When mine left her practice years ago, I was devastated, and I don't even have any real health issues. It was a bit like getting a divorce. It took me several years to get a new one. In fact, I kept putting it off for so long (years), that finally they just assigned one, and he was very nice, but not quite what I want in a physician. I just didn't feel like I could tell him anything other than, "Yes, I'm feeling fine." Finally, after much nagging from my family, I selected one I had know when she was a young intern, and now I am quite happy with her. I remained bitter at the first one for leaving for quite a while. <br /><br />As to the dog showing, I imagine that was a tough decision to make. I felt similarly about nursing. I loved it and couldn't imagine my life without being a professional nurse, but again, after nagging from my family, I decided that the time had come to let go of that. I have no regrets. When I hear my former colleagues talking about their troubles at work, I am happy now to be out of it. <br /><br />These two changes may well turn out to be pluses in the long run. Or not, but there is always that chance, and I hope that they do for you. joannamauselinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704088243529623023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-19392099131416217492014-05-02T00:21:15.006+01:002014-05-02T00:21:15.006+01:00i have missed your thoughtful and insightful posts...i have missed your thoughtful and insightful posts about the nature of the human spirit - valuable to all, not just abuse survivors (though of course so very helpful to them).Anitanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14603206.post-13746907127452970492014-04-30T21:45:19.840+01:002014-04-30T21:45:19.840+01:00Hi Colin, well that is good news in a way because ...Hi Colin, well that is good news in a way because it means that for now, you don't need to use the blog to get through each day - and long may that continue x I also understand how you felt about your Doctor leaving because I am about to part with mine, only my own doing! I hope to exchange my house for a bungalow in Staffordshire and if it goes through, that should happen in about 2 months or so. Just another rental, but in a little village near the River Trent.<br />I was surprised about you giving up showing...I shall miss all your dapper outfits...I enjoyed those more than the dogs LOL. But obviously you have had to do what is best for your health - maybe you will decide to enter the odd one from time to time. The last of my litter went to his new home last weekend and I do miss him, but his new owners are keeping me up to speed with his progress.<br /><br />Keep on doing what you're doing Colin, you WILL win...you ARE winning!!<br />Love<br />Suzanne xxxmidnightvelvethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593572003440816742noreply@blogger.com
