went to surgeon today
Well, I am so frustrated today.. I went in for my doctors appointment today to see this Dr Edmond for a 2nd opinion, about what to do about my FIstulas. apparently this guy has been in practice for 100 years (according to my doctor) so I made an appt to see him today.. I took off work at 9am so that I could arrange for transportation up to Ft Wayne, got there, and the nurses said the doctor had an emergency surgery and rescheduled me for Monday at 10pm..
I am so upset about this, because I made the appt 3 weeks ago, and they never called to tell me or anything, and I had to pay someone to take me there and back, and had to miss work and everything, when the nurse just didn't take the time to call me when they said they knew in advanced 24 hrs prior.. they had just not called but instead sent out a letter that I haven't even recieved in the mail yet... like geez they could have valled
in the meantime, I am in so much pain its unreal, and they wouldn't give me anything for it in the meantime without a doctors ok, so if things don't improve tonight I may end up having to go into ER tonight or tomorrow, I am in alot of rectal pain, frustrated, just not in a good mood at all today over this..
I didn't say anything to anyone of course, I mean, I am not like most guys in that situation and fly off the handle at the nurses or anything like that. I am always a gentleman even when things get on my nerves on the inside. I'm just aggrivated that they didn't call me is all when they knew ahead of time about it.. They knew I had to drive from Warsaw, a 45 minute drive out of town, when I can't drive a car meaning I had to arrange for transportation and everything, yet they still didn't feel the need to call me when they found out instead of just writing me a letter.. takes a week to get anything in snail mail I thought everyone knew that.. (shrugs) oh well.. I just hope he is there Monday now.. but in the meantime, I got a note from them that says the doctor had amergency surgery today and rescheduled for Monday. I had them write out such a note for me, so I wouldn't get in trouble at work for missing both Thurs and Mon.. my work tends to write you up and get mad if you miss work without a doctors note... THey already give me a hard time as it is, because the insurance they pay for for me costs them more for the Remicade I am on, they already give me a hard time for that as it is...
