Well, I had my mam today. First they did the ultrasound. I kind of panicked because the tec that took the pictures with the ultrasound said, "I have to go show these to the radiologist and I will be back." So okay, I am laying there trying to look at the screen (like i know what to look for), and the tec comes back with the radiologist. I thinking, oh wonderful, whats wrong??

So he introduced himself, very kind man, then started poking and all over the place; lolol. He asked me a couple of questions and replied with this; hhhmmmmm. Like he was deep in thought. Then I think he looked at my face, fear taken over, and said, "I am sorry, I wanted come take a look but don't see anything alarming." I was like, wwhhhewwwffffff. I thought I was going to yell, "What the hell is wrong"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, we talked for a few mins and he said he feels that the mam needs to be done in case anything was missed and of course wanted to do both breasts. So this was fine.

So they took me over to the mam department. I had this lovely lady, so gentle. Interesting positions though. lolol. but it did not hurt at all. Not that I want to go have it done everyday. She sent me to the waiting room, came out 5 mins later and said, "You can go now, have a good day." So I felt really good leaving there. Not worried anymore. My doctor will have results next week, I have to be there anyway. So this looks promising. So glad its done.

Okay, sorry, this is a long post. Please excuse my babbling.

Went to see my doctor. Blood work not so great but its been worse. He was upset cause nobody has contacted me yet for counseling. I said I had left a message for my t yesterday, but would phone again today. He asked if the psychiatrist had phoned yet, I said no. (my old one that's hour and half away) He got mad and said that its just nonesense. This needs to start right away. He said he is phoning my old doc himself. He had sent in a referral, but that was a while back. He was disappointed with my intake. I felt guilty. But he didn't freak. He did say he knows its hard and that without this counseling in place, it makes it even tougher to get the medical end straightened. So he is out of town right away, won't be back till Monday. I have to go then with an intake sheet.

We shall see then. He was a little worried about how much weight I dropped in so little time. I have to get my blood work done again next week. Oh well, needles don't bother me.

(((((Justy)))) I bet your glad that's over. The radiologist seems like a nice man and I'm sure the results will come back fine! I'm sending some good thoughts your way regarding that!

Your blood work is getting better then? That's what it sounds like to me. Ok, so maybe it's not perfect, but nothing ever is! My CBC's always come back with high white blood cell counts. :P darn infections....always that way!

Needles didn't used to bother me, and still don't but the lady who put my iv in at the ER a few weeks ago sucked big time. That thing hurt the entire time it was in and really hurt coming out. She had it in too deep. If she'd have just pulled it out a bit and taped all would've been fine. But no, now I have a ugly green looking bruise on my hand (yeah, still...LOL)

I think I got off topic and went into a fullblown rant. Sorry bout that. I'm glad that things are getting better. Your MD is a very good man and I'm so glad you have someone who's there willing to help you as much as he is. You're very lucky.

I'll send good vibes regarding the pdoc getting in touch and also the counseling. Darn them they are slow huh?

Take Care dear,
Kimberly.

HEHE. U didn't get off topic, was cute. Not to make fun of your IV, but was funny how you wrote it. You should of asked her if you could put one in her arm the same way she did yours; lolol.

No, my blood work went down some, little though. Its just not to the degree of what it was like while I was in the h. Not to far off, so I am worried about my doc talking to the pdoc. My pdoc, this one, is big on placing me in the h. He knows what my mind is thinking before I speak; lolol. So this worries me. But, it needs to be discussed and the only way to get this on the positive side. (that make any sense?) Well you all know what I meant. hehe.

Yes, pdoc's, medical anything takes time. I keep in mind that they have many other patients that need much more help then this silly bum. lolol. No, really, they are busy. I do understand.

Thanks for the good vibes, sending some back your way. (by the way, I loved your poem.) ((((ktp))))

Just keep taking one step at a time, girl! You're doing great!! I'm glad to hear that your mammogram wasn't too traumatic.

And about IVs- last month, they put one in me in the emergency room and had me keep it in overnight when I went home so they could use it in surgery the next day. It hurt when they put it in. By the time I slept with it in and bumped into it a few times, it hurt SO bad and had bled a LOT. They had to floosh out the blood the next day and that HURTS bad. Then they almost decided to start a new one rather than re-use that one! My hand was sore for several days afterward

So how's THAT for a rant about IV's? lol

Ouch!!! Yep those things sure suck. When I was sick at Chritmas last year, the same kind of thing kept happening. I was not impressed cause every day they had to put a new one in. My hands were sooo swollen. They kept them in daily, but always had to start new the following day. Go figure that one; duh.

But this one nurse started the IV even when I was practically ready to grab this thing out of my hand. Well what had happened was it was not even in the vein. So she started it but my hand just swelled. Was not to happy, and she was a bag to boot. Then she went to the bed next to me, (curtains closed and all), and said, "It is a wonder how sulky people are, this job gets annoying at time. I have had children that handle these things better." Talk about MADDDDD. My bf was with me and when the doctor came in to talk to me, he said to him that she is not to come in here again, unless she can use some professionalism. I was glad that he stuck up for me. (she did not come back in;lolol).

The bad part of all of this was I kept having allergic reactions to everything. The first day, my tounge, throat, cheeks swelled up and was getting really hard to breathe. They moved pretty darn fast though. I was wreching so bad my tummy hurt for days after. Benadril was the trick. So the next day, same thing but it was much milder. So they decided to give me the benadril before giving anything first. Good plan.

I am not normally afraid of needles, really don't bother me. If anything I have to watch, its so cool. The only one that really killed was the spinal tap (whatever u call it). Had to check for meningitis. (man my spelling is so sucky; sry). Just ignore the stupid typing and spelling. hehe.

Anyway, I really didn't mean to babble again. Its just my nature; sry.

Have a good night all,

Justy
