Grandpa,s tired of Doctors

For the last ten years I have listened to the Doctors and when they said we "think" you need--And I said O.K. And the next thing I know I'm in a hospital bed with a zillion staples up and downm my legs and back or down my chest. Did all these things do me any good? I guess---maybe--who knows? Anyway I,ve got this small spot on my head which would not even show if I had my hair. However Grandma did and said if I did'ntt have the doctor look at it she ----. So he did and said "I don't know what it is, but I know a guy. He did'nt know either but he says" Lets cut a l;ittle hunk out of it and we,ll send it to the experts. They were'nt sure either so they send it to a lab in S.C. They're not sure either-looks like lymphoma so they send it somewhere else. They're not sure--maybe it is. Sends it back to the guy. He says"See an oncologist." So I do. He says lets take some blood and if it does'nt check out we'll do a full cat scan. They must really be fast because ten minutes later the nurse said your cat scan is scheduled for next Tuesday. This morning its snowing so I called and canceled everthing!!!! The mail brings the bill for the "guy"600+ dollars Wonder what all the labs and the oncologist will be. And yes I am fully covered AND that's my point.

I know what you mean when it comes to medical treatment around here. I never did get to the bottom of what was causing my problems, so I have given up. One Dr. says this another says that. It's all just too much. Try not to get down though. You seemed very happy and healthy to me prior to having those tests done, so I think right now it's all about how you feel not what someone tells you. =o) Cheer up... blue skies are ahead.. even though it's chilly outside!
