Please know my frustration has nothing to do with YOU, okay sweetheart?
** STILL FUMING***
WHAT spine specialist??
Hubby and I drove 45 miles to see this ***ing Doctor.
I get to check in...
“Oh, Mrs _______, you don’t have an appointment today!
Your appt isn’t until the 29th.”
I said ‘YOU guys called me, and changed the appointment I
had to THIS appt, I didn’t just pull it out of my uh, hat”
Then she looked at me like she had sucked on a lemon, and started in
with “WELL! I don’t know how YOU came up with that!”
I stood up, gathered up my things and walked OUT.
I came storming back to our van, where my poor innocent husband had been snoozing
when I made a noise like “RATA-TAT-TAT!” on the window with my knuckles.
He leapt up off the seat thinking it was probably a cop!
So I stormed at him for about 5 minutes and said “I don’t want to talk about it anymore!”
(I think he gave thanks unto the Lord for that!
He got me a lovely coffee and took me shopping!
Smart (and SWEET man!) I love him so!
I stayed away from our thread because of all this crap.
Now, I either have to go back there on the 29th and eat crow, or start all over
somewhere else. (Let’s see-nope, no crow recipes)
I am currently looking at a pain clinic closer to home, and it looks pretty nice!
That sounds so frustrating. And, sadly, we’re usually at their mercy. That would throw me for a loop for days.
Oh man I don’t blame you for spitting nails!
Part of me says you’re not yo be involved with this group —for whatever reason —and God wanted to give you a very clear message.
I’m wondering if there aren’t any clinical studies you can participate in…maybe a northern affiliate of a Boston Hospital. You wouldn’t be paying anything and would have a lot of free evaluation before the study/testing behind
I’m tackling my back issues AGAIN when I return from first trip to Ohio. I’ll try for local first. Our closest big hospital research complex is research triangle (Raleigh etc)
I started when I first came here and the docs said I needed to take care of Hiatal Hernia & ENT problem first and get cardiac clearance. All that’s done.
You don’t have to eat crow, just go back like nothing happened. They won’t remember. Sorry such a optimistic hopeful day turned out so bad. Except for the shopping
