I got my stitches out this morning. It was the first time meeting that doctor. He was really nice, close to my age, and *cute*! I lied to him about how I got the cut, as I have everyone else except my T. After leaving the office, I stayed in the parking lot for an hour and then took in a note to leave for him volunteering the truth that the cut was self-inflicted. I included one of my T's business cards so he'd know that I do talk to someone so it's not like I'm not doing anything. Well, this doctor evidently did get and read my note and then called my T, cause my T called me this afternoon saying that he just talked to this doctor and wanted to see how quickly he could get me in, though we just talked the other day to reschedule an appointment and he already knew my schedule. He plans to call me if anything new opens up this next week, otherwise we are still on for Sept. 19th. I left my T a few voice mails this week on what was going on and he didn't call back. This MD called him and now its a serious issue. I was threatened to be sent to the hospital, and told to go to the ER next time I want to do it. (Yeah, right! That's NOT going to happen!) In talking to him, I got the impression that this doctor was pushing him (or, barking orders to him) to be more serious. Don't know if I should I be happy or scared.
