rabidsamfanWent and saw the new endocrinologist today.
And I must say that I'm a lot happier with this one! She's better at explaining what and why; she wants to hear from me if something goes strange, even if it's not on one of her days in the clinic (she has two children under the age of three); and most importantly she won't commit to a certain schedule of things because her attitude is that it all depends on what's going on with my body, not some ideal patient in the ether.
Yes!!!!!
I told her that I'd think about what she said and come back if I had questions and she was genuinely happy to hear me say so. But mostly it's that she explains things. She even explained what the other endo was thinking when she wanted to skin the time down. But the new gal wants DATA! Lots of DATA! She wants to know what the numbers are and what my symptoms are too. And she explained what will happen after the radiation more clearly too, and did the math in front of me so I could see what she was basing her calculations on.
This, says I, is going to be the start of a very good thing!
*bounce!*
Of course I also started the Low Iodine Diet today.
Let me just state that to the uninitiated tongue, no-salt matzo crackers are absolutely dreadful...
*bleah!*
