Hi Robyn,

Good luck at your doctors appointment. I hope it goes well for you. Take a list of everything and check it before you go in and if you have trouble remembering then sneak it out of your bag and check it. The reason I say this...is some doctors think we are attention seekers if we write down all our complaints, they may very well think we have copied them out of a medical book. What ever their stupid reason, usually it is the doctor who has taught these training doctors...that "patient who have lists, usually meant.. we were fakes" so my advice is never let the doctor see your list have it hidden in your bag. Mind you I get my list out infront of my doctor but he knows that the drugs I am on makes me forget almost everything. I wish all doctors were sensible but there not.I just thought I should share this information, as we discussed it once before and the stories of doctors who have treated their patients like criminals all because they had a list of their symptoms. So I think its important we all remember this and protect ourselves. Pain Free Moments and Happy Days,

Belle

Hi everyone

((MARCIA)) That's wonderful news. I'm so glad the surgery was successful and you're not hurting anymore. I know what you mean about the angels on your shoulders - I could feel everyone praying for me last week too. You look after yourself and don't try to do too much too soon! I know I get frustrated with doing nothing, so last time I worked on my latest tapestry and watched old Mickey & Donald cartoons (until laughing began to hurt me!). Find something mindless that'll distract you from what you think you should be doing!

BELLE: Thanks so much for your email address - I'm relatively calm at this point and the dr seemed to think the bleeding was caused by little haematomas (sp?) or haemarrhoids (sp?) just inside and nothing to be too scared about at this point - but he did say to mention it to the specialist.

EVERYONE: have the 2nd opinion apptmt tonight after work. Unfortunately Chris (hubby) is working tonight so have to go on my own (he's trailed along to the last lot and was very helpful - he's got good ears and picks up on stuff I don't always), but I'll survive! Will let you all know how it goes, and thanks for your encouragement.

Love & pfw Robyn P
