Thank you all for the supportive comments. Very kind. What can I say, I had a bit of a meltdown.
Even though I put myself in the role of "the good patient", I am also pretty vocal about the issues of the moment. I have been bringing a list in lately as my memory has gotten so bad. I never have felt rushed during visits, but every issue that I mention is important to me and the sense of urgency in "fixing" the problem, whatever it is, is why I bring these issues to his attention. His sense of urgency doesn't always match mine.
I can't be putting all the fault on his shoulders. Perhaps I am not doing a good enough job myself in expressing my expectations. I'm human, he's human. My psychiatrist attributes part of it to having somewhat of a stoic German personality. (very true at times) She told me to use the words "sense of urgency" more often.
