 I sure wish, My Family and Friends, knew, what I deal with, on a Daily Basis.

Today, My Husband, had an Appointment with His Pulmonary Doctor. I was going to take Him, as I always do.
My Husband, called and Cancelled, His Appointment. Know Why? He said, " I'm not Breathing well enough Today, to go to the Doctor "

wow. it's sometimes amazing the disconnect our brains make between the obvious and that sort of "automated response" - as in "I'm too sick to go to that appointment" when of course the appointment is probably exactly what you need. I'd hate to think if I did something like that sometime - maybe I have. I think it can be very frustrating to watch. Unfortunately dealing with all this stuff, the toxins, everything else going on that makes us feel unwell does cloud rational judgement and you just sometimes don't want to deal with that stuff - even moreso if there's a fear that something bad may come of it (as in news you don't want to hear).

I hope he can get back to that doc really soon.

Sounds like something my mom would say.  Imagine not feeling well when you go to the doc.  Who would figure?
