Doctors and more doctors

Well, last week was marked with two doctors' appointments.

I had my last (hopefully) doctor's appointment with my back doctor on Tuesday. We are both agreed that the slight discomfort I have sometimes with my leg and hip is going to be with me forever, sadly, but is something we can both live with. I of course live with a nagging thought in the back of my head sometimes that it is a repeat of the condition I suffered from last year, and will once again slowly get worse, but then it gets better, or something else grabs my attention. The pain I lived with over the fall and through the winter last year was terrible, and the situation with having two surgeries in a month's time was even worse, so I think I am allowed a little nagging thought every once in awhile.

My other doctor's appointment was on Thursday with Dr. Kroncke, my gynecologist. I love going to his office, because they always act glad to see me and are so nice. I know that sounds strange, but in a day and age where nurses and PA's and even doctors shuffle you through to get their days done, my gyno's office is really a nice trip. Sadly. They remember things about me, even if they are written in a file, and they act glad to see me. Did I say that part twice? But it's nice. And I really appreciate it.

But the second appointment went fine, just waiting for the notecard that says the tests came back negative. Fingers crossed.
