relief

I went to the doctor. We agreed not to increase my meds, but instead to sign me off work for a month. I feel relieved. He sent me the links for some podcasts. He told me to concentrate on me for the next few weeks, to not feel guilt about work and to do things which make me feel happy and content. Also, not to drink tea after about 4pm. Or coffee, but I rarely drink coffee. However, tea is a supper routine which may be difficult to break. Our GP surgery has a walk in clinic in the mornings. First come, first served. I always say that I don't mind which GP I see {hence why I've only met my registered GP once in fourteen years} and as a result I tend to get the Junior Doctor who is only there for twelve short weeks as he practices being a GP in lots of different surgeries. I LOVE junior doctors. They are kind and compassionate, they listen and they really do want to help you, often coming up with possible solutions that a more experienced GP may not consider. Plus, because they're still learning, appointment blocks are half an hour rather than just ten minutes. No pressure, no rush. Always try to see the Junior Doctor. They are amazing. On the walk home I was amused by two ladybirds getting their jiggle on. I am easily amused, no?
