not sure where this is going

Mar 16, 2009

Ok, so I went in to the office today. It was so weird without Dr S being there!!! I'm not so sure how I feel about it.

Anyway... so I haven't been able to eat or drink anything for the past 3 days, so I went in. Dr Moon (that just feels weird...) decided that I should have some fluid taken out of my band. I was not happy about this. I haven't had a fill since January, so I just don't feel like it could be that! I've worked so hard to get here, POINT ONE CC'S at a time!!!!!! uggg. 

So he took out POINT FIVE CC'S!!!!!!!! yikes! And the fun and wonderful part is that he said my port is TILTED  (which I knew) so he had to stick me FIVE times to get the needle in the port (which has never happened before!) Ohhh that hurt! He offered me a local after the second try and I declined. Duh... so after the fourth, I told him he only had one chance left, and that's when he got it. I'll just say that I haven't had that much pain in Dr S's office since, well, never! I'm in pain still from it. And then he sent me for a UGI and I'll get results back tomorrow. The radiologist showed me my band and he said it's VERY horizontal, and it should be at an 85 degree angle, so it's considered "low lying" but still within the ok range.  I haven't had anything to eat (now i'm on liquids, not just cuz I HAVE to be, but because I had and UNfill) for the next 3 days. So I have not had one single bite of food (that stayed down) since Friday. I feel like total crap. I haven't even taken off my hospital bracelet yet.

So we'll see what he says tommorrow.   And he did tell me that if I decided to stay with Dr Tom, that I shouldn't worry about hurting his feelings, or anything like that. Your health is the most important thing, and you need to see a doctor that you feel comfortable with, so he wouldn't be offended if I wanted to follow Dr Tom.  I though that was nice of him.

And, on my way out... in the parking lot, I saw Dr TOM!!!!!!  I could tell he was in a hurry, so I just waved and said "I'm mad at you!"  He said--"Don't be mad at me!! Are you following me?"    So I said, "I'm having some problems, so I just might!" and he said   "You should, April 1st!!!" And we waved goodbye. I already miss him!!! 

I talked to my mom and grandma about it and I THINK I'm gonna stick with Dr Tom. I love him so much and he makes me feel so comfortable and I feel like he takes good care of me. As long as he's in network for my insurance, I think I'll make the trip to see him. I hope I don't have any problems, but if I do, I want Dr Tom taking care of me. It almost feels like changing doctors half way through a pregnancy... You just want the doctor that you're comfortable with and that's been with you through the whole deal. I miss Dr TOM!!!!!!! I just don't wanna have to drive that far every couple weeks if I"m having problems.

Why the hell did St Luke let this happen!!!!! I'm sooo mad!!!!
