Return visit to doctor resulted in a trip to imaging as to who knows what? Scary as I had them before. Tomorrow at 2. What next? Back in a week for results and a different doctor as the one I am seeing is leaving for Haiti. The one seen prior to the assigned doctor freaked me out so much with her uncertainty-not her again!!! We ought to be able to feel safe and confident when seeing the secondary to the pcp. Stressed to the max. No one to ask for help. Suck it up coward and just go get it over with...the noise is dreadful for me. i know for most this is no problem. My vision goes to black and white---I can do this.
@parus - I had to quit using the earplugs because they were bothering my ears. A lot of people like to listen to music with earphones. I use them sometimes when I want to listen to a link online, and my wife doesn't like it when I just play through the speaker. I can hear everything around me with the headphones on - I don't like the ear buds - so I don't feel closed in.
I enjoy reading your posts and responses in the group. You bring out smiles with your words and pictures.

Looking for new PCP. Have a bladder issue and was given PAP by another because she had never done one. I wasn't there for PAP, but one was done for practice-I am not at risk so no harm done as the one being instructed seldom gets a result and now seeing a specialist tomorrow-why I was at the PCP to be referred. Yes, I feel used and have been cramping for 2 weeks now. Abuse never stops. Just wanting to disappear. Things like this should not happen to anyone :(. Have got to get through another exam tomorrow.

I'm so sorry to hear that you have another one of life's hurdles to face! I am glad that you are seeing a specialist, though. I hope that this specialist will treat you with kindness and respect and that you will feel comfortable.
We would love to hear from you after your appointment.

@lisalucier@hopeful33250 Wanted to check in and say the visit with the specialist was respectful, caring, kind and professional. A positive experience. Thanks to all for the support. Bladder issue not as bad as told and no surgery needed. Whew. After the other experience I went forth with great trepidation. Now I will not mind one bit if I need to go back. The doctor even had a student with her and the nurse asked if it would be okay if the student came in with her. I felt safe and cared for. 🙂
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL.
