I received a form letter from my Nephrologist Dr. Dreyer. This doctor has managed my blood pressure and kidney disease for the length of time I have been here (3 years). I have the highest regard for Dr. Dreyer. I have so very many doctors but this man has been my favorite doctor. The letter went on to state that he would be leaving the practice here as of August 1st. But to go even farther to tell you what kind of doctor he is he finished his letter with “You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for allowing me to serve you. Take care and God Bless.” And then a handwritten note at the bottom of the page, “ I will miss you. Dr. D.”
Now, Dr. D. is the only doctor I have ever had who could pat me on the arm, call me dear, tell me not to worry and I would feel better. I will miss you Dr. D. I could think of 3 or 4 of my doctors that I wouldn’t have minded a bit if they left. lol
I have been extremely busy, yesterday at the dentist for most of the morning getting a full mouth x-ray teeth cleaning and doctor exam. Tomorrow I see an ear, nose, throat doctor. Then on Monday I see the oncologist here in town. I will have more lab work tomorrow too.
I am extremely tired and my mind is all filled with what lies ahead for me. I will be posting sporadically until this all gets underway. I don’t have much energy to read your posts and I am sorry about that. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers.
Beth
Hi Beth,
ReplyDeleteYou remain in my thoughts and prayers. Take Care,
Hugs Nita
I just hate it when a good Doctor leaves. This is especially not a good time for you to be losing such a kind and caring one. I will pray you find someone equally as caring. You rest when you can you can, Beth. I'm praying for you.
ReplyDeleteThere are few things more reassuring than having a doctor like that. My doctor retired last year and I really really miss him!
ReplyDeleteA very thoughtful caring doctor he is. They are a rare breed. You are in my prayers Beth.
ReplyDeleteOh I am sorry that this special doctor is leaving. Sure hope he is replaced by another special one.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers are with you.
sounds like a very good doctor and i'm sorry you're losing him.
ReplyDeletedon't you ever feel bad about not getting to our posts, I think I speak for everyone that we want you to get well, we want you to take care of you, just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, you had a wonderful doctor, too badd more wouldn't take his lead and have his people skills, and compassion, I can't even imagine what you are going through right now and to know you were worrying about not making it to all our blogs just shows what a true dear friend you are, just take each day as it comes,
ReplyDeleteBeth, I continue to send my thoughts and prayers your way. It is important that you take care of yourself. Hugs, Nellie
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to lose a good doctor. I needed to see a urologist for a few years when I lived in Maryland. I told him one day that he was the most gentle doctor I'd ever had. He said I made his day, and I'm sure Dr. Dreyer wants the best for you. I'm praying for you, and don't worry about reading posts.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Sis... Laurie said it very well..we all are praying for you and not to worry about visiting us just keep in touch when you can. Love and prayers to you always XOX

ReplyDeleteYour doctor sounds like a very caring person as well as thoughtful, I know you will miss him.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best, Beth.
XO,

He sounds like a fine doctor/caring friend.
ReplyDeleteWe know you have so much going on and that you are tired and concerned. Just update us when you feel up to it and know that you are in our prayers.
Just knowing if there's anything that can be prayed over is great Beth. If there's nothing specific prayer's will still be said none the less. Blessings to you.
ReplyDeleteGod be with you and bless you in the days ahead. You will be in my thoughts and prayers, Beth. May all of this be put away and let you enjoy good health. Bertie
ReplyDeleteBeth- You just rest and get your strength up. Don't bother visiting me if you are not feeling up to par. I will be around waiting for you when you do feel up to it. I will pray for you everyday. I know you are scared and that is okay. Even those of us with deep faith are scared of the unknown when it comes to our health. I am so sorry that your favorite doctor is leaving. Love to you- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteSo hard to find a good doctor that you like now to loose one must be so hard right now. But God won't ever leave you and will always be there if you need him. Concentrate now on over coming this battle. Praying for your strength to get through this. Hugs Carrie
ReplyDeleteBeth how lucky you were to have such an obviously caring Doctor, I am sure you will miss him.
ReplyDeleteTake care and get rest Beth I am thinking of you. HUG B
Beth, you are much cared for by many people. We all stand with you in prayer. Know that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice note from your Doctor..I hope you find another one just as kind. Sending prayers from Minnesota:)
ReplyDeleteGood doctors are hard to find , sorry he is leaving Beth. You are in my thought's and prayers . All those tests stay strong ..Hugs Sheila x
ReplyDeleteWhat a "gem' of a doctor. Too bad he is leaving. Please don't worry about reading our posts Beth. Just take care of yourself, and if possible, update your own blog so we know how you are doing. Know that you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers every day. Hugs
ReplyDeleteAwe, that's the way it is here. You find a good doctor and before you know it he's gone. Sending prayers up for you.. Hugs, Susie
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hate losing a good doctor!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about us. Just take care of yourself...and try to let us know how you're doing once in a while. Best to you! Hugs and prayers!
In my thoughts and prayers Beth. You take it easy, your needs and care come first. Love and hugs.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry he is leaving! Beth - where is your cancer and how did they find it? sandie
ReplyDeleteIt sucks when you find a good doctor and they leave many years ago we had this female doctor at my GP surgey and she was the nicest lady, she had to leave the practice but not because she wanted to....she died of breast cancer...........and she is missed
ReplyDeleteIt is sad to lose a great doctor like that. I had a wonderful Christian doctor who took care of my son. It makes a big difference to have someone you can trust like that. Keep us updated when you can, Beth. You're in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteBlessings.....
ReplyDeletethey don't make them like that anymore, compassionate, patient, kind, empathetic, nope, seems they are all the cookie cut bottom line kinda docs, money, money, money and the people be damned.
Hope you are doing well.
take care and God bless.
What a wonderful old fashioned Dr. he sounds like, not many of those left. He certainly has a great bedside manner towards you, and yes, you will miss him.
ReplyDeleteI like many of us don't mind if you don't feel up to reading our blogs, but for I know I will be checking to see if you did a post as to how you are :) God Bless..xx
A shame when a sympathetic and wonderful Dr leaves a practice, Beth. I can tell you'll miss him. Softest of hugs to you, and take care my lovely friend. You're in my thoughts and prayers xPenx
ReplyDeleteHi Beth, Thank you for commenting on the post that I wrote about Technogran. I have been reading through your blog today and am sorry to hear that you too are fighting cancer. I have also known many people over the years who have had it, including a few who were treated and are now doing fine. I pray that you will be like one of them. God bless you. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you while you wait.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your doctor it is so hard to find good ones that are caring.
Much love and kisses. You were lucky to have such a doctor, there aren't so many of those around...
ReplyDeletePrayers for you every day and I have moved you to the top of my blessing list. All that means is that every morning during my prayer and meditation time, I will verbally bless you with all the things I think you need. But it is good for me, to be connected with you, on that level. I'll email you my phone number if you want and you can call anytime....xoxoxoxo
