Sorry this picture is so small but this is what generally comes to mind when frustration is involved!
On Monday I went to the funeral of a close friend's father.
Funerals are hard enough on family when they were somewhat "prepared" for the death and when the minister's words are comforting.
It is doubly hard when neither of those things happened.
It was frustrating to watch because the service could have been much better.
I hurt for my friend.
I had high hopes for Tuesday.
I saw another dermatologist for the rashes that I have been dealing with on my stump. Rashes that come and go with no rhyme or reason--and hurt like crazy! It usually means several days out of my prosthesis.
That just really gets in the way of life!!
My visit with the doctor lasted all of 5 minutes. It took me longer to get out of my leg! I will try some of what he said but I'm beginning to wonder if I would be better off to diagnosis myself from the Internet.
So, the first part of the week has not been so grand.
But I'm still hopeful for the rest of it!

Oh Dana! I hope so much that you can find a solution to your rashes. Oddly enough I am dealing with rashes right now too and the med's the doctor gave me are not helping. I too had a lot of frustration with my doctor visit. Sorry for your frustration and hoping your week starts looking up.
Hard weeks have a way a wearing on us, don't they? As you come to mind this week, I will be praying that the grace of God will sustain you and that you might find a solution for the rash problem.
If you have time for us to talk via e-mail, I know of a really good derm - my godfather. He views listening to his patients as a ministry. Would love to get you hooked up with him.
