I don't really feel more distant from her, but she does live in England right now and I barely talk to her even once a month. I mean we talk on Facebook, but as far as hearing her voice it's usually less than once a month.

With the doctor, he and I have NEVER gotten along and he accuses me of "self-diagnosing" when I should know my body better than he does. The only reason I have stayed with him as long as I have was because in 2000 he did save my life. I had a surgery to put bags on both sides of my body for my bodily functions because of my disability which makes it where I can't control those functions and one of the doctors who did the surgery said I'd be in the hospital 7-14 days and it ended up being 6 1/2 weeks because my blood pressure bottomed out during surgery and my pulse didn't go below 170 for 4 weeks and the last 2 1/2 weeks it didn't go below 140 both even with me being asleep. So I kind of think I owe him for keeping me alive, but then again 14 years of putting up with him telling me I don't need what I say I need is ridiculous! Probably means I should start trying to find another doctor if he doesn't listen when I go for my next physical in a couple of months.
