Some people shouldn't go to the Doctor!!!!!

With my arthritis, I have lots of specialist yeah for me right? Not always so. On Monday I got to close my daycare down and go and help with Spencer's pre-school. Highly enjoyable we had petland, they brought in 11 different pets, and told the kids about them let them touch ask questions. Very cute i loved every second of it. Then I got to go the See Dr. Robinson my ruematologist !!! Well first off I had to fight pretty hard to keep him, he closed down half his practice and yes I was moved to a new doctor. Now all of you who know me know that didn't fly with me so I got on the phone and in the end (a month of phone wars) got him back and I moved over to the health science centre. Me very happy until Monday when it finally hit me that he might not be happy that I fought so bad to get him back, me a little scared walking into the office where I was greeted with warm hearts from the nurse. Me trying to be as nice as can be how can I tell them I'm here without letting them know my name? Well I did have to tell her who I was with which response I got of yes I know who you are.Oh I say and quietly follow her to my little room. There I sit for about 15 min. before some strange doctor comes in. Hmmm he tells me he is doctor Marcus, me thinking Dr. Robinson has gotten rid of me again, so I smile and ask him, he informs me no he is the resident who will be giving me my exam!!! Me I didn't know there was going to be an exam. Dr Marcus just smiles and tell me it is routine. Oh Okay!! so we start. Now Im nervous because I hate exams so during the exam I blab. So as another side note there is a resident in our ward doing it on internal med. Which is what i am under so Dr. Marcus knows Arron. So here I am telling him about our religion because I had my special underpants on which he got to be introduced to how embarcing really? Im telling him how we don't drink and some how along the conversation i asked how many were married? He took it as how many wives he had I meant how many in the program were married just a big mess really is about what my day ended up being a very funny day but a mess none the less. We also talked football and how Winnipeg lost the grey cup so sad to bad. Then we talked about how I have a daycare and he said those poor kids!!! what does he means? At one point he told me I could keep talking and when he came back he would start nodding at me again!!! AHHHHH he wasn't even listening to me blab on and on. Poor guy seriously I was a mess. Then Dr. Robinson came and and decided that he was going give me a needle in both wrists and that should help the pain I was having. Well who just sits there and lets a man stick a needle right into the joint of the wrist. Ahhh not me I kept taking his hand away so Dr. Marcus had to hold my hand what a baby and I was a baby. then Dr. Robinson let Dr. Marcus do the second wrist so I ask him if he has ever done this before. He told me I was his first!!!!!!! What did they not just see what a baby I was the first time? so I let him can you tell, I liked him because I would have told him no other wise. So now both wrist are awkwardly sore but a little bit better then before there is a resident out there who thinks that Mormons do practise polygamy and that we wear special underpants which he saw and had to help me with since I CAN'T put my hand up the back of my shirt to pull it down. Plus I told him he had to remember me because I WAS HIS FIRST WRIST. Hmm make you wonder if really it is all worth it? well I'm not sure it was either. Maybe next time I'll be better. I don't think so either..........

  2. So funny Trish.... I could picture the whole thing. I know what you mean about having to have an unexpected exam...once it happened to me at the Chiropracter... pretty funny when you have on a tank top under a sweater and some extra white stuff hanging out. I was too embarrassed to even tell him. By the way who the heck has to have an exam at the chiropracter!!
    You are very brave about the needles...hope things are better for you!

  3. You are so funny. It is good to see that you have kept your sense of humor over the years since we've seen each other. You are one tough cookie, I certainly wouldn't like those needles either. Sounds like you kept them hoping in that office. :-)
