So, I had appointment with a podiatrist because my toes were having a problem. My Mom did NOT want them to turn in to sores. I made the appointment because even after I changed my shoes, my big toes were still hurting!
Me seeing a podiatrist, makes the 13th doctor that I have seen. Lucky 13! I told my Mom that I am THAT sick. She disagreed, but then I asked her, “How many people do you know who see an endocrinologist? Because I’m seeing one next month.”
I am seeing the endocrinologist virtually so I don’t have to pay for a van rental. I know the appointment isn’t going to be much so I can just do it virtually. I am a ‘rule follower’ and I had my bone density scan done and we’re going to talk about that on February 19.
But, seeing this podiatrist, he was running so late and I did not like that at all! I remember a urologist made me wait over an hour, almost 2 I think. That one wasn’t that long but he told me I should just see him ‘as needed.’
We were at the doctors office late because he was running late. There was a traffic jam in the hallway as I was coming out of the exam room. A woman with a walker was trying to leave her exam room as I was in the hallway, so I just moved myself to the front desk and I just waited by the side as my Mom got ‘combobulated’ (that is still a word from Sean, I think he was five?) in my exam room.
There was no one in the waiting room so I struck up a conversation with the receptionist about this freezing cold! I told her that I am homebound and I only leave my house for doctor appointments and I had to have a doctor appointment today?! We both talked about how cold it was, but I was happy that I got it done in spite of this temperature:
I messaged my new podiatrist over the weekend for some type of topical cream for neuropathic pain. My right heel is starting to feel weird.
So, get this, he told me I should talk to my neurologist about a ‘Lumbar radiculopathy L5-S1’ whatever that means?! I messaged him back and asked him if that information could be gotten from my recent bone density scan or if I need to make another appointment? I sent him that message after 5 o’clock so maybe he’ll message me tomorrow because I have a podiatrist because I am that sick now.
This is a lot for me to deal with to say the least?!!!! #ItSucksToSuck!!! #MSsucksAfterTwentyFiveYears!!! 😒😒😒…
