July Appointments

[greaterexp]

July is nearly here already. How did that happen? We like to share upcoming appointments, so if you have one coming up this month, please let us know. It can help us get organized and ready for appointments when we talk about them here. I've had several great suggestions from this forum in preparing for appointments! And we always like to encourage and support one another.

Just went to St. Luke’s and did blood work for cancer doctor and neurologist yesterday. Have appointments with both in July. Called neurologist and he wrote me a new handicap form to be able to get license plates and mail delivered to house 🏡 instead of community mailbox that’s 3 blocks away 👍. Other than that things are going well 😎🙏🐾. Ken

That is so great you can now get your mail delivered to your house instead of the community mailbox!

I have an appointment on July 11th with a new neurologist! Hopefully, this one won't get rescheduled because something else has happened in the office and the doctor has left the office. Fingers crossed.

Oh my dog! I have the grandiose appointment of all of them scheduled in July. The brainiac on the 17th (aka neurologist). I keep trying to get fired and have been unsuccessful thus far. If I get fired, I couldn’t possibly have MS, right? Guess I better start practicing my tippy toe walking now. 🙄😑😬

My goodness, Donnie! I hope it goes smoothly and finally does the job!

[Doubled51 in reply to greaterexp]

Thanks Erin. I’m certainly not looking forward to doing it over.

Donnie

[greaterexp in reply to Doubled51]

I’d bet not! You’re in my prayers.

[Doubled51 in reply to greaterexp]

Thank you

Donnie

[Kenu in reply to Doubled51]

Good luck Donnie, hope things go well for you 👍. Same doctor or new one 🤷🏼‍♂️. Is this out patient 🤷🏼‍♂️. Bless you and my prayers are with you and family 🙏😉🐾Ken

[Doubled51 in reply to Kenu]

It’s the same dr but expecting different results this round. I told him this better be the last time we do this one. He also found a diverculum attached. I’d never heard of diverticulitis of the bladder but leave I to me to have it. Hope he can fix it without removing it.

Yah it’s outpatient. Thanks for all your prayers.

Donnie

[kris1973 in reply to Doubled51]

Doubled51 Donnie - you mentioned a while back that you had diverticulitis - was that after a colonoscopy? Sorry to hear about the surgery -Kris

[Doubled51 in reply to kris1973]

kris1973 yeah after a colonoscopy in Jan dr said I had signs of early diverticulitis of the colon.

This ones on the bladder letting urine get retained. He’s hoping he can create enough scar tissue inside to plug it. I hope so cause he said it was a pretty big deal removing it. Figures. I’d never heard of it.

Thanks. Just another benefit of getting old I guess.😊😊😊🤪😜.

[kris1973 in reply to Doubled51]

Doubled51 All will be fine Good to get bladder issues figured out now in case your MS has different plans -Kris

[Doubled51 in reply to kris1973]

Honestly my urologist thinks it’s a combination of urology and neurology now. Possibly nerve receptors are not all the correct signals needed so I want everything fixed that I can.

Donnie

[kris1973 in reply to Doubled51]

Doubled51 Sounds good.

[janetb1968 in reply to Doubled51]

Good luck hun really mean that xxx 💕💕💕💕

[Doubled51 in reply to janetb1968]

Thanks Janet.

I know, time isn't waiting for no one! Go back for Ocrevus treatment on 7/10. Can't believe its been 6 months already.

[Midgey_Midge06]

I am gonna have an MRI at end of july once insurance approves it

[Qt314grl]

I’m trying out a new neurologist on Monday. Haven’t gathered up all my records for him yet. I’d just like to discuss my clinical symptoms first. See if I like him and see how the office works.

I hope it works out because it cuts out 2+ hours of travel time for appointments. That would be quite nice!!
