Adding A Doc

I get checked out tomorrow by the infectious disease doctor.  We haven't met yet.  I think that's pretty good if you ask me.  Even though I like the doctors I've been assigned, I wasn't looking for another one per se.  I need to get a better night's rest tonight.  My writhing isn't helpful to either me or Bill for sleep.  It's funny I met a woman last fall, a patient in the office.  She heard about my circumstance and she asked her provider if she could speak to me.  She was sweet and kind and thoughtful.  She told me she was a year down the road from her initial treatments and life was beginning to smooth out again.  She needed all the chemical aids too, she wanted me to know.  She had been able to scale most of them back and was feeling much more like herself.  I do feel that I have longer periods of that at times.  I can't say I get them everyday but they are there.  Even though there can be frustration, it does feel wonderful to get really great glimpses of me.
