The doctor that we were going to (that I really liked) became so busy and opened clinics in other towns to where he was hardly ever here. When I needed to get in to see him I always had to wait for a few days to get in or drive to whatever clinic he was in that day. I finally called it quits and went back to the doctor that I had previously. He's from the Phillipines (his wife is actually royalty there). I like him but he doesn't listen too well to my concerns. As soon as I talk about being tired he sees that I have thyroid problems and that's as far as anything goes and I leave fustrated.

My husband goes to a different doctor and he likes him really well. He's in an office with his neice. My daughter, Dae Lynn, was her receptionist for a short time and really liked her. I think that the next time I go to the doctor that I'm going to switch to her.

Living in a small town we don't have a lot of doctors available (we have 4) but we have specialists that come into town several times a month and most of them are really good doctors. It makes it nice to not have to drive out of town.

As for our dentist, we drive to a small local town for our dental care. The dentist is ok but his help is really friendly. We've gone there for years. They were going to build a new office but the receptionist/bookkeeper stole a lot of money from him.

isn't it awful how you have to go to so many different Dr's for everything that is wrong with you. Before mom went into the NH she had a lung, foot,"2" eye, heart, back, diabetic, hearing, dentist, general practioner Dr's. Thats all we were getting done is running her to Dr's. and the meds that they had her on was just crazy. Since she has been in the NH we have cut back to only what is nessasary, she wont be having any surgeries unless it is a life or death situation since that is how she ended up in the NH from a back surgery. She is on half the meds that she was on because one Dr would persribe something and then another would persribe something that would contradict what the other one was suppose to do.

Oh and as i sit here and write this we just admitted mom into the hospital this morning for phnemonia (how come that isnt spelled like it sounds). She is doing good they are doing breathing treatment & antibiotics. I accutally hope they keep her a couple of days cause she get's more one on one treatment there then if she is at the NH.

Yes, it is a BIG chore, just running to the doctors. I have to go to every single appointment, because Gary is hearing impaired and just doesn't hear well enough, even with hearing aids to understand what they are saying or what he's supposed to do.

PNEUMONIA!!! Hasn't she had the pneumonia shot!!!! Like you, I hope they keep her there a few days!

yes she had the shot and this makes the second time she has had it since Oct. It's wierd because this just came on all of a sudden ( makes me wonder if it is really pneumonia) but everything else came back ok, even a CT scan.
Sorry didn't mean to steal your thread.

{{{{{{Lynne b}}}}}} I'm so sorry that you're going through all of this with your Mom. I know that it's hard on you.

Lynne!!! Why didn't you call and let me know. I thought I saw your online light on early this afternoon and when I went back to check it was off. Thought I was seeing things. I hope she gets to stay awhile too, especially to make sure she gets over it good.

My mom is in Florida now....suppose to start the shots and probably the dialysis, but she doesn't even get into the Dr. until Feb. 11th. So far she says she is feeling fine and keeping busy. I wish she would have stayed home.

I got the call @ 6am and by the time i got home i was exhausted.

I hope your mom continues to feel better, hopefully she will get good news from the Dr.
