Going to the doctor is my job now. I’ve chosen one that bulk bills and is next door to a craft shop and an ALDI. I find going to the doctor very stressful, so building in these small treats works as an incentive. A reward after being poked or scraped or asked to narrow down 127 different symptoms to the most important one or two today, so that the doctor and I might stay within the 15 minutes allowed for each appointment.

Jesus Pip, what a lot you have to deal with. I’m so sorry things are so bloody hard for you.
But can I just say, your writing is bloody superb. You are such a talented & engaging writer. Selfishly I hope you always have the energy & inclination to share with us. My world would not be as great without you in itxx
I’m wondering if you have tried tapping also called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) for the emotional/mental (conscious/subconscious) side of things. It helps to shift (the shit) & clear the energies 🥰
Thanks for sharing the detailed experience of your day 😃
You make the ordinary so entertaining with your delightful writing. I am sorry you are so unwell. I am a year into applying for the DSP. It is a very stressful process but I found a lot of really useful information & support on the FB group DSP Application Support Group - Australia. Big hugs & kind wishes to you 🙏🌼
Pip! This writing! It reads like a superb work of fiction. I only wish it were, for your sake.
I suffered for many, many years with endometriosis and fibromyalgia. I get it. Feels like it will never end. I'm so glad you've found some delights to make the trip to the Dr more bearable. Meeting you with Gorman scrubs is pretty spesh.
I too add a reward of sorts after visits to doctors and dentists. Please please please govt services, help Pip get the DSP so she can concentrate on becoming well. Your doctor sounds ace...long may that relationship continue! Denyse
Goodness. I wonder if no door signs are for security for the Dr? I understand the fitting into 15 minutes . Sadly our lovely Dr , who did not know how to say goodbye and stay in the time frame , has moved on. We offered to cook meals , mow lawns ect if he’d stay . Alas not .

If only this were just fiction making the frustrations of chronic illness humorous and entertaining.
I hear you and I wish you well, AND lots of beautiful colorful balls of yarn to brighten your day 💝

Pip I was so happy when 1000 words popped up on my email feed, but saddened to read that you are still having major issues with your health.
Life sucks some days doesnt it? Sending kind wishes and virtual hugs, and a reminder that you are an inspiration to so many🌻
