Just got home. He didn't think it was gallbladder. I didn't have any pain when he pushed on my gallbladder. Also, no change when I eat. It is just the back pain now. He did an xray too, and nothing there. Sooo... I see my chiropractor tomorrow and will see what HE says about my back.

I don't know if that is good or bad........Back pain is bad but you know you probably won't need to have surgery.........Its a race to see who is diagnosed first..........and we are off...........

posting this through tears, so appologizing now if spelling errors

got a call and here are the exact words;

due to scheduling errors, your appt for tomorrow has been cancelled and we will call you when we can reschedule

i freaked out on her of course, but its not her fault she is only the booking agent person so, i called farries office to let them know what is happening, of course he was not there and so she will call me first thing tomorrow morning

is this a test? a test of patience a test of my pain threshold or what? i dont get it, k, im done complaining

Default This is just plain old wrong

I'm not clear about why you cna't just go tot he ER amd make them do something about this... Sorry I' so uneducated about how your system works up there but I'd basically go live in a chair or sit at the doctor house until he did something.

When I was 2 months out and dehydrated and sick as a dog... I went to the doctors office and sat there all day... vomiting and swaying and craying until he finally had to see me and ended up putting me in the hospital.

The pain is an issure but more improtant is the fact that you are n't getting enough nutrition/fluids and are hurtign your body even more....... You are going to pass out soon if you don't start getting fluids and food.....

I wish I could go up there and argue on your behalf...... Or kick someone's ass...seriously this is utter stupidity. Please be careful driving or walking or anything you do...


HUgs Carrie, maybe go to the booking office and sit on their doorstep?

LisaM, I'm with you. My heart just aches for you Carrie, honey. I'm so sorry you are enduring this. Jen (sniff, sniff) go do something! Have you tried calling them for her and maybe roughing them up? I know you have it in you at this point. I know you are angry. I'm so disgusted. This is totally ridiculous!

Michelle, I'm so happy you went to the doc. I hope you find out if it's your back tomorrow and get some relief before the weekend, my lil buddy. Let us know how it goes and please come in tomorrow night and tell us you feel better.

(((((BIG HUGS))))))) to you both!
