Dear Dr. V.,
I know you have my best interest in mind, or at least you do not want me having another stroke on your watch. I get that and I appreciate it. I took the "no driving" instructions rather well, did I not? When I mentioned cycling 3 times and words such as "intense" and "training", what part did you miss? Is there a reason you decided not to share with me the very important (IMO) information that my already low BP would drop to points where I will faint? A little heads up on the fainting business would have been greatly appreciated. Especially considering I kept telling you how important exercise, especially cycling is to me. For the record, outdoor biking and fainting do not mix!
I am fairly certain down the road I will be eternally grateful to you for fixing my brain, but right at this moment I am too weak from a low BP and depressed from a lack of cycling to care.
Your grumpy patient.
P.S. See you on the 18th, when we will discuss cycling in depth.
Jennifer
