Today begins my "Two Years Ago Today" personal journey. Two years ago today Ray went for his regular semi-annual physical. It was at this physical his doctor ordered the routine colonoscopy. I was on the front second story roof putting up the garland and lights when he left. I can totally remember seeing him get in the car and leaving. He came home so happy that his physcial turned out so good and happy to be getting the colonoscopy. Happy in the sense that he felt as if he was taking care of himself.
I, of course, was not thrilled with his doctor. That night he asked me about where to go for his blood work. I asked him "didn't your doctor schedule that before your visit so he could give you the results there?" He said "no, he prescribed the blood work when I went for my physical and then will call me with the results. I said I never heard of that....I always got my blood work ahead of time and got my results when I went for my physical." That is how I've known everyone else to get it done. I told him his doctor was wierd anyway, since it took him over a year to refer Ray to a cardiologist after being diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Ray did NOT like my response to him. He was very upset and said he like his doctor and totally trusted him. I felt bad, but I just truly didn't think his doctor took his heart thing serious enough in the beginning. That is just my opinion. That was our night two years ago tonight. - Jimmy
