Guest makwa_04 Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Bad weekend in general Called a friend and let them know of my not being able to get in to see a Doc till the 7th and then the vacation bit. He called his friend at home a oncologist and also a fellow Mason. They talked over my basic problem well anyway doc agreed i need to see a doc at once and may be able to be seen today !!! I have to call him as soon as his office opens and i also have his personal home phone number Im still highly ticked in the way my other doctor could not get me a quicker appointement. I guess its not his fault its the one going on vacation and only being available one day So maybe I can be seen or get something a going Last night S.O.S pain worke me up.. as the meds wore off so it took awhile for another pill to kick in.. then it didnt so took a 1/2 one.. It kicked in finally I guess i got 45 minutes nap time.. and back up and here I am again. Im hoping the mri people phone my results in to my regular doc early As I need those and xrays for this one that claims he can see me. All is up in the air this morning.. Im eating these pills although not over doseing just 1/2 in and taking 5 hrs instead of 6 between them Thats about only way i can get them to halfway to work Told regular doctor nurse while ago i will need a refill SOON on these and she said they should last me longer and I told her well they aint and she was abut to give me a lecture and i stopped he in her tracks... So HOPEFULLY today will be productive.. Nerves are shot along with eating habits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave s Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Makwa, One thing I leaned early on was to start a 3 ring binder and keep copies of EVERYTHING. I'm now up to 2 binders and they are categorized by tabs like test results, progress notes, etc. I think everyone should do this. Afterall it's our data... Best Wishes, Dave S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I am glad you got in to see a doctor and if you are more comfortable with the new doctor, go for it. Has he recommended starting treatment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
