I can't even spell Neurologist and now three days later walking out of Baystate not even having a clue as to what just had happened to me was very scary I won't kid yeah! That word has a whole new meaning now folks, now that scary monster in your closet as a child was now that scary Dr you had to pick up the phone and call! That's right CALL!
"Hello Mr Scary Dr Monster, This is Beth Breton. Yes Bethy Coleman from Kittery,Yes I got married, Yeah I know I used to hide under the bed with my little people silly me I know, I know right you did see me under there, How did you do that anyway? OHHH my sisters let you in the house, I always though it was my little brother funny, Yes, yes they've all done well thank you for asking, yup the kids are all pretty much grown, Gary is working doing well, yes he is the boss, thank you for asking. And your wife she is well? The kids they are following in dads foot steps? good, good.
OK it didn't quite go like that but it may as well of because calling a neurologist is maybe the scariest thing I have ever done for myself other then making a mad dash for cover to hide from the Monster hiding in my closet!
I was surprised though at the appointment. My Mr Scary Dr Monster had in deed changed over the years, he had two eyes, two ears and two sets of limbs COOL. Dr K was in fact funny. I mean really funny and like me had a wicked sense of dry New England humor and I liked that and within seconds I felt at ease and knew I was at least going to be OK for this 1st appointment.
My first sign of his humor took me off guard but because I do have the same humor I got it and could laugh. As Dr K was reading my Baystate report. I sat there looking around. I looked at brains, so is that what mine looks like I wondered because my friend Linda at work always tells me I didn't have one and though for just a min she may be right and was this what I had been missing out on all these years? Looked at the ceiling and how the ceiling panels were not regular panels but the sky and though how cool was that! Looked at my shoes, I wondered if Dr's looked at their shoes when they sat in Dr's offices while waiting for a Dr to read their reports or do they walk into a Dr's office and just know what to talk about?
OK this is what I think Dr K says to me. I think the Dr's at Baystate are right and I agree 100% with them. "OH" I say and "what is it the Dr's at Baystate said because they told me they found nothing?" Dr K says "Yes that's right they know nothing and I agree 100%" with one of those smart ass shit eating grins on his face LOL!
So most people I guess would be mad, pissed off but no not me. I was not happy no but I saw the humor like I said and to me humor make me feel good and I wanted to feel good. It worked.
Dr K sent me to the hospital lab where two of the funnest young lab techs I think they called them selves the Asian and the Blond took 23 viles of blood out of me. I don't remember the blood work but what I do recall was those two girls and the trouble they said they got into at work. If anyone from York Hospital ever reads this I want you all to know those two girls are the best thing to hit the lab ever!!!! What a gift they bring to your lab with their laughter and kindness.
