Sharon is great about answering emails and communicating with your physician etc. At the time, I felt like she was very "maternalistic" in the sense that she would tell me what she thought I needed to know and I shouldn't worry. I have so many emails from her asking me why I am worried and telling me to stop worrying. At my follow up visit I did my blood and urine and then went up to wait at the clinic. She came in to tell me that everything was fine. I asked her what my creatinine was and she said that just the urine was back and it was normal but the blood work wasn't in yet. She'll let me know if it is abnormal. So why did she say everything was normal when the test wasn't even back! So in my mind I didn't know if everything was fine. I was and am a worried type of patient. I wait with bated breath for each number and to me it has to be perfect or I begin to worry. By her telling me everything is fine and I shouldn't be concerned, let the professionals deal with it, I felt patronized and my feelings devalued. I felt like they were keeping information from me (because she may think this is the way to get her to stop worrying) instead of sharing and building trust. On my 2 year visit my creatinine was abnormal. It had jumped to 1.4 and I panicked. I wanted to speak to a nephrologist and Sharon said, I can ask her any questions, she will ask the nephrologist and then get back to me. I just wasn't a good match for her because I wanted to be overly involved and I think her way of nursing is, the patient doesn't need to know the details just the medical professionals. She means well, and is very conscientious about getting back to patients, following up etc. We just may not have meshed. And maybe she does like you better. Remember I was the doubting donor who really wasn't gung ho about this. Not what they are used to. Their donors usually can't wait to have their organs cut out.
