Third Times the Charm

So I have an appointment with my doctor today. I again have a chest, sinus, possible infection thingy. I'm really tired of being sick. This is the second time that I've gotten it since I came back from Sri Lanka. It may have to do with allergies. Steriods definitely make the symptoms go away but I want to know what is causing it not just mask the fact that it's still in my body!!! Is that too much to ask?

So I've had a distain for medical doctors for most of my life. Part of it I think is that my Dad hates going to see the doctor. He has to be half dead before he'll go. The other part is that when I was little I got very sick and what the doctors prescribed didn't help me at all. I ended up having to go to a naturalpath who helped immensly and I recovered probably with better health than I had before. I guess I developed this theory that doctors are not very helpful which fueled my dislike in seeing them.

While I was in Grande Prairie for my sister's wedding I went to see my old doctor. All the memories I had of him were negative. I surmised that because what was prescribed before didn't help then he must have been a bad doctor. Well I was wrong. I couldn't have been more wrong. He is a wonderful doctor who takes a lot of time with his patients. He tried all kinds of things when I came to him with this problem. He wanted to much more but I was only there for a short period of time.

When I go to my appointment this afternoon with my doctor I am going to apologize to her for not being a good patient. I'm a really sucky patient. I rarely listen to what my doctor tells me. I think I might buy her some flowers. That would be nice... she deserves them... she puts up with me.

Well I'll let you know how it goes.
