@parus. Never stop trying. Don’t let the negatives overwhelm the positives. I know, some days that’s hard but when those days happen we just have to hold on for the better day that’s around a corner.

Doctors sure are not what they used to be, I think that the hospitals have caused that by not allowing the doctors to care for their patients when they really are sick, as in hospitalized. I don’t see that at MGH but I sure see it locally. When I was inpatient in the local hospital my PCP never once came to check on me, and I was in about four separate times. When I was in MGH, almost all of my doctors stopped by, even those whose specialty had nothing to do with what I was inpatient for. I think MGH expects of them, and they do encourage their doctors to be very caring.

I hope the the biopsy results are good. Keep on treading.

Oh @parus - It sounds like you are having a terrible time. I know for me, anytime I hear the word "biopsy" - even if they follow it with "routine" or something else - it is scary. It is difficult not to feel down in the dumps when we are having physical problems and pain. I hope you just keep treading water and see the light at the end of the tunnel soon. I am hoping you get some relief. I know that the one thing that definitely IS appealing in your world is your little grandson. Have you built anymore dinosaur forests or volcanoes for him?!
