Thanks for this encouragement! I do enjoy podcasts. I haven’t listened lately, but that’s something to keep in mind. Do you know of any to recommend?
I have some tv programs I enjoy and I listen to music. I do have my mom and brother who are close by and they are very supportive. And a few friends who take time to visit when I’m not feeling well. I have a weekly commitment with my mom on Friday nights. I go to her home with my dog, who gets to play with her dog while we have dinner and watch movies!
I’ve been dealing with another health concern for a couple months and I finally had an appointment with a specialist yesterday. I have a procedure next Thursday and hope to feel better after! I will be glad to get this behind me.
I’ve actually had a few pretty good days. It’s so encouraging! I do try to keep myself focused on what is helpful rather than the pain! I’ve learned how to do that over the years. As you know, some days are more difficult than others.
I’ve been treated pretty awful by a couple pain doctors recently as I look for a new one. I don’t understand that attitude and behavior. With everything I go through as a chronic pain patient, I will not see a doctor who doesn’t treat me with respect as a human being. I guess it’s good to find out on the 1st visit rather than later! My search continues!
