It just seems to be too much of a coincidence for it to have started the exact day that the screaming got so loud.Cammie Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137080807945525006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-53756533986490325402015-03-12T22:21:59.733-04:002015-03-12T22:21:59.733-04:00I'm definitely thinking about it.

MY OB is secular too and he's always been really respectful and on board with NFP... it's just my general practitioner that's not so much (although I totally should throw the "just" out of that statement!). I think I'm way more picky with OBs because I tend to see them so much more.Cammie Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137080807945525006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-69846084959121145262015-03-12T22:20:19.646-04:002015-03-12T22:20:19.646-04:00I was thinking about it today and I do think she h...I was thinking about it today and I do think she has good intentions and just goes way overboard in her attempts to "educate" me. And the weird thing is that this isn't my OB, just the person I see for physicals and if I get sick. My OB has always been really great about NFP and totally respectful about it (although he's not an NFP OB).Cammie Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137080807945525006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-64549235741168524622015-03-12T22:18:18.422-04:002015-03-12T22:18:18.422-04:00Thank you for the prayers!

I don't have any great leads here, but in a few months we are going to go back and spend a couple months in California, so I kind of have my focus fixed on getting to that point because then I'll have tons of help!Cammie Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137080807945525006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-90475628808850007162015-03-12T22:17:23.251-04:002015-03-12T22:17:23.251-04:00I was thinking about that today and how in general...I was thinking about that today and how in general we've been so blessed and I need to write a post about how 90% of the people we encounter as so amazing and great and helpful!

My daughter said that your initial suspicions that the loud screaming could have damaged your ear may be well founded, as that damage could have made you more susceptible to fluid buildup, etc. <br /><br />I also believe you should write letters to your soon-to-be-former primary care physician and the state board. There are also plenty of online physician-rating sites (healthgrades.com, etc.) and I would pay a visit to a couple of them. <br /><br />I hope your dizziness and headaches clear up quickly.<br /><br />Mariedixieaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923834034976250382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-77985697602907143282015-03-12T18:03:56.179-04:002015-03-12T18:03:56.179-04:00When you switch doctors, please consider writing a...When you switch doctors, please consider writing a letter to your former doctor's practice as well as the state medical board. Your former doctor is crossing some huge lines by denigrating your religious practice (not to mention that you're too stupid to think for yourself and just do whatever your priest tells you without understanding why). <br /><br />My OB/GYN is secular (he has advertisements for contraception all over his waiting room) and he has never ONCE pushed contraception on me, nor has any of his staff. On the contrary, they have all been very supportive of my use of NFP. It's very refreshing.

Even if this one honestly does mean for the best, and would feel it unethical not to raise the subject of contraception, she's done what's required of her on that score--multiple times, from what you say. Heck, from a strictly legal perspective, if you got pregnant again and (God forbid) something went really, horribly wrong and Paul sued her (yes, I know he wouldn't, but I'm going from a legal cover-your-butt perspective here) she could easily show, at this point, documentation saying that she'd offered you contraception and tried to get you to take it. She needs to knock it off and respect your beliefs on this matter, and if she can't, then there must be another doctor in the area who, even if not Catholic, can respect you and your beliefs.<br /><br />Put it this way: I'm pretty sure that my OBGYN, though actively pro-life, does prescribe birth control, or at least some types of it. When we needed to avoid for a while for medical reasons, all he said was, "Okay, I need you to not get pregnant for X amount of time. How do you plan on avoiding getting pregnant?" Me: "We use the Marquette method of NFP, and it works well for us." Him: "Marquette? I'm not familiar with that one." *I explain.* Him: "Okay, that should work well. Make sure you come in for your pap next year; have a good one!"<br /><br />I get the impression that his thought process is "NFP, practiced correctly, is demonstrably effective but requires rather more work and a LOT more abstinence than contraception, so why not just use the pill, but hey, she's the one doing the testing/charting, so whatever."<br /><br />Works for me. He doesn't have to agree 100% with my thought processes on this, just respect them.~Katherine~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12138257993961072758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-70540924763293854462015-03-12T13:54:29.522-04:002015-03-12T13:54:29.522-04:00So glad you were able to take care of yourself and...So glad you were able to take care of yourself and I hope it gets better! <br /><br />I'm thrilled for you guys that Paul has a shot at a better job actually in the law field. <br /><br />Do you have anything who could help you out on a regular basis during the next few months? It sounds like they're going to be a bit challenging!<br /><br />I'll say some prayers for you guys.

Between your (extremely rude by the sounds of it) primary care physician and whoever decided Mae was overweight and made that a secondary diagnosis I'd go nuts. I am happy you are getting help and that it should be easy enough to overcome. Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17721349139975265768noreply@blogger.com
