Grateful For Day 19

I am so blessed to have a physician who takes care of me and rarely charges me for the visit. He takes time with me to answer my questions and boy do I have questions at times. I think health care providers make the worse patients! :o) He is such a blessing to many and is always willing to go the extra mile. For example, today he worked me in even though his schedule was already really tight. His nurse, Heather, is also a blessing. She has helped me out so many times with scheduling issues. I've been in school and then at my new job for a year. Many times, I'm trying to balance not missing work, seeing my scheduled patients (I hate for patients to be rescheduled), and being a single working woman. This year, I've had a hard time financially, and he is always willing to call in scripts to the cheaper pharmacy, Thank you hardly seems to be adequate for all he and his staff do for me. Tonight, I am grateful that God placed us together. I actually met him through an ex-boyfriend (he was in med school and knew Dr. D. personally) when I was going through my first round of Crohn's and trying to determine the problem. Tonight, I am up with the same "thing" going on. When I saw him today, he mentioned we may need to explore my gallbladder as being the culprit. UGH! I truly hope not. My goal is to NOT have a surgery in 2008! (Granted my last surgery was on December 27, 2007! :o) However, if that is the problem, I know that God has a reason for my needing the surgery. So, I will praise him and say THANK YOU to both a great earthly physician and the great physician! :o)

so wonderful that you have this kind of care. medical issues can be such huge trials and worries, and to know you will be greeted with caring, conscientious doctors and nurses goes a LONG way in giving grace. i'm praying your no surgery in 2008 goal will be reality.
