Alpaca,

Never apologize for feeling low or for having a bad day and wanting a little validation and wanting to know that things are ok. I 'm 29 days post treatment and I still have days where Inam also very sore and swill fun and where my mood is rather low. It's OK to feel that way and you are more than right in assuming your RO will be friendly, supportive and answer any questions you have. I am obviously lucky -- my RO is warm, open, honest and encouraging.

Don't stop trying and make sure you get what you need -- remember, New Zealand or not, he is there to serve you, treat you and care for you, not himself.

Good luck withnypur recovery,

Cheers,

The Hellion
