doctors and fingernails
11.01.04 (11:42 am)   [edit]
You know, I go and loose all faith in an entire group of people, an entire profession, and then I meet someone like the doctor I met this morning. Oh, look, there is one who gives a damn. This guy actually read my chart before we talked. He asked careful, detailed questions and took notes on my answers. He answered my questions. Amazing. So, I'm very pleased with this guy, and I now have an appointment for an upper endoscopy (camera thing) on January 3rd.

A couple of weeks ago, I suddenly got very annoyed about the way my fingernails always broke and tore off. They always did this and I always just ignored it because, I figured, that just went with all the stuff I do. But, suddenly, I wanted more, I wanted better. I went to a nail salon and told the woman there that I wanted longer, prettier nails that were-- critical detail-- all the same length. The woman spoke soothingly and glued some nail tips on and then coated the new longer, prettier nail with many layers of stuff that got cured under a blue light. But here's the catch about longer prettier nails: you have to tend to them. Your nails grow-- not break-- and you have to have them 'filled'. Oh, okay. Today I had my nails filled and now I have a new bright shiny french manicure. Ooooh, pretty.

I am so glad that you found a doctor you like. Good for you!

Whenever I get a manicure, I end up staring at my hands for hours. If I had more money, I would get my nails done regularly but, alas, I don't. In another life perhaps ;)

That's such great news about the doctor. Isn't it amazing what happens when people LISTEN!

Long finger nails and furniture restoration sounds like a tricky combination to me...good luck!

Loops is right! I am waiting until after the last bit of wax is on the teak before I take the plunge. I do have regular pedicures though. AND I do sit and oooooh and ahhhh over my feet.
But mostly I am so thrilled to see you posting and doing and not letting this stuff get you. You are amazing.

I've *never* paid attention to my nails. I don't think I'll be able to afford to for very long, but I'm having a good time pampering myself while I'm feeling better.

It's these glove things-- like the ones you used for sewing--? But with a chemical-proof coating.

Really, the gloves help a lot :)

I don't like admitting it, but right now, I need people that I care about probably more than they need me. Please check in. I kind of need to know that you are in my corner. Just for a week and a half or so.... thanks
