dr visit

[meg321]

Hi, i am so excited but i havent felt like writing.  i saw  my Dr. yesterday and he has refferred me to the ms clinic at UCSF. So I have an appt for Oct 28th...i am so very happy to be going..its another step in the right direction.  But he also got my  c-scan back and i have an infection, aspiration pneumonia so i have another test tomorrow. I cant remember  exactly what he said i have to call and ask again.  I cant remember s**t , its very frustrating.

Anyway is my latest report..i had a question but forgot what it was....

hugs, meg

I had to laugh because my husband cant hear and he went with me last time so he is almost useless and he hears things wrong too. But on other hand i remember nothing,
Now that you brought it up, it has become a problem. I cant remember what he told me about the pneumonia.  So i emailed him yesterday.
But i am glad you mentioned it because i will take him anyway and he has to drive me to the city, its 3 hrs and i get sleepy.

I am so grateful for all the responses and love that is shown on here.

now i need to go for my swallowing test..

hugs, meg

Hi Meg,

Hello Meg! I'm no so sure I've said so yet!

I'm so glad to hear you are making progress.

Don't beat yourself up over what you did not get done because you are feeling badly, it will only make it worse. Stay excited over the small things you accomplish so you can feel some small gratification - k?  It will help, promise.  You making plans to bring someone with you to the appt? That way you don't have to remember everything yourself.  I'm so glad I had someone with me when I went to my 1st visit, but I did not realize how important that was until afterward.

See you around!

Thanks, i had not even thought about taking care of myself. I ha.ve felt the same for so long.  Its such a hard thing to deal with, how do you know why you you feel bad one time and better the next. I am so perplexed and have so may things to do and like today i did nothing. Tis is when i get depressed.

thanks, i will try to be able to add something to this forum one day..

hugs, meg

I am glad to hear you have a referral to an MS clinic - that may very well be the difference in getting your questions answered.
Keep us posted on your pneumonia.
Later,
Lulu

Take care of yourself and I hope your appointment goes well the 28th. I hope you get over that pneumonia. Make sure you take all your meds that they give you for this and watch for worsening symptoms. I wouldn't want you to end up in the hospital.

Take Care and I hope you feel better soon.
