Who is a good patient?
Q
Comments (13)
My DH and I recently left our internist of a dozen years. He failed to offer me the Prevnar13. He failed to admit me to hospital after I was in his office two days in a row, coughing my lungs out. He had prescribed three different cough syrups over a seven-day period, none of which helped. Eighteen hours after seeing him I was admitted via the ER, dangerously weak and with a minimal oxygen count. I was in hospital four days with pneumonia. My DH and I have always figured this guy was no whiz kid and merely 'OK', but waited too long to move on. We'd been 'assigned' him after getting a good review on the whole practice of which he was a new member. I've been the 'good patient' too many times in my life and have been seriously harmed for it. Now I work to inform myself before blindly following orders. I'm a good patient when I have a good MD -- and I have had two very good ones in 70+ years. I'm hoping my new internist will be as good as friends have said she is. (On my first visit she administered the pneumonia vaccine.)

Help me be Patient in Finding a House

Thanks for the additional input, everyone. Re the city, yes we are very familiar with it. We currently live in the suburbs of that city. The area we're targetting is walking distance to stores, restaurants, parks, a grocery store, and a bike path running through the city that I bike on frequently. A long time ago, before kids, husband and I lived downtown in a different city, and I very much miss that. We have been "wandering" between open houses for a year or so, but started getting serious in May or so. And yes, we have a realtor who I formerly practiced law with, before she transitioned to being a realtor. Husband and I have been planning to move into the city after we retired; the change is that I decided about two years ago (after the early death of a family member) that I wanted to move sooner (while we're both still working). Lovely spouse and I had the "moving train" conversation months ago, and he understands this is a deal-breaker for me. Hubby's "I don't really love it," I've been thinking it means "I'm not mentally ready for this," but after sitting on this for a couple of days (we had some family issues arise), he seems more positive. He does tend to be a "no" person, and I tend to be a "let's figure this out" person. The questions re my being in a rush to move are very good questions. I am definitely an unreliable narrator, but I moved up my time frame some time ago, then delayed it due to other family matters, so this is not a new decision. Just that now, with last child on to the next phase of her life, we can pull the trigger on the next phase of our lives. Developments on the house front. Realtor agreed with hubby that the almost-perfect house that we viewed was a lot overpriced, and that we can sit for a bit, we don't have to jump on it. She's communicated with the selling realtor, who I assume has been told that we're possibly interested, except for the price, and that if we put in an offer, it would be very strong, with only an inspection condition. And of course, we hope the selling realtor will let us know if she gets, or is about to get, another offer. AND, two other houses came on the market that fit what we're looking for, not as wonderful as the other house, smaller, with fewer bells and whistles, but much lower priced. They are both less than one block outside the area we've been looking in, but in a direction that's acceptable to me and the realtor - husband will see how he feels about it when we view them tonight. My list of wants/needs is shorter than his, and I'm a small house philosophy person anyway, so I would be ok with either of these places (if I liked them after actually visiting). Regardless, they will give us something to compare the other house to.

“Patiently” waiting for SDLM to live up to my expectations!
Q
Comments (26)
I appreciate everyone’s input. That bush shot was somewhat out of focus, I agree! Erasmus, your SdlM is gorgeous! I honestly believe the past two seasons for mine are atypical. Ordinarily, even in the spring the blooms are gorgeous. I’ve had SdlM since 2013. I left it potted up until 2015, I knew it needed to be in the ground. In 2015 and 2016 it remained relatively small, but in the beginning of the 2017 season took on a huge growth spurt. For the first time it set on about fifty buds and of course I was looking forward to seeing all those gorgeous blooms, the timing wasn’t good, because about the time those buds were beginning to open we had over ten inches of rain in a short period of time. In 2018 the blooms opened okay, they were a very pale color, almost white. It’s out of the ordinary to have that much rain here in a short period of time. I’m not sure why they weren’t their usual pink color in spring 2018. I live about sixty miles west of Tulsa, our weather is very similar. Tulsa Rose Society says SdlM is the best OGR for their area. I believe it’s proven itself here also, just had a couple of beginning seasons that were out of the ordinary, and when the bush itself was coming into its own. It is very healthy.

Good Night Dear Heart! I'm sure your fingers are all tuckered out!

I know mine are. I have little pains coming off the outter side of my right hand. I call it "mouseittis". I've been transfering contact information from emails to a spread sheet for my class reunion this summer.

But I didn't just partner up 60 plus people! UGH!

Me, too. Yeah! Guess I should have checked here before writing that on the FAll Swap announcement thread.

I, too, was checking until the moment I went to bed. And then again as soon as I could pry myself from daughter this morning. Now I know my swap partner - and the fun begins.

Thanks Virginia. I knew that you hadn't received the email I sent because it was returned to me. I figured that I would hear from you by Monday. I've sent you your partners name.

I took my laptop with me to the mountaings so I could check my email. The bad news is that I never found wifi to connect to the Internet.

I'm home now and was excited when I got my swap name. Thanks AnnT.

A few notes..LOL I have a whole notepad sheet of notes. Then rewrote some more specific ones on another half sheet and keep it in my purse. LOL
I can't decided what "local" thing to send.
I've got the handmade/homemade down. I even know where to go for a look at books.......It's the which local item would be best...ISSUE...

I knew I'd have to hit a snag somewhere along the line. LOL

I also have a whole sheet of paper full of notes. I feel like a stalker as well because this person posts in places besides from cooking. Some of the conversations were interesting but iZ think I would have given myself away if I posted. LOL

I have way to many local things to choose from. Being a tourist destination and quaint to boot Vermont has a lot. I really need more info to narrow things down. I figure my partner has until the weekend to answer any questions I may have by posting. What is the likelihood they will stumble upon the info I need? Otherwise I will just guess.

btw, in the interest of Market Research I treated myself to a cup Lake Champlain chocolate Aztec Hot Coco. Yum, but not really spicy.
