Her whole personality is holier than thou and communication skills poor.
My therapist says life is too short and to find somebody else (not easy in my town) and my mom said to bite my tongue and stay because I get a lot of benefit out of this office and she did catch that my kidney function was declining. I’ve decided to stay but be entirely business like. I try to be friendly with everybody but I’m done trying with her. Business and yes and no answers only. No attitude - just nothing extra. That’s not my nature normally.
Great news - starting to move around again in a semi-normal way and don’t feel sick today. Corner turned. Now to catch up on things. I’ll pace myself.
I hope everyone has a peaceful day. Much love  |
An NP who is considered with make up.
I haven't used make up for years. That's due to perspiring so much that my face doesn't look OK with make up after an hour.
About finding somebody else: If one finds one that one wants to share one's life with and feel that it is worth taking the chance for a long-lasting relationship that is OK. The problem is that men past 50 often seek for women between 30 and 40.
Wish you luck if you find one, but if not, I want you to know that I feel complete whole as a single person. To put it another way; good if you find someone, but life doesn't go to hell if you don't find a new partner.
Hope you are past the pneumonia now.
