I decided to put a day's leave in, to ensure that I have ample time to ask all the relevant questions that I do have for the Doctor and to be perfectly honest with you, to ensure that I do get my full R 630 worth of Doctors visit! Well, was I surprised?
After the usual filling out of forms, writing out all the details necessary, putting down my signature, which is pretty much normal procedure, I meet my Doctor. What I absolutely loved was for the very first time in a very long time I got the idea that the Doctor are really interested in what I have to say. There were notes made, questions asked, more questions asked and tying to get me to answer in the best possible way.
One thing that I did well before I had my appointment was, I made a full list of my medical history to present to the Doctor. This was extremely helpful for both myself and I would like to believe the Doctor as well. The benefit my list held for me was, that I did not forget to mention anything that could have been vital in my diagnosis. I will post my list very shortly on the MS Parachute blog for your reference.
After a thorough consultation where the Doctor also did various test on me, we decided that it will be in my best interest to go for a MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) scan. In the next few days I will tell you more from my experience with the MRI scan and why the MRI scan plays such a vital role in detecting Multiple Sclerosis.
I trust you all had an extremely good weekend, and I would like to believe that the week ahead would also serve you well!
Today's picture:
Overexposure...
This shot was taken at a wedding last year November. It was an outside open air wedding and very close to nature. The ceremony was held in the middle of a bit of a clearing amongst these beautiful trees. What I take out of this photo is that with just a little bit of creativity, you can get a complete different picture than initially intended for.
