Meant to say this sooner.
I wore very sparce clothing, to see if she'd notice I've lost weight. Felt strange to be doing that again, and for a different reason. She didn't pick up on it. So finally when she was wrapping up the meeting, I told her that I'm concerned that my weight drops. And that I'm scared of it because for once, I'm not orchestrating it, and it's not in my control.
She said, "Well let me weigh you" And it was down from six months ago, but not at a tragic number (though that's not the point to me, it's not the number it's the drops themselves)
And then she told me that some people have a hard time keeping weight on. I tried to explain that that's not me normally (was never me even back in day when I was healthy and fine), and not what's going on. And she ended with the line about the number being acceptable for some women my age and height, and that "we'll just watch it and see what happens", and to carry snacks in my purse. Oi. I've been watching it for a year now, and eating power bars. *sigh* She's so tiring to talk to.But I did get a referral after a specialist made a request to her that I see someone in the appropriate field, to look into results they found doing the tests that my PCP should've been ordering herself. I'm just angry at others catching stuff that's her responsibility. Things I feel she would be looking for if she didn't already have a preconceieved idea about me as a patient. But I guess it wasn't a total bust.
P-mo
