Thanks for this. I’m always sending you a big hug as I know you are for me. I’m more conscious than ever of living a life with an Illness or such - especially an “invisible” one. Always felt new situations are like getting into an elevator and there are no numbers - you don’t know how high or low you’re going until you experience it. with an ongoing Illness you have a bit of a benchmark but wwre getting into the elevator way too often. Snd that alone is exhausting. medical folks need to be much more conscious of supporting the non physical stuff. Yes we all make mistakes. But did they also make sure that younger doctor understood you were right to advocate for yourself? Great teaching moment for him if so. Thank you always for sharing your story. Your life snd your heart with all. X
Such a good point that it could have been a teaching moment - I'm not sure if they made a point to tell him that I was right to advocate for myself. It can be so exhausting thinking about the things that you have to think about with an ongoing illness - I'm with you. Thank you as always for reading and for sharing of yourself, too xxx
