Last Thursday, I went to see my neurologist. I’ve been seeing this particular doctor since I was fifteen years old. Over the years, he & I have developed a relationship of mutual respect & admiration.
I knew that this appointment with him would be my last. For so long I had been seeing him once or twice a year with periodic update emails in between. I knew this didn’t mean goodbye, but it was still hard for me.
I feel so lucky that I have been blessed with such caring doctors, nurses & other medical support staff. I have always been treated as though I were a member of their own family. I have always known that they are an email or a phone call away, if I needed them.
To say he went above & beyond his job requirements is an understatement. I’ve had many crazy ideas about my future. He always listened & knew just what to say. The future has come and now it is time to make my ideas a reality.
I am honoured to count this doctor as a friend of mine. Although he is no longer captain of my medical care, he always has my back. It puts me at ease, knowing that he is there for me.
