Jonathan.....I appreciate you giving me credit for being somewhat intelligent. Unfortunately, my CF education has really only blossomed in the last few years BECAUSE of the doctor who is leaving. I don't feel I know all the answers and I don't know what works for me.

I DO go to a bigger center though and they are very good and very knowledgeable and I even asked them several months ago if they would be my primary care center. They were more than willing. They are just soo far away.

I am just hoping that this younger new doctor is open and kind and willing to work with me and the bigger center I go to. I just need to trust God that He'll lead me in this new relationship. I think I am having such a hard time with this because this is a doctor who walked me through the toughest time I have ever had with CF.....he is not without faults but we get these weird attachments to some of our docs. Not all of our docs....just a few that earn our respect for one reason or another.

Gosh I am sorry.. I am so attached to my center in NJ I can't stand it... actually my nurse... I just switched centers to SC and I am passing out with fear.... and I already met them and they are so nice, so smart, so on the ball with stuff....

For me it is emotional security so I know what you mean....I hope you like your new doctor as much as I like mine.....(even though I am making her nuts on the second day of knowing her)


is there going to be a way to make a smooth transition.. Like my center in NJ sent all of or most of my paper work to the team down here? and just tonight I emailed my nurse from NJ to tell her what was going on with my stuff down here... she is being really gracious, and continuing to support me..

I can imagine how you feel and I am sorry...

Hugs

You'll be fine. I've been to 9 clinics in my life. You'll realize every doc has their specialty and that none are perfect but the combined cf knowledge that you walk away from is incredible. Like one of my docs was really good at teaching me to breath correctly. Another center was a stickler for proper neb cleaning and extremely pro-embolizations for any amt of lng blding. Anyway my lst could go on and on... you get the idea.

Maybe you could write down things you really liked about your last doc and bring them to your appt. If they are things that could transfer such as "good accessibility/communication" then why not ask for it!

I am feeling a little better about things. I don't think I was very clear in my post. I DO LOVE the big center I go to and have already established myself with them. I am just scared of going to this new local guy who does not have a whole lot of CF years experience. I do like the idea of writing down some positive things and asking for that. Maybe a younger doctor won't be so set in his ways? Maybe open to listening to me.....not that the other one wasn't; but, I did have some not so fun moments where he was stubborn.

I think we just get attached to good docs because what we share with them is so life altering and emotional sometimes, ughh! I need to let go!
