Doctors...  This morning I saw the orthopedic doctor about my hand again.  Last month when I saw him I didn't feel like he listened to my concerns before sending me on my way.  Today I brought my son-in-law.  Today I felt like he took the time to listen to and answer my questions and concerns.  I am not sure if he ever saw my comment from my last visit or not, but I am happier with today's outcome.  He wants to follow up with me still and seemed to have forgotten that I was there at the recommendation of the neurologist and that I still will be following up with him in July.

A few year's back I was going with a relative to her appointments with her as kind of an advocate.  We were with her cardiologist going over all the things that had been happening with her and he kind of wanted to know, but mostly wanted to know if it was anything that had a direct relation to her heart.  Which on the outside makes sense, he was the cardiologist, that is his specialty.  So often though we had been finding overlaps.  It is all one body after all, made up of multiple systems that have to work together for us to be healthy.  She had the cardiologist, a nephrologist, a hematologist, a vascular surgeon, gastroenterologist, and of course her primary care.  There may have been more and spell check is telling me some of those are not spelled right.  Anyhow, sometimes a condition is obvious and other times there are underlying causes.  In my opinion the specialists don't always look at the big picture, and should.  That is what all this rambling was getting to.  Thanks for reading.  :)


Today I cleaned my room.  Over the last week or so I have brought back things from my house to here and I went through some of the stuff and organized it.  My happy today is a more organized room.

I forgot to take pictures when I was out today,

So you get a Pokemon.  :)
