They don’t wanna see me…NO MORE!

My title is probably not funny unless you’re Cynthia.

This morning (Monday) I went to see Dr. Li, my favorite doctor in the world.  He looked in my throat and pronounced me stitch free.  I wondered why I still had sore throats after talking and he explained that while the stitches were in my throat was reacting to the foreign material and only now after the stitches are gone can the tissue fully heal.

I had emailed Dr. Li over the weekend and mentioned that my chin still hurt.  I found this out on Friday when I leaned on my chin…or did I lean on my hand?  I propped myself up with my hand on my chin?  Oh you know what I’m saying.  And I felt pain…only on the right side…where the screw that broke lives.  So Dr. Li prodded that area and shook his head…I’m sure he wishes at times that I just wasn’t so darned sensitive.  I said it was fine.  Something I would live with I’m sure.  And he said give it some time and we’ll revisit it.  But then…THEN…he said “Keep in touch.  Email me in a month. I don’t need to see you.”  Yowzah!!!  I mean, I know I will have a follow up sleep study at some point, but I guess it’s true.  He doesn’t need to see me again.  *tear*  Now what am I going to blog about?

    That Dr. Li says the darndest things….pay him no mind. My guess is that he shed a tear or two after that travesty comment left his lips. I think you should send him flowers once a month, just for fun, and just to needle him a bit more, so he can continue spilling the little gems that he does, and that are so entertaining to read about. Shelby, give that doc a run for his money!!!!! Good luck on your upcoming sleep study Shelby. Take care.

    I wish you luck. I am about to undergo my second Dr. Li surgery. A busted jaw after coming off a mountain bike. The first one didn’t really take. Ah the odyssey before me – ensure shakes, sobbing, more ensure, pain killers, sobbing, soup, sobbing. and so on. He is putting screws in this time, and I get cold just looking at a…well at something cold I guess. So hope those don’t hurt.

    How’d your surgery go? I just think Dr. Li is THE MAN. Good luck with the screws. As you know, I had to have a couple out, but the rest of them have never given me any trouble. Aren’t you done with soup? I totally am. Gimmee something to GNAW on!
