My Dream

I wake between 4 and 5 am, local.

And take my 5 mg pred and tylenol.

After a quick phone scan for news, 

I drift to sleep for a few more, using 

progressive relaxation on pillowed arms.

I dream this morning of my new rheumatologist.

A Romanian beauty in central Florida..

She  looks at me for the entire appointment,

Like no others before she listened and believed.

Never once glancing at her screen or typing on her computer.

Just as she was to speak,

The dog barked.

      Actually, this was a real dream this very morning, and I have yet to see this new rheumatologist. My appointment is in July. I found it interesting that  even my dreams are saturated by this entity PMR.

    " believed"..   I hear this all to often.  Why don't they believe?

      I have theory on that: it is very very difficult for one to understand another's pain, unless they actually have felt it or can see it. PMR has few outward manifestations, except how we move.

      I suppose that in the  future (10-20 years), there will be information transmittal from the patient to the physician, through computers and electronics, which will allow the physician to sense and feel the pain. Then, they would be believers.
