I'm SO sorry you had such a bad experience with the rehab doctor. I did have one thought, though, and this is not to excuse or justify his rudeness in any way, shape or form. Is it at all possible that he said and did the things he did in order to challenge you, to get you to push yourself past what you think you can do and actually do what he knows you can do? Of course, you know yourself better than anyone, other than Daddy Himself, of course, but from what I understand, isn't it the job of rehab experts to challenge those in their care to do more than what they are comfortable doing in order to facilitate the healing process? Maybe he just had a poor bedside manner and wasn't a people person. In any case, I will be praying you find a rehab doctor that is more sensitive and compassionate, and that is in tune with what you want to accomplish. God bless, and have a great day in the Lord!

Yours in Him,

Benjamin

What a disappointment!!! Doesn't he know that the older one gets the more difficult it is to learn new languages?

Praying that you are able to forgive that heartless man, and that you will rapidly experience the Peace of the Lord again, and that He will organise all you need . . .

You're so right Frances.... it's so difficult for Charles to learn Dutch....... even though I do try to teach him and he does pick up things, but it's very difficult......... but that doc had no business even saying that!
I already forgave him........ I just don't want to see him again........

Nah, this doc just had no clue what it means to have RSD..... and didn't believe that disease existed either...... he was just being rude......

I just want to forget that this happened and move on....... and trust Daddy not a stupid doctor......

Thanks for praying for me...... we still need those prayers.......

Love you both lots,
Mieke

[andrew_no_one]

Thanks for praying Andrew.....

It was a totally waste of time...... in about 10 minutes he determined that I didn't need a brace, armbraces or a wheelchair anymore...... I just "had" to learn to walk right and I set my goals too low (all I want is to be able to move around in the house and help Charles out here and there and do the laundry).... but he thought that I was capable of much more than that, although I never was able to do that due to my knee....... so we were very disappointed and angry....... especially when he started to say that Charles needed to learn Dutch (which is NONE of his business)....... he didn't believe RSD was a disease either...... and there happened a few more things that both made us angry and we had to get out of there before either one of us was going to hit that stupid man.........

We're just going to rely on Daddy for all of this....... all I know now is that I never want to see that rehab doc again in my LIFE if I can help it.........

Please continue to pray for us....... today is a better today, but last night I had to sleep sitting up as I couldn't lay down due to bladderpains....... and Charles is still having problems with his arthritis and this snowy weather........

Love you lots,
Mieke

I am still praying...and I can't speak Dutch either.

[camperguy01]

So sorry you've had such a bad experience - I could write a book on the bad doctor experiences my wife and I have had. Still praying for strength for you and Charles on a regular basis.

You're a funny one! Thanks for making me laugh!
Still praying for you too!

Yeah me too....... Thanks for praying....

I am doing pretty good today...... Already did some housework so Charles could take some rest, doing computer stuff....... Just simple things like the laundry and sweeping the livingroom/kitchen and feeding cats, doing dishes and making breakfast and tea........ Hope for a nice Assisted Living girl tonight so I can try to take a shower again..... I only do that with special girls....... don't like to be rushed and still have shampoo in my hair!

Charles is having a cold...... so he needs some taking care of....... also having trouble with his arthritis all over his body, especially with his feet and his hands and shoulders...... Please pray for him, ok?

Please pray for more energy for us too....... although I seem to have enough of it every now and then.....

Well he wants peanuts now..... and I have to take meds....... so I'll talk to you all later......

Love you both lots,
Mieke

Charles says he had a dream he was trying to speak Dutch while he was riding his bike, and every time he "spoke," his wheel fell off! From now he'll only tries to speak Dutch, while walking on the street chewing bubble-gum......

Love you very much,
Mieke

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Thank you for sharing!

[miepie]

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Thank you for sharing!

You're welcome my dear friend....

We were just about to go to pray together for you and your father.....

We're doing ok...... I was just in withdrawl but getting better now...... next pack of morphine plasters will be a good brand so withdrawl should be in the past....... have to order them tomorrow......
Charles has bad arthritis pains so please pray for him........
I took a shower today with Assisted Living! This is possible now because I can walk! I was barefoot so Charles helped me, and the girl was very nice (I only do this with special girls)....... Tomorrow Charles will shower me as our appointment with AL has been cancelled because they have a little Christmas party in the evening...... So from 1:00 pm we have the house to ourselves and no interruptions by AL!!!! They always come at 9:00 pm normally so we're glad we have the time to do things and eat maybe a little earlier...... we're planning on cooking split pea soup tomorrow! Yummy!

Wednesday we have to go to the hospital again for a cathether change........ please pray for me then...... and please do pray for Charles too, ok? Especially on Wednesday too as we have to go there early in the morning and then it's even colder and more worse for his arthritis......

Love you both lots,
Mieke

You and Charles's faith and life lived blesses me daily...

Father have mercy on us, all of us, in Jesus name I ask.

Charles' cold is better now, although it's not over yet....... he still has trouble with his arthritis though, the weather is cold and damp with rain and snow, very bad for his disease, so please continue to pray for him......
I am doing ok, I just struggle with bladderpains off and on.... yesterday was bad after they gave me a new one in the hospital........ but that's all better now........ please pray that they stay this way so I can do things in the house........

Love you lots,
Mieke

[andrew_no_one]

I love you guys, still praying.

[miepie]

I love you guys, still praying.

We love you too my friend...... still praying for you and your dad too........

We had a nice day so far........ had a visitor from the church this morning bringing a plant and a little gift of money, and in the afternoon we had the elder of our church visiting us...... so it was a church-day!

Charles still has a lot of pain due to the weather....... please pray for him......

Love you very much,

Rainy morning here too, and I am praying. It was nice that you has a church day! What did you talk about?

[miepie]

Rainy morning here too, and I am praying. It was nice that you has a church day! What did you talk about?

Well, the first one that brought the money didn't know us at all, so she came in to meet us........ very excited about the miracle though! She wanted to call us again sometime so she can visit us again...... The second one, our elder, comes here for years now and we talked a lot about my progress........

I do not think it's do-able to do without the bed though...... although I like sitting in the chair, I get sores from that, so after New Year, when the Christmas tree is out of the livingroom, we're going to do a major operation, moving the bed towards the window so I can have some daylight...... that way I can embroider again...... we're going to put the bed next to Charles' pc so we can still do Biblestudy together next to each other...... I will be with my back towards the window, so I have backlight from there, which is the best light you can get for embroidery.......

It's not raining here...... there's still some snow from last night.......

I have some pain in my arms this morning and my bladder doesn't feel too good either...... Charles has his "normal" arthritis pains and has a cold now...... so prayers are still welcome!

Just prayed for you about an hour or 2 ago Andrew, and for your dad......

Love you very much,
Mieke
