Mom from the Country

Being from the country I seemed to have been spoiled by my family dr. I am currently on some pain medication for my multiple sclerosis and my degenerative discs disease in my back and neck. I have been seeing my family doctor for quite some time and each month she would write a new script for my pain meds. I moved down here to the city in August and I began my search for a new family doctor. I found one...sort of. I went to see him to get a medication refill on my pain meds and he informs me that noone in the office can write pain scripts. This is on a Friday and I am going to be out of my meds soon. Not only was he not able to write my script, he was of no help on what to do next. I called my family doc and left a message with her telling her of my plight. So this weekend Lex Fori and I beging our search for an emergency room that would help me. We first went to County hospital. That was a joke. A lot of crazies in there waiting to be seen. People yelling at each other and one man called this lady patient a pscho...she was but he didn't need to tell her that. Realizing that it was going to be a long wait we went to another hospital. It was way out in the boonies and when Lex got a little confused we found ourselves taking the scenic route. At last we end up at a new hospital and I am in and out of there in an hour and a half. With a dose being given to me there and a script for 3 more days I felt like I was getting somewhere. So Monday I get the mail and it is a note from my country doctor. She had enclosed a script for a month and also a name of a new doctor and a pain management doctor also. It seems as though doctors down here are not alowed to prescibe class A drugs. I need to go to a specialist for that. What a bunch of b.s. when I can't go to my family doctor and get help. After all I was used to being able to do that at home. On the up side I went fishing the other day with Sadie Grey. I hadn't been fishing in about 15 years. We were getting ready to go home with the only catch for the day being Sadie Greys when we saw fish jumping. I threw my bait in the water and lo and behold I caught one. It was a bass coming in a weight of probably a pound and half. It was awesome! I was so excited. It was a really good day I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I look forward to going again soon. I really wished Perfect would have been there to see it. He was really happy for me. Well, that's pretty much it for me for the last few weeks. I hope to blog again soon and not wait so long next time. I almost forgot, I was at Lex Foris house Sunday night and she cooked some awesome chicken. She is not used to being the cook and she had found a recipe for the chicken and decided to try it. Hoping the chicken didn't turn out dry like her other attempts she was really glad to find we had enjoyed the dinner a lot. It was really good and I think it prompted her to search out more recipes to try out on us. I look forward to the next attempts. This wouldn't be a big deal except for the fact that she really hasn't done much cooking and her last attempts didn't turn out so well. So on with the next recipes. Thanks Lex for a really good dinner.
