Check (kinda)…
All Ducks in a Row?
Check (kinda)…
Ok.. this has been a lovely monday so far…
listen to THIS story by the ‘braindeadabella.’
I have been suffering with diverticulosis as you all are WELL aware..LOL.. so of course I have been in and out of the doctor’s office when I had my flare up 3-4 months ago… So I get this call from my doctor’s office advising me that I have an appointment with a dr. so and so.. located at so and so address and my appointment is in a week (today)… I was kinda scared and didn’t wanna know what it was about.. so I just “accepted” that I had this appointment and planned around it.
Then I started to get curious..
So I called the doctor so and so at such and such a numbAH.. and it was a voice mail saying absolutely nothing about who he is..
So I let it go.
THEN… I looked up on the internet last night the doctors name to see if I could get a HINT.
Found out today that I had the doctor’s name wrong.
So this morning, while Ryan was driving me downtown today TO THE DOCTOR’s.. I felt I really should know who he is and what he does.
So I call again. And I listen to the WHOLE message this time… mentioned something about breast clinic.. blablabla
I panic.
I call my DOCTOR to see who this doctor was.. the receptionist couldn’t answer me. Had no idea (Note to self, change doctors)
I panic.
Finally we get there.. and BLUSHING and APOLOGIZING for being such a STOOOPID girl I humbly asked why I was there and what the doctor specialized in.
“He’s a general surgeon”
PANIC.
So she saw my face and told me I was there to just discuss my “condition”.
Hmph.
What a day.
I toldja I had a good one 🙂
Mwah to da sistahs who NEVER panic and NEVER NEED TO
Em
Well, I am NOT one of those sistahs! Surely I have earned a PhD in panic and worry! I am thankful that you were there just for a discussion. I hope you are feeling well! And just think: it you weren’t feeling braindead, imagine how much worse the panic would have been! So being braindead was a blessing to you today! LOL
I always panic and think the absolute worst. I relly wish DR.s would tell you what is going on right away so one wouldn’t have to worry and fret….I’m sure it makes you sicker.
LOL 😀
I would have been freaked out of my mind too!!!
Breast cancer probably running through my head!!!
So glad things didn’t go to worse!
You should check this website out 🙂
http://www.cpso.on.ca/docsearch/default.aspx?id=2048
It’s the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons, and has a doctor search engine. It gives a TON of info and is very easy to use. You should never have to panic about that again 🙂
you ok hon?????? Did you talk to “Dr. Whatchamacallhim”???? Hope that he gave you some insight on the diver’ , and relief???? I’m worried about ya.
The last Dr. appnt I had I told the Dr. that “I need a check up from the neck up” cause I seem to be very forgetful lately. She just laughed at me and told me that I had S.O.B…….I said “What is that” – beginning to panic…. She said it is called “Schedule Overload Brain”…most women have it!
Feel better n’k?
Mwah.
hugs and giggles from your diverticular sistah!!!
First of all, leave it to you to have a comments section that makes me do math…( I don’t like math unless it has dollar signs and plus signs and is a check made out to ME.) Anyway, I am endoscopy nurse, I deal with this sort of thing EVERYDAY. If you have any questions, email me, if I don’t have the answer, I will ask OUR general surgeons, we do this all the time, hope you feel bettah my friend, and don’t eat any NUTS. Bwahh ahahahahaha! Just joking!
Hi Em. Hope you are over your panic. Don’t you just love drs. who do this to you right before holidays? As if you have nothing else to worry about, so I hope you are feeling better now & more relaxed.
Em,
Panic and worry is what keep us and our children alive. All things in moderation. Wish you well on you health.
Just to say a HUGE thank you for your very quick shipping of my order ;0) I look forward to getting them in the new year.

cuda wouda tell u. All patients with this diagnosis must develop a relationship with a surgeon, just in case. Next time if you need to know about the doctor, check CPS website under doctor search. Hope all is well
