I'm not so sure about your doctor either . I get that some things do have a wait time, but the pain can be helped, so I'm looking at your doctor sideways
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I will cross my fingers for the ENT. She referred me to someone also affiliated with them (the U)...said there were others she could refer me to if they're too busy, but first I have to even TRY to get an appointment, I think! ARGH. Just called my boss who was like "I don't get it, that doesn't mean you can't fly does it?" and i was like "DUH, YES, that's why I'm TELLING you all this...."

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh meara, I'm sorry. The medical profession as a whole, with a few fortunate exceptions, functions with a lack of empathy for patients. I hope the ENT gets back to you quickly, can see you, and actually has the ability to clear this up.
smonster, heartsick is sick, as someone else said. I'm sorry it didn't work out. Not fair at all.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good luck, meara.

wouldn't blame the doctor , exactly. but they are people and some are better at understanding than others and some you click with better than others. I really like my doctor, but my Dh doesn't like her -- he finds her way of speaking cold. I find her practical. so ...
and Dh was annoyed that his doctor took so long to recognizes his problem , until I pointed out to him that he only saw the doctor once or twice a year -- and there was no way for the doctor to understand this was a long term on going problem

Oh, I definitely get that some people feel practicality and some feel coldness (I myself am often very brusque and practical, which is to the point and quick, in my mind, but is mean in other peoples' minds!! East Coast, baybee...). Have managed to reschedule a bunch of appointments, and am now not flying until the 20th. Fingers crossed I'll be OK by then!!!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
That's great news, meara. Fingers are crossed.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Yikes, meara. I hope you are all sorted and feeling all better by then. Actually, sooner. Ouch.
smonster, so sorry. It sucks.

Meara, I'm glad you were able to reschedule things, and I hope you're feeling better soon.
