another appointment

[seizuregirl]

I have an appointment tomorrow with the epileptologist in the twin cities that was supposed to refer me back to last neurologist I saw in my city so I wouldn't have to make my Father take a day off of work to drive me down to see him.

But I guess the epileptologist either never tried to refer me back to the dr up here or perhaps the dr up here may have said "Oh, heck no!" to seeing me lol since he had practically pushed me out the door when telling me about the epileptologist that could be of better help than he was.

I will admit, staying with the epileptologist is better since neurologist's don't understand my epilepsy, but it'll be frustrating to say the least since I last saw him was almost 2 years ago. I think it's gonna be a long appointment.

seizure girl I'd just stop going to your neuro if your not happy with him.

I got the refeeral number since I have to have a refeeral for every specialist I see.
Which makes it a lot easier to go through my cell phone call for a refeeral before I see the doc.

The neurologist is fine, and so is the epileptologist. I can stay with either one of them, but most of the frustration is just having a dr in a different city, especially one 2 & 1/2hrs away.

When I reminded my Father of the appointment, I got a very frustrated sigh from him, with a pause, another sigh and then a subdued, "Ok." and it makes me feel very guilty to have him bring me there. I know his job is one that's very important for the state, he deals with the settlements for those injured on the job and has offices in both our city and at the main offices in Minneapolis. He really only uses the main offices for when he has difficult settlements that are brought to the twin cities to finish up.

I had set the appointment for late in the afternoon, hoping that maybe he could even work in his Minneapolis office until my appointment, and then return to his office to finish up what he could.

I'm hoping that he'll talk to the dr to convince him to refer me back to the neurologist so there won't be so much stress for him. I know I shouldn't say this, but I could care less who I see. Heck if the neurologist would see me and could consult with the epileptologist when needed, i'd be fine.

If I had an appointment with the neurologist here, I could go to work with my Father, he can drive me not even a mile to the hospital, drop me off and go back to work and then pick me up when he goes to lunch or after work. I'd have no problem with that lol, and I don't think he would either!

What a awesome father!

In many way's he is awesome!

There are too many way's to list, it would take me all night to make that list about how great he is, not only to me, but to the rest of my sister's, step sisters, step brothers, and his own brother's and sister too!

We've talked many times about how I would rather have him bringing me to my appointments, only because I have 2 older sister's who would try to take over the appointment as if they were my guardian and I wasn't able to speak for myself, or wasn't able to take care of myself. When my Father will sit back during the appointment and will only add a few comments or ask questions here and there when he thought appropriate.
