Requested Follow Up At Pain Management Clinic
[ Tuesday January 24th 2023 at 4:56 pm ]
One of the things we talked about at my medical appointment today was for me to have a follow up appointment with my pain specialist doctor. My family doctor gave me an agenda for this. As this doctor has been responsive to me in the past I said I'd arrange the appointment. I have just e-mailed him with the agenda my family doctor is asking that I talk to him about.
The idea of making a list and not having to store the items of discussion in my short term memory has been very helpful as a strategy. I try to strike up a balance between the management of my physical disability and living my life. The e-mail is able to keep track of the items on my list while I go about working on my "to do" list. This means I am not constantly focused on my physical disability.
Right now my main focus is sewing black out curtains in the hopes that my quality of sleep will improve. This is what I am able to do to help myself and will make the most immediate positive impact on my quality of life. I enjoy creative things such as sewing.
