5 POSITIVE THINGS

If I went back to my school days of going to the doctors, I could easily come up with five:

1. day off from school, and not dealing with the bullies for the day,

2. <b>Definitely</b> the "treat" to Burger King or McDonalds afterwards,

3. Going "Downtown" in Detroit,

4. Catching up on the latest "toys" at the children's hospital (cause I was 17 and still going there!!),

5. In my case it was hearing the doctor tell me how well I was progressing.

But, now as an adult with CF, there are fewer positive things:

1. Playing my Nintendo DS while waiting to be called,

2. Seeing all the nurses...yea, did that since I was 17, too!

Don't really have anything positive about going to the doctor locally because they're always behind schedule and even though I allow for extra time, it always ends up taking a few hours.

Good things about the CF clinic in the City:

1. Appointments are informative and not all that time consuming.
2. Because it's a 3.5 hour drive we plan a long weekend to shop at some stores we don't have in our area -- sephora, trader joes, nordstroms, disney & discovery stores...
3. Go to the Macaroni Grill
4. Go to the Zoo and/or Science Museum
5. Usually have time to visit with friends from college -- dining out or a bbq

I hate the doc but love the doc at the same time.

1. Getting to catch up with "friends"/Doctors/nurses.

2. Getting to learn something new - I ask alot of questions and always seem to be learning something everytime I go to the doc.

3. Before Tx I just wanted to see that things were "hopefully" staying the same, now I enjoy going to see how things have improved.

4. Showing the doctors I have been doing well - or doing what I am supposed to do.

5. Seeing the doctors - well ... the cute ones at least.

When I was younger it was definitely getting out of school and having a place to do my homework. Also the view - my peds. office had a nice view of the River. I used to just sit and watch the boats, birds and the water (for any movement of fish and such.
