Saw my Dr today and she gave me the script for the hormones. I knew this was happening and of course have been looking forward to finally getting things underway.
Straight from her office to the local chemist some 45-minute drive, leave the script at the Chemist only to come back to get it and find I am being summoned by the Chemist Lady to have a chat. The good Dr when writing the script did not put any of her details on the top of the script...the area was left blank and of course, they can not fill it without the practitioner number and details. The chemist asked me about the prescribing Dr details and gave her the Name and Phone number. She then asked if the script was for me and as soon as I said yes, her attitude changed, from just being friendly and professional,to being a human being. She understood immediately the sensitive nature of the script and handled it entirely herself. She even took my payment with a polite and discreet apology if she had caused me any distress.
I Raced home, to be reminded as I walked in the door, that my Daughter had been up to see me before the Dr's and bought be a big bunch of flowers that my wife had arranged for me before she went out.... Couple of selfies with the pills and then out to toast the sunshine with coffee and my first dose.
In about June of last year I came to Susans and was in an absolute mess. The only future I could see, was me ending up in a pine box. I found here friendly, helpful and sane(in the most part) people. Thank you Susan for this site, you do a fantastic job at keeping us safe, among other things. Thank you to the moderators who do a fantastic job and thank you to each and every one of you that responded to my posts, you all helped me to find a way through the fog.
One other thing though, I keep finding myself grinning like a fool for no apparent reason...wonder why that could be.
