Not Everyone Loves Me

Sandy Al-O-Purr - He is not dead.


One of the things that cancer taught me was that I have the right to choose not to do things I don't want to do, even at the doctor's office. And I exercise that right often. I choose to do or to not do, what makes me comfortable, whether or not it is convenient for the medical personnel. If they can make me understand the need to do what they ask I will do it, but if it just common practice I often choose not to. Yesterday I upset the tech at the doctor's office because I would not get on the scale. She told me the reason and I still declined to do as she wished. She made it clear that she thought I was being silly and I made it clear I still would not do it. She was very clearly irked with me and that upset me. I want everyone to like me. Why can't I accept that when I go against the tide not everyone will like me? And that is okay. Except for the fact that she is a pig.

The new blood pressure medicines is working well, I am not dizzy. The doctor and I discussed increasing the antidepressant, and I am still thinking about, because I may start exercising some time soon, but will probably choose to increase the meds when I see him next. I still have a love hate relationship with my doctors.
