I'm sorry, Ducks
Sorry, Duckie, just did a little involuntary friend triage there... you know I'm thinking about you too... glad it's not your gall bladder, hope it's not the galloping never-get-overs, my dear. Fingers crossed for you.

Carrie, honey...I honestly don't know what to say. I'm speechless, angry, frustrated, exasberated...and I'm sure all of that doesn't even come close to what you are feeling right now.... I just wish there was something I could do. If you lived closer...I swear I would come...pack you into my car and take you ANY PLACE where you could be taken care of NOW!!!

there is another hospital i can go to and i guess that is my next option, i was told farries was going to rush this test, so i waited, then i finally got an appt and so waited, now here i am at another weekend and getting care is even worse over weekends, if farries office cannot reschedule me by monday i have no choice but go to dr. nohr on monday and sit in his office til he does something
thank you everyone for your strength, i could not get through this without all of you
edit, actually i just realized nohr is in surgery monday, Sam gets her surgery with him on Monday, so at least i know he is at the hospital, i can just go to the ER then and im sure he will see me since he is actually there and in town this time

Carrie, you must have been reading my mind cause I was thinking that you sould just drive to the Hat and sit in the ER there and get to see Dr Nohr. It sucks so bad that they're doing this to you. Our health care system SUCKS!!!!!

Carrie, I'm so sorry that this is happening to you. I wish you were closer to me here. I actually work in the Radiology Dept here at my hospital and would push you to the head of the line. I hope that they have good news when they call. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Carrie,
There's nothing that can be said that hasn't been so I'll just say that I've been thinking about you and wondering how things were going. I have said and will continue to say prayers for you.
Thanks for sharing your progress and trials...education is such an important part of this process and I, for one, am grateful for it.
Get Well Soon!!!!

That's good thinking for after the weekend, but please go to the ER earlier if your pain warrants it. Who is on call for Nohr when he's not on call? Maybe give his office a call so you have some idea what's what for over the weekend. As Dyann said, if this turns bad, you will get DEATHLY ill quickly. Cover your bases, honey.
God, Carrie, I am SO worried for you. I know we've all said it, but this keeps sounding worse and worse. Think about a visit to Jen. Seriously.

That's so far out.... are you getting in fluid yet? How much?
Maybe you should go to the hospital Monday anyway..... justs show up and be there when he comes out and tell him "I'm not okay and I can't wait for 11 more days"
Hugs.. think about going to the hospital monday.
