Now we're actually getting somewhere....
...I think....
So today I once again had to play phone-tag with my primary care physician's office....I had to explain to them that I had to cancel surgery due to running a fever and, that I was also checking on my recent blood work (the nurse I work with told me I needed to call them about the blood work right away and I *don't* like the way she said it - she's not an alarmist type of person)....
So...I waited and since I decided to stay at home today, because I took the day off anyway,I gave them my cell phone number to call....
As usual - what happens, they call the home number and hang up (I actually watched this happen right in front of my very eyes {one of which was suppose to be sporting a patch today *grin*})...so I call my doctor's office back and I get a snotty receptionist who wants to read the doctor's message to me and be done with it...
Uhm no...I don't think so...finally I manage to get her to let me talk to a nurse; I want to say here in front of Goddess and everyone: Thank heaven for nurses!!! I don't know what I would have done without the nurses in this situation (well except had some really nasty infection post-surgery)....so it turns out I am going to be able to get in this Friday and figure out what the hell is going on with me....
What the hell IS going on with me??????
*sigh*
So now all that's left to do is call up the surgeon's office and give them hell and reschedule my surgery....fun, fun, fun...

I'm so sorry sweetie this has turned into such a train wreck for you.
But life is all about complications, isn't it?
For as hard as it is in the middle of health issues, remember that the mind is very powerful. Try to stay positive and think yourself well. I've had my share; I know. Good luck! What is it with snotty doctor's office receptionists??
