......well, that's how I think of it, anyway. I've been seeing my pdoc every 2-3 weeks for the past six months, then went a month between appointments this last time. Now he says I'm stable enough that he doesn't need to see me for THREE MONTHS!!
Seriously, I love the guy to death, but those co-pays have been killing me. I got more than my money's worth today though---I was in there for over an hour, some of it just BS'ing (the man cans his own blackberry jam and makes apple butter!) and planning for how to get through the winter without nose-diving into my usual winter depression. Now all I need is a light box or a dawn simulator, I need to stay on my meds and start exercising, and I should be OK this year. Go me!!
