Parting (Head) Shots

October 18, 2006 By Jenny Ryan 13 Comments

Good communication between you and your health professional is essential.

(At the dermatologist’s office.)

Nurse: So you’re here because you have something on your head.

Me: Yes.

Nurse: Is it giving you any problems?

Me: No. It’s just WEIRD!

Good communication between you and your spouse is also essential.

(Describing my doctor’s visit to my husband.)

Me: Since we changed insurance, the dermatologist is not covered. So I had to pay for it myself.

My husband: So how much was it?

Me: $212.00

My husband: What?!

Me: It was worth it for the peace of mind.

My husband: Well yeah-it was a PIECE OF YOUR MIND!

    Im a little worried about this! (i know what you are thinking, “back off sister, youve got your hump to take care of”) Are you ok? Is it ok? I feel your communication though, I am completely not exaggerating at all when I tell you I made my dr examine my mouth for acid burns because I drank a diet soda that went bad in the can and I thought it scarred my throat.

    I agree that communication is very important. Now if people will only listen when I tell them what to do!

    Okay…so, this made me laugh and I felt a little nauseated too. Talk about some contrast:)

    Oh no, the doctor said it was totally fine. Just an annoyance. And honestly, it hurt MUCH LESS than having to go to the dentist 4 times in 12 days. So no need to worry, although I do appreciate your concern. 🙂

    Thanks for stopping by my T13 a couple weeks ago. 🙂 Your entry made me concerned… but glad to hear (via comments) that things are fine!

    Ha hahaha!! That sounds like an exchange that would happen between me and my husband. LOL.

    So, I assume all is fine and you still have all of the essential pices of your mind. 🙂

    Sheesh.

    I meant to type pieces.

    I don’t know-I think having some mind pices (pisces?) could be kind of fun too!

    Thanks for saying hi, Measi!
