Having Fun With Dr. Kreymerman

One thing I've learned is that you need to have a sense of humor; even in the rough times, it helps just to laugh, find some humor in things that make you say, "huh?"
I had an appointment yesterday for an expansion with my plastics doc (I call him Dr. PK.) It has been a really tough week for me emotionally, and I knew going to see Dr. Kreymerman that I was going to have some pain with the expansions, so I decided to give him and me a laugh....well I hoped he would laugh and not think I was some kind of creepy, weird patient.
When I got in the exam room, the nurse asked me to put on the gown; under the dress, I put on the rhinestone bra from the previous post I talked about. When Dr. Kreymerman came in, he asked how I was doing. I told him it had been a tough week for me and that knowing the chemo was coming soon, I had some anxiety. We discussed that for a moment, and he told me he was sorry for what I was going through, then I told him I had received one of the itemized bills from the hospital, he looked at me kind of puzzled... (like ok why are you telling me this?) I said, "before I take off my robe, I want to tell you something" then his interest was perked up; I could tell he was kinda worried about what was going to happen when I took off the robe...
I proceeded to tell him that I could not believe that the ugly white bra he put on me after surgery was over 200 dollars. He said, "oh don't you have insurance?" I said, "yes, but still $200+ for that ugly bra? are you kidding me?" He said, " I know the hospital probably only pays $10 for them" then I said, "well, I think if they are going to charge that much for those bras, they should be RUNWAY READY" he looked at me and said, "oh no what did you do?" I took off my robe, and he started to laugh. He said he had to get his assistant Heather in the office to see this. It was so fun; just for a couple of minutes, it was fun to not think about the VILLAIN and just laugh at something silly.
