Re: My special place
I’m glad you’re safe @Snowie 💙
I’m about to have a pedicure and a hair cut. The car is being washed so we’ll both be all clean!!
Let me know if I can do anything to help.

Re: My special place
Just dropping car off now @Snowie I might even get my eyebrows waxed while I’m here.
Did you see pdoc this week? I saw mine and now I won’t see her for 2 months as she’s off overseas. This will be huge.

Re: My special place
Oh I so need to get my eyebrows done too @Eve7!
Might ring and make an appointment.
I spoke to podc on Monday. Told him what was happening. He was very insistent and gave me no choice.
That is a long time to not see your pdoc hon. I know they deserve holidays but doesn't make it easy for us. Is there someone else you can contact if needed?

Re: My special place
She said I could see someone else in the practice @Snowie but I’m not sure about seeing someone I don’t know. The other alternative was an admission and I don’t want that as I have my trip on the Ghan at the end of next month.
Sorry pdoc didn’t give you an option but I’m glad you’re home now. Will you have to go back?

Re: My special place
Seeing someone new can be very daunting @Eve7 especially if you don't know who to expect.
I understand how much you don't want an admission too.
Have you still got much to orgainse for your trip?
I guess that depends on me, whether I go back. They didn't really understand. Just get in get out as quickly as possible. Like a revolving door. Just replied with the correct answers, what they wanted to hear.

Re: My special place
It’s hard when the medical profession don’t understand our mh @Snowie That is what happened last time I was sent to public and I just told them what they needed to hear.
i feel nice and fresh with my hair, nails and eyebrows done and the car looks sensational. I’m going to a sporting competition tonight so wanted to look good in case my kids do well and want photos.

Re: My special place
It is hard @Eve7 I guess they just take you to the closest place. I don't know how to respond now. Do I tell them the truth or just what they want to hear.
A new Eve!!! All fresh and ready to go!
I hope the kids do well tonight.

Re: My special place
It is better if we tell “them” the truth @Snowie but I think that needs to occur in the right environment which is not the local hospital unfortunately.
I really care about you my friend 💙

Re: My special place
That right environment can certainly be hard to find @Eve7
I feel like your dammed of you do, dammed if you don't.
Just continue the pattern.
Anyway, how have you been going?
