Doctor

By Rubytuesday
As I wrote in my last post I did a really silly thing yesterday And accidentally took two days methadone Instead of one It was a genuine mistake I had just come in from work Was very tired And just didn't think I then panicked As I realised that I was now one day short I am not working until 5pm todayAnd I had no appointment with my doctor And knew I wouldn't get one So I decided to head to the surgery first thing this morning And bypassed the receptionist And went and sat outside my doctors room I know that's a bit cheeky But it was a special circumstance He came in with his first patient And have me a nod when he saw me When the patient came out He called me in I apologised for ambushing him first thing on a Monday morning And explained it was a bit of an emergency I told him what I had done And thankfully he understood And write me out a new script straight away This has never happened me before And I was so glad that he saw me And believed me As I'm sure it could have looked like I was just looking for me meds I was very grateful though They he saw me And gave me the script with no questions I thanked him for seeing me And went in my way I guess I am very lucky That I have a great relationship with my doctor And he will see me at a moments notice I know that it is not typical that a doctor will do that But I have been seeing him every week for over ten years And I don't cause any trouble Yes I can be awkward when it comes to reducing meds But I am always honest with my doctor And I don't take the piss at allI'm incredibly grateful to have an understanding and empathetic doctorNot every one does 
In other news I have had a lot of very interesting and insightful comments on my blog over the last few days It seems like the direction of my blog is changing And so are my readers and comments After my last post about horse riding And the instructor Someone left a very interesting comment I think it was Shelby if I remember correctly She wrote about how people outside of family, therapists, nurses and doctors Can be opinionated Bossy Rude even But that's life for you I think it's a very interesting point Thus far The people I have encountered Are mostly family of course My doctor My psychiatristMy counsellors Staff in treatment centres People who care And are very kind and gentle Now I am out in the big bad world Working And putting myself out there a lot more So of course I am meeting a wide variety of people And not everyone is as tuned in to me as say my family And that's perfectly fine I don't tell everyone I meet about my issues That wouldn't be right So people can be assholes That's lifeThankfully The people I've encountered so far Have been amazingly friendly and kind Especially at work My co workers are so lovely Always willing to help out And good craic tooBut of course I have met some people who aren't so nice Not so much in work But in every day life And that's fine It's unrealistic to presume that we will get on with everyone Not everyone will get onAnd not everyone will like us That's just the way it is 
So yes My life is a hell of a lot more interesting  now I am making new friends My confidence is growing a little bit every day And it feels so good to have s purpose A reason to get up in the morning To have my own money That I earned and worked hard for It's such a satisfying feeling And also having a pay check every week is a bonus Actually having a bit extra money is amazing I don't have to scrimp and saveAnd I can treat  myself now and again So all in all Life is good My life is full With work With my hobbies Horse riding Writing My dogs I feel good Fulfilled Content Happy even Long may it last.....
