I was supposed to get a phone call yesterday about trying to get me into the docs this week. It had to be this week, or I wouldn’t get seen until August since they are only doing prenatal stuff for July.
I didn’t get a call.
So I called them today, and after 2 hours of tag, I got an appointment this afternoon at 3:30.
I went in and we went over the massive issue that I’ve been having (It’s a real TMI thing, so we won’t get into that). He was very concerned, especially since it’s been going on for a year and a half and basically haven’t been seen (not counting the ER visit that did no good last year). I also had an abnormal pap the last time I had one, which was in 2002 (My old job refused to let me take time off to visit my OB or my Cardiologist b/c I missed too much work being on life support…suckers). He took a ton of blood to run tests on, and I go in next Tuesday for a pelvic ultrasound. Then the following Tuesday I go in to have a biopsy of my uterus done, and a pap. He says that I’m probably going to need a hysterectomy’ish type thing, but we’ll wait until after we have the test results back before they start whatever course of treatment I’ll need. What ends up being done - meaning, by what means - depends on the results.
So, Deb said that she’d come in early on both of those Tuesdays for me so I can make the appointments…BUT! She got a phone call at 6:30pm from the OR nurse at County Hospital telling her that SHE is scheduled for her hysterectomy on MONDAY! She knew she was going to have one, but she figured it would be after her d&c followup appointment which is scheduled for NEXT Wednesday.
Oh, the stress of it all….
