Maryhou, I talked to my mama (81) last night and she said someone ought to slap your doctor in the face. My mother by the way, is a RN, or a retired RN.
Meanwhile, what is all this talk about "BAD" back. Bad back. Bad back. How bad my back is.
It is what it is. Don't give it more character than it needs or feel like a bad person.
My mama's right.
I am thrilled you have a friend to go with you. btw, by 43 I realize people are more grown up and giving than they were in our teens.
There will of course still be pills in the world but hey. aw, I don't think of my back as a "bad" back. What are you trying to do, separate yourself from us?
If your back is "bad" does that make mine evil and someone else's good? I see a woman's back in a movie and I appreciate how beautiful it is but I don't think in terms of good or bad. I think of straight and what might of been and how pretty a woman's back can be. I don't feel that mine is ugly however.
None of your read, "Looking for Mr. Goodbar"? Diane Keaton, who plays the character, has a moon shaped scar, in the book aw. The movie is not a pick-me but has little to do with scoli, and more to do with freedom in the 60s.
Maryhou, so glad your new doc moved up your appt. That's humane. When I finally got my appointment, when I had the MRI in hand, I thought it will be good to know what's what.
I do feel conspicuous for having a "severe" degenerated disc in my spine but that's because despite the literature or a doctor's a assurance to the contrary, I remain a tad "paranoid." That has to do with other people and their own need to reassure themselves, in my family, that it won't happen to them, or hasn't happened to them because it was of course, my scoliosis, bla bla. I choose to believe in my highly educated, experienced, knowledgeable practitioner who has presumably "seen it all" and still seeing it.
I love the way my doctor was showing me the MRI and the smooth "pretty" cartilage between my vertebrae, oh except for there. It was a clinician's point of view, no "bad" or "good" just not there. I don't know how he had humor about it but he did and it made me feel solid.
Maryhou, you need some action and control. Google etc. office location, and pick out some sights or a place to go to lunch. I find "balance" of thought a good thing. I didn't get a lollipo after the MRI so my husband took me to lunch. Heck, just saying the name Amarilla Amarillo can be fun. Can you joke about it with your friend?
aw, hopefully my posts will give you some squareness between now and your appointment. Your new doc is NOT going to talk about your "bad" back, okay girl? Come back on the playground until someone tells you it's time to go. You've set your appointment, you have a friend to hold your hand but also someone who might like to eat something. Remember how in our youth we had some humor? How else to cope. I could use more humor.
Mama gets the first slap, for your doc being unprofessional and uncaring. I get the second for him making you feel ugly and disposable. Rather than expose his own inexpertise he blamed you. Linda? You in for any thwacks of your own? Who else? I will not be complacent at 43. I will cry when I want to. I will be brave when it is appropriate.
