STRESSED OUT BIG TIME!!!
May 07, 2009
GOD I AM SO STRESSED OUT!!! I wrote this once and was so stressed out I forgot to save the DAMN thing!Had my "Last supper" last night with my hubby. Went out and had my last "full" sized meal at the Great Wall of China in Renton. Had my favorite shrimp won ton soup, mu shoo pork, and chicken chow mein. They were out of my favorite plum wine so I had sake instead.
When I got home there was an urgent message on the phone from Dr. Oh's office. But it was too late to call - all night I thought perhaps I was lucky and was getting my surgery date moved up - since I had myself put on their move up list.
They called me back early this morning - I was still asleep - lazy me, and I found out my thyroid T4 was low (no big deal), but my breathing test was abnormal - my lungs are moderately-severely diminished with just 47% lung capacity! The respritory therapist at St. Frances that did my testing told me I did great! Why do they say that if they don't know what the HELL they are talking about!!! Makes me want to go smack her upside the head!!!
So now I have to see a Pulmonary Specialist to hopefully get clearance so I can still have my surgery on the 21st of May - 2 weeks away. Of course it always takes months to get in to see a darn specialist! Dr. Oh's office did some calling and begging for me - Thank you Dr. Oh's office. They were able to get me an appointment with Dr. Chawla in Tacoma on May 20th - the day before my scheduled surgery - talk about playing it close........Now more stress........if I don't pass the test - no surgery, if I do pass, I get my surgery. I so thought now that my insurance had approved me this long maybe, maybe not, maybe, maybe not game was over - it's been going on for nearly a year. But here I go again. I just want to crawl under my blankets and cry! And to top that off I have to start the tortureous liquid diet too - I hope that won't be all in vain..........
STRESS, STRESS, STRESS!!!! I just want this all over and done with.
