oh no.

Blah blah and another blah, I haven't been feeling well today...the usual, nausea, dry heaving, discomfort on left side, cramps/bloating etc. Dennis called the office to see if they can at least call in some nausea/pain meds for me. She said she needed to call the surgeon(who is on vacation by the way) and ask him what to do. He called back and said (what else) "to go to the hospital now." Trust me I know they have to rule out that nothing else is going wrong(like on the CT-Scan) but nothing is. It is the same junk w/me. When I tell them what is wrong w/me "functional bowel obstruction in the roux limb and y connection" they just look at me like I have gone and lost my mind. I REALLY, I mean REALLY don't want to go over there. They do nothing over there but give me IV fluids/pain meds, send me for a CT-Scan and then shrug their shoulders at me. I tell them in the ER again and again you will not see my problem on a CT-Scan but fine waste everyones time. Then make me wait all night for the surgeons who then just admit me to the hospital to sit around in a room (vs the ER) and get IV fluids/pain meds/zolfran. I seriously can't take having this problem anymore, its beyond annoying and has taken days, months, now years away from my life. Yet they put me in the schedule for august! I will wait for Dennis to come home and see what he wants to do b/c I cant go now w/my son here anyway. *sigh* This is my life.

You poor baby. I'm sorry this just keeps on continuing for you. I wish I could blink my eyes and make you better. You know that's what we all want for you. You trust Dr. G, so I think you should do what he says. You don't want to give anyone the opporutnity to say that you're non-compliant. Do what they say, let them run their tests and then have your surgery in August and we will all pray from now until then that you get well really fast. Joanne

Thank you, Of course I trust him. Lord knows he doesnt think I'm non-complaint. It is just those people over there are so annoying to deal with. Blahhhh...Talk soon

Can you refuse the CT Scan or could it rule out something else that comes up? I know you don't want to be difficult, and I know you shouldn't take any chances, but you can refuse - gosh, isn't is exposing you to too many xrays???? Can I do anything? I am thinking about you {hugs} xosm

I could then I look "difficult"...Its like, "who me?!!??" Lord not light a match around me, I might blow! ha. Did you get the pics I mailed to you by the way? Thanks for thinking and supprting about me! it means alot. And why isnt my husband picking up his phone! My life!

Yes, can I post that one of us on my page? I'm sorry I've been a rotten friend, I keep meaning to call, but I don't. I am HERE thought, and I'd be there in a minute if you needed me xosm

No I do not mind at all! I REALLY don't want to go. I just called Yvonne up and told her I would rather suffer than go over there again. Blah.

Did you get in touch with Dennis yet? What does he say? xosm

Awww Tavia! I have never been anything like this myself, but for some reason can feel your frustration. I guess having been a home health aide and growing close to people who went through health problems that took forever to resolve...I did a lot of listening on my job and felt frustration for them. You asked how I was and didn't mean to ignore you . I am doing well broke my plateau and down 79 now. Is your little guy better? I hope so! Kristine

Oh lovey, What a big fat drag! I wonder if Dr Gellman could sort of heads up the folks at the ER about what's going on with you to avoid unnecessary testing and delay. What doesn't he have a standing order at your pharmacy for pain/nausea meds? When he gets back from vacation, I'm sure one phone call will move up your surgery date so you can get past all this yuck!!! I'm sendin' ya big lovey hugs and a shoulder massage! I'm so sorry that you're suffering like this, but in time, this too shall pass. Hugs, Amy
