy begging a pdoc to see me. I guess I'm in a mixed state right now. My mood changes sporatically- sometimes I last a day in a mood, sometimes a few days, sometimes a few minutes. That's what's concerning the tdoc. One minute she tells me I need to stay on the antidepressant I got from my GP(2 weeks ago when she saw me) and when she saw me this week she said I need something to stop the racing thoughts, hyperactivity and lack of inhibition. I can tolerate it usually- except this weekend I got really agitated- depressed and manic at the same time and that was really confusing to me. Anyway, I'm ok. Can't wait until it gets cooler here (my classroom does not have air conditioning) and until school ends next week. My students' last day is Thurs. and mine is Fri. I'm looking forward to the break from the classroom. I still have to work part time over the summer but I don't have any kids...I just do odds and ends (this year will be packing for our move). Hugs, Peg
Good afternoon Peg! I'm with you, I'm trying two different ones and will go from there. They both have evening hours and that was a major roadblock in the others I contacted. I don't know how other FT'ers who need help can get it with most tdocs being 8 to 5. I am having a partial hysterectomy (just the muscle) tomorrow and it's been 2 years of serious problems so I am hoping by eliminating this, my life will calm down. I am really looking forward to it!! DH, DH, DH. What a weekend. The ceremony went off so well that my bosses got up in front of everyone and said what a wonderful person I am - they went on and on. The one didn't even mention his wife (he got into trouble for it!) but they all remarked how terrific I am to them and for them. I was on a complete HIGH! So I got off early and picked up dh and dd and went to friend's house and I guess I was driving them crazy cause everything went downhill from there, friends included. I guess I wouldn't shut up because I was asked too. So you can imagine how that whole scene went. I told dh I hated him, more than once when I don't. Then Saturday morning, dd had a fever of 104 and it has been up and down since so I am taking her to ped in a few minutes. Plus work is really squeezing me to get everything down in next 4 hours. But of course dh nor mom (who is watching her today) could get her to the doc. Why do I have to do everything? So Sunday, dh says do you hate me and I said yes but not as much as myself and he says why? there is nothing wrong with you. Ever yell into a canyon? Do we have same dh??!! Please don't give up - we'll stick together! Bosses are back, must go - I will be online from home from Wednesday on. Hang in there! Hugs, Kelli
