Rene - Re: disappointed with my ortho consult

[Guest guest]

Yes, we must be the same.... everyone else is supposed to be patient

except for me because I have OCS. ha ha I think in my upbringing I

learned that theoretically the world doesn't revolve around my

immediate and pressing every need, but that doesn't stop me from

thinking the world needs to change because it should! Between the two

of us, however, it wouldn't know on which axis to turn. Sigh....

It's hard to see it this way, but it is reassuring that they are

being so careful with your case. You want that! You don't want

someone overconfident and cavalier.... even though you'd get some

kind of results faster.... regardless, waiting is tough business.

Oh, I too have totally dropped into my OS office wondering if he

couldn't just squeeze me in to take a quick peek??? And then pouring

thank yous all over the place like rose petals on my way out for

everyone being so kind for accomodating me and fitting me in that

day. Ha HA Fortunately both your OS and my OS are nice and are

willing to actually see us right then and there! I'm glad your

surgeon is being really supportive of you, and I read in another one

of your posts that your father is also being supportive and finally

getting the picture. It is really really hard dealing with people

that don't get it. This process has enough of a psychological

component and toll on one's emotions without constantly having to

defend and justify one's self to those around them. I know what that

is like, so I'm glad your father's on your bandwagon now. Good!

Ok, well I'm still sitting on my hands, except for typing this,

hoping you get your appt. at UNC right away!

Take care!
