WHAT'S NEXT?

 


That's a stupid title, but it's exactly how I feel. I never know what's going on, or the unexpected turns that fate pulls on us.

I don't want to frustrate you with bogus positivity (which I've often done). Let's all cross our fingers and hope for the best.

I have heard through the proverbial grape vine that I will be discharged soon. This morning the prevailing doctor asked if I'd rather go home or back to Signature. Of course  you know my answer.

The prevailing doctor is rude, condescending, and doesn't like me. I'm nearly positive that she's the same doctor here in Cookeville Medical Center that I saw last summer about treating my hemorrhaging arm.

That doctor was mercilessly rude and crude. She refused to treat my arm....because...she told me I was going to die soon. This upset me so much, that I didn't mention it in my blog.

I demanded to get an opinion from my oncologist , but she said he would agree with her.

Well, I contacted Dr. Sidrys and he agreed with me, and allowed radiation treatments.

Sorry for the detour, but I had to reveal it.

I'd rather have physical therapy at home than in a hospital bed. Going home will involve extremely hard work, but I'd rather have freedom than domination.

What's next?

Christmas??

  1. I wish I could just hug you so. You have been through hell and back 6 times now. So I hope you'll except virtual hugs. The doctor told you that you'd die soon?!?! She should be shot! SHE is one of a myrid of reason what's wrong with the medical field and why she gives doctors a bad name. She ought to be reported to the medical board for such abuse, because that's what it is. I hope she finds herself in your shoes one day and experiences that lack of caring, knowledge and rudeness, and brushed under the carpet like you did. She needs to be dismissed as a doctor, the lousy cow.

    I can't blame you for wanting to be home. pain or not, the comfort of home adds a bit of extra comfort and a tad more bearable. I still wish for you have some peace this holiday season my friend.

  2. I've no doubt you'll handle whatever "being home" throws your direction, Jon. Look what all you've accomplished this last year ... in spite of the witches and ill winds.
    Picking up on what MM said, is there someone, somewhere we can write to report that doctor? After you're safely home, that is.

I love comments. Go ahead and leave one - I won't bite. But make sure you have a rabies shot just in case.
