White Horse

Yesterday at work, we had a hard time concentrating. And, we were kinda busted on that part from Sr. Tess. She did it in a nice way, but it stung nonetheless. Later, I showed her the email sent out to Dr. M. (And Floralilia). Sr. said to take care of it right away.

We’d given up another session with Dr. M. to younger parts, so hadn’t talked about the physical problems. It’s been something built up guiltily for a couple of months though. The adult connections were then made through email, then we phoned the Family Clinic, I’d been seen at.

The scheduler had wanted to do Thursday, but we wanted to put it off until after CARF (April 19-21). She put me on the phone with a nurse because we were apparently giving her a hard time. Nurse was pretty straight forward. She wanted us to come through emergency, but we refused again on the ground that although the lump is a couple of inches big, its been there already for a couple of months and wasn’t hurting. We compromised with the Thursday morning appointment.

Chances are that it is something lighter like a hernia, but Dr. M. wouldn’t go so far as to offer an opinion. He just wants it checked. He sent a note about us having made the appointment and said, "Good Job!" And, added one of his :-) faces. That counts a lot.  We also called and let our older son know.

After work, our friend met us at our house for a couple of hours. We both battled through quite a bit of the "system" being crabby. Then we started crying and had a hard time stopping. I think we could be described as pretty nonsensical. We were tucked into bed with our stuffed dog to rest the night. Our friend deserves our best apology this morning.

We’re much better now, but feel a little drained. We know we have to pull it together and get on with work this morning. As far as the younger parts and Dr. M. ... Casey used most of the time, but there was time that also went to Annemarie and maybe someone younger. It’s very hard to remember. Maybe in a day or two we’ll be able to figure out more. We know Casey was talking about moats and alligators and a white horse to our friend and we’re pretty sure Dr. M. had something to do with all that.

Boy, I hope April 21 comes quickly. I`m glad you`re in such good hands, but the last few months have been so grinding for you all! Please take care of yourselves.
