Appointment with Dr. K! :)

[EmersonAilidh]

Thank all of you!! It's so nice to hear all of this.

My Mom is convinced I'm gonna be a doctor.. But I think I've spent enough time in hospitals. XD

Maybe though! Who knows, really.

 

& I'll call back tomorrow. It's 9:30 here, I don't even know what time it is in Chicago. Thank you all for letting me know! I would have been SOO disappointed but now I can get it sorted out before I go.

 

&, by the way, I do love my cyber Moms on the P.A.N.D.A.S. forums! Everyone always hears me go "Well, on the forum they said.." & I have to explain how often I'm on here & how great everyone is.

My mom wanted me to be a doctor....there have been many, many times that I've regretted not taking that advice!!!

I don't NOT wanna be a doctor, I'm just not sure what I want to be yet! I think I want to be an editor for a publishing company. It sounds strange coming from someone who types "wanna", but I love language, haha. At the same time though I also find a lot of random things really interesting, like parasites & pharmacology.

Who knows. I'm infinitely curious, there's no doubt about that, so I'll be able to pick something & be happy with it when the time comes.

You are a "go getter" and will excel in anything you choose to do!

I have a friend who earned his bachelors in journalism and then went to medical school. Now he practices medicine AND writes a weekly column on medical issues for the local paper... Maybe you will have some sort of a combined career... Whatever you do -I know you will use all your life experience to be very good at it!

[EmersonAilidh]

Thank you!!!

You are all so sweet. Seriously so encouraging. Thank you all. You guys make me happy when I'm feeling blue.

Oh, so this is about what YOU want! I see how it is!

Hahaha, that made me laugh.

[sptcmom]

Thats wonderful news and quite an accomplishment. Congrats! and Goodluck.

I still have that my appt. on the 13th that I can give to you if you want and need to reschedule! I'm not going to Chicago after all. Least not in July...

Called the office earlier today & got sent to an "answering service". They said that Dr. K's office opens at 1PM today, so I'm going to try to call back in half an hour or so.

I'll get back to you on that if they can't just reschedule me, Phasmid. Thank you so much! So generous. <3

[EmersonAilidh]

Called back a couple more times... Still just answering service. :/

[tpotter]

Ask them if the "other" office is open. Then ask the answering service to put you through. I called this morning concerning my son's IVIG next week (about 10:30 their time), and had the answering service put me through to the other office (I never know which one is open.) I spoke with someone in the office. She did say that she would be in the "other" office this afternoon (about 1:00). Keep trying.

 

BTW, did you get the angel food cake (GF) that I PM'd? Did you try it?

[EmersonAilidh]

Got a hold of Dr. K himself, who told me to call back tomorrow at ten to reschedule. :)

 

& I got the recipe! Just haven't tried it yet. We are in desperate need of a trip to the grocery store, hahah.

Went out to a restaurant for the second time since cutting out gluten tonight. Didn't go so well. It's hard explaining to people what gluten even IS, much less making them realize just how many foods you have to avoid. "Well, can't you get fried okra?" "No, that's breaded." "That has gluten in it too??" "Yes, Dara." Hahaha.

 

I'm starting to do better though. It's getting less difficult to pick out gluten-free foods.

The first time I went out to eat I actually asked the waiter "Do you have anything gluten-free??", just got an odd stare in reply. Know better than that now, haha.
