i had a pdoc appt yesterday. this is the guy that's been there for me through the ROUGHEST part of my illness. the last two years.
he told me yesterday that he's closing his practice. he said that it was just too much for him. see he actually works for a government agency full-time and had a small practice on the side.
the good part is that he said that he would still be around town and that i had his pager number and could still call if i needed him. that in an emergency i (or hospital) could call him and he'd come help. but that he was mostly referring his patients elsewhere.
so i guess i felt good cuz i can still see him if i needed to (thinking pregnancy issues here).but if i felt i needed to be more 'covered' he'd recommend someone to me. which he did.
i guess i'm just mixed, cuz on the one hand, he's just too good and i would hate to see this good of a doctor get burnt out, and he does have a family that he wants to spend time with. and i'd want him around too. so i'm happy for him.
but maaaaaaaan
i never really had abandonment issues till i got into this stupid world of psych!and i guess i'm a little scared too cuz he Knew me. he always made me feel sane and grounded. and he didn't believe in pushing drugs.
i'm just going to miss him soooooooooo much. (tear)this is a smaller town and there just isn't good psych care here. he was one in a million.
but i guess i do feel good that he isn't leaving town, he isn't loosing his license, and that he did say i could still call him or paige him whenever i needed.ok...i'm done for now.
(heart feeling a little ripped right now)
