That makes the situation so much worse. I did reschedule for Tuesday at 9:30. I need to get off my own back and give myself some grace. I did not follow up with my doctor after the wreck either and I’m having some ongoing problems there. I’ve mainly been helping mom recover. She is still on pain killers and she has deteriorated. That also depresses me.
I hope everybody has a peaceful day. I appreciate you all. It helps me get out of my head and focus on other things - good and bad.

Does your gastro know that it’s depression keeping you from getting the medical care? I don’t know if that’ll make a difference on their end, but I know if I was thinking “I might die not getting this health problem treated” and intentionally didn’t get it treated, my docs (at least pdoc anyway) would be flipping their caps.
