I had called last Friday the only
appointment open this week, was yesterday at 1045. We decided I
would go to work and Dianne would drive an picked me up and we would
together go up to the University to meet with Katya, my provider. We
got to the University good time, got checked in and got some
premedical work up done. Becky did this work up she is very good and
helpful. And again I only needed to find out why are what happen to
the phone calls I place a got no returns and no prescription sent to
where I had asked. I also wanted to get injectables for by HRT as
opposed to the smear I have been using.
So when I got there I was not too
concerned when Becky the technician begin to do all the medical stuff
that happens at the first of an appointment: temperature, medical
history, do you use tobacco? The usual. I always feel the medical
technician question period similar to the warm-up comedian or prep
band for the major brand. The practitioner finally got to me, shook
more hammered than usual, she looked tired and frayed and that she
started asking questions would already covered in early appointments
and I began to get concerned. Early on in our discussion we found
the prescriptions that we needed in the folder and were never sent to
our pharmacy. This really sure the concluded my visit but then my
dock one to see my butt. This is when things begin to go wrong, it
seems my practitioner who is a nurse practitioner (who I used as an
M.D.) was being shadowed by the M.D. she practices under and I sort
of think this caused a lot of stress of her day. Anyway, she wanted
to my butt on to see how it was healing which I thought was healing
great as you think was so great. She made a comment that from now on
I need to be down every weekend I. E. in bed with my weight off my
butt. Then we revisited the need for a manual wheelchair, and a
functional cushion which meant another appointment with my physical
therapist which all should've been done in taking care of(another
ball dropped). There's just too many weird things happening, what I
thought was a 15 to 20 min. appointment was morphing into an hour.
However, we did get the injectables we did get some counseling and
Dianne did get some training on how to inject me with the HRT and I
got my first week injection administered. We got some meds adjusted
I got really spooked enough said. Needless to say I got the scripts
and a whole lot more. I couldn't get out of place fast enough. I
have loose ends of course, I have to make an appointment with my
physical therapist, Sue and I get a few more things ordered
hopefully. Dianne I are going to go to lunch but she had an
appointment she had to get to and we ran out of time. I had to drop
me off at Hires and had a great lunch, probably well my last since my
cholesterol is way high and I have to take dietary steps to bring it
down oh yeah – – they took vials and vials of blood and now
waiting for the chem work to come back I'm sure will not be good for
a quality-of-life issues going down the tubes.
