they are disputing my doctors interpretation of the blood work and dx'd me with diabetes and a Urinary Tract Infection instead. Also, what my doc regards as delirium, they say is cognitive confusion created by depression and medication side effects... but when I started talking metabolic pathways with the er doctor her eyes glazed over and I got the sense that she had missed that class at med school. She said that she was only interested in the structure of the organ, not its functioning. (I look good but haven't worked in a decade - so all must be okay on the employment front with that logic hahaha). I have to keep having full bloods each week for the next few weeks.
I'm really enjoying Anne Dreveson's book Resilience (2003), some simple gems:
Quote:
*When the truth is finally recognised survivors can begin their recovery p108
*Being locked in anger, even if it is submerged, eats away at the body's natural resilience, chokes the flow of energy and love p120
*An apology does not lead to an expungement of past wrongs but through acknowledgement of those wrongs, it provides a basis for healing p121
*Reference to a book Adaptation to Life, by George Vaillant p 134.
*The pdoc said, "I don't want to hear all that again (referring to the patient's numerous deficits). That's his illness and we haven't been able to change that for years. Tell me about his strengths, we would do better to work with those.p 137

It's not rocket science but it help me refocus on what is important and help get me to acknowledge my traumas without being consumed by them. - Now I think of it, I might put it on my PTSD thread. Thanks George - I hope you are having a joyful, connected weekend
