We have a winner - with a tdoc!

Hello everyone - hope everyone's weekend is either good or at least bearable! Went to new todc on Thursday and I think I've found "the one". I really liked her, she asked pertinent questions, and actually gave opinions and advice. Although first one was nice, all she ever did was listen to me talk and nod her head and then hour was up and it was time to schedule another appointment! Also, this tdoc has pdoc husband (which I knew from research) and she said that they are both available at all times and anytime. She said he has even given home number to his patients! She also gave me homework of writing down a goal or two that I would like for myself and a list, as hokey as this sounds, of things I like about me. Given my self hatred tendencies mixed with extreme guilt, I know this will not be as deceptively simple as it sounds. I am procrastinating till Monday night, maybe Tuesday afternoon before next appt. It'll be nice to finally settle down and get this show on the road, as it were. Now the fear really begins.
The best news - dh has decided on Thursday (I took as a sign about new tdoc) night that even though he doesn't get it - he will be supportive of me and wherever this may lead.
I have not really been on here since Tuesday so have been busy catching up with all the posts. Anyone else other than me slaving for the dh for Father's Day weekend?!
Take care, Kelli

That's wonderful news both about the tdoc and her pdoc dh (surely they won't have trouble communicating with each other as seems to be such a problem with so many tdocs & pdocs).
I am glad you found a tdoc you are happy with. Your first one sounds like my first one. I hated going and it cost me more to be more anxious than less, LOL.
Not slaving over fathers day, I made reservations. My father flies in tommorrow then we take a road trip back to his house in Mass. on Monday with my kids for 3 weeks. So I am trying to pack and clean the house today. Not a lot of fun but it has to be done.
Enjoy your weekend.

IT'S NOT HAVING WHAT YOU WANT, IT'S WANTING WHAT YOU HAVE.
That is wonderful news. Finding a good tdoc and pdoc all in one shot.
The video tape Marci is talking about Kalidoscopes is awesome. I seen it when I was inpatient once and it explaines BP well.

Kelli,
I'm so glad that you found a tdoc that you like. I love that her dh is a pdoc...how convenient! I'm also happy for you that dh is so supportive. That can be one of the hardest things. I don't think anyone can truely understand what we experience unless they, too, suffer from this illness. I don't think any of us really tell anyone else exactly what we go through...at least I don't. I tend to hide a lot from even dh because I don't want to "burdon" him with my problems...or scare him away (if he knew some of my thoughts, he'd run...I wish I could most of the time).
I dispise most of my "homework" from the tdoc. mainly because it brings so many challenges and feelings to the surface. The more trouble I have with an assignment, the more I know it has to be done. I get the same way with going to the tdoc- if I don't want to go, I know I NEED to go.
I'm not really slaving for dh. I've been doing the majority of the work this week because I was the one with all the excess energy. I got dh a hammock...just another thing for me to assemble LOL...I hope he likes it!
Have a great day tomorrow.

It's always nice to have a great tdoc...not to mention a dh that is a pdoc...
And for your dh to be supportive, that is great news !!
I didn't slave over fathers day, but did spend way too much !!!
