Well, friday I was extremely ill. I thought "oh great, this is it..." haha, good old drama. It was just the flu. So, I still have my problem. But the GI surgery place called me and asked "why on earth did you cancel your appointment? And why don't you want to have that stent removed." Because the surgeon was concerned that I had not rescheduled.

I told the woman it was because I don't have the money for the up-front co-pay and that I would surely love to have it out but thanks to their policy I can't. She wasn't concerned. Then I told her to tell the surgeon I was very sick with fever and vomiting. She said, "Well why should I tell her you just need to go to the ER." That was it. Hung up again. I swear they hire the most careless staff over there.

My extremely good surgeon (the gallbladder one who is a general surgeon,) his nurse went through all my symptoms and said it is probably the flu and not to go to the ER unless I couldn't keep anything down. Well, I could at last and just rested and now I'm fine. But, I feel like this is the shadow over me. From now on whenever I'm sick I"m going to freak out....
