My Republican Doctor Took Care of Me with Care

HEY, I'M LOOKING FOR A LITTLE SYMPATHY HERE--AND I'M GETTING VERY LITTLE!


 

I
scratched my arm two days ago and because of taking blood thinner
(coumindin) it really gets messy and takes awhile to repair--problem is I
am having with results of home test--last time that happened I had to
go to the hospital--so I made an appointment with my primary for
Thursday to get it tested there and to see if eating grapes, taking
extra doses of Vitamin D, calcium and C play a PM non-aspirin for the
pain in my feet, are affecting the PT count.




But
before that I noticed a black circle--mole like--on my left leg which
seemed to come out of nowhere--immediately called the dermatologist and
went up there yesterday--he took a biopsy and said he would have the
results in 2 weeks



Then to add injury to insult I got a paper cut on my index finger yesterday and it is red and sore today as if infected.



Did
I forget to mention that I woke up Saturday and my right ear seemed
block? Tried a few of the drugstore remedies plus some
peroxide--nothing--still blocked up (And where did all that gray hair
come from? I use to have it sprayed in to make me look older, more
distinguished not it just makes me look old!)





Oh
well I wasn't going to the doctors until next year so, hopefully, my
primary can take care of everything tomorrow--meanwhile can I get some
sympathy?????





It's
Thursday evening and it all seems to be falling into place. My primary
doctor gave me a prescription for an ear infection, told me to leave the
arm unbandged and that I'll just have to put up with the paper cut,
which he said hurts more than if I got stabbed--Thanks Doc! Now I just
have to wait for the dermatologist's report on the biopsy which really
doesn't bother me--now!



I
spoke to my doctor and all the wild rumors being passed around by the
Republicans--he said as far as he is concerned, regarding me as a
patient, nothing--and he spelled out nothing--will change. He said I
will be treated as fast as I have been in the present and with the same
care and concern. Why wouldn't I trust this man who has seen me through a
congestive heart attack, an aorta valve replacement and every ailment I
have had since (he thinks) I've turned old! He, also, happens to be a
Republican!!



Went for lunch at the Sea Watch after--on the beach--report on Saturday!

No sympathy here... but do be careful with the dose of the rat poison.
You did know what coumindin is, right?
Yup, gotta be careful.

Yes I know what it is--have been taking it for 13 years and it has helped keep me alive!!

Here is some more sympathy. Paper cuts are horrible. You can't leave it alone, can you?

Paper cuts are the worst not to mention it is on one of my typing fingers and I hunt and peck!!

You will always have my sympathy.Sending you good wishes there on the test.

Warmest sympathy, Martin. I hope the biopsy comes out okay and the paper cut gets to feeling better. There is a Bacitracin Ointment with pain killer available. It really does numb the sting for some little bit, and I've always found it to be very comforting.

Ah, some sympathy at least--thank you!!!
Because of the cumindin I have to be careful of what over the counter drugs I take.
Actually the arm looks a lot worse than it is but that paper cut!!!!
