Recently I "drafted" a blog titled Poked and Prodded. Unfortunately it did not make it to the posting phase. This happens from time to time, I begin a piece (sounds fancy right?) and then "save now" it, in hopes that I'll finish/edit later and be able to proudly move to the "Publish Post." Doesn't always happen. In this case, I peaced out completely on P and P and at this time have revamped and can tell you even more about my exciting doctor adventures!It started out with an Urgent care, ER, Primary Care, GI jont. While most of you can eat a bacon and egg breakfast sandwich, turns out I cannot. On top of my usual constant unexplainable dull achy stomach, I had some pains that were pure evil a few weeks back. Come to find out, I may have even passed a gallstone during that 4 hour sesh, says my Gastro interologist, Sally. My dreams of four little grommets running around one day was almost a nightmare. Getting pretty unraveled I may have spouted off, "If this is what child birth is like, I'm NOT having kids!" Harsh.
As of a week ago, I've now seen (and shared with others) color photos of my inner parts. Who knew what a "bulb" was until now? After 7 days of waiting, and another co-pay, tomorrow Sally and company will let me in on what's happening with my bulbs, intestines and other like parts.
In the spirit of Go-mode, I called on some other Docs today as well. The Neuro, Dr Janine (goes by "Doctor" then her first name, normally a situation that calls for judgment) let me know that my HMO (total racket, but probably better than any program a certain powerful cigarette enthusiast is trying to run, for another time) denied my request to see her. The old insurance, also not great but did the job, allowed me to see a $300 an hour Neurologist, while this one does not. Boo. Under the belief that "all you have to do is ask," I got all of my migraine-tastic questions answered AND a refill on my meds all over the phone...which is free. woohoo! In addition to Dr. Janine's convo, I finally bit the bullet (actually I bit my CHEEK really, really hard and it still hurts like a motha, maybe a Dentist appointment is also in order?) and put in a call I've been putting off to Dr. Lee. If I go from the overwhelming Double D's to a lovely looking C-cup, you'll know Dr Lee has done his job. Gotta love a waived consultation fee from a student's Plastic Surgeon Dad! Soon the question will be are my back and neck problems really from Gnarly Car Accident 2006, or perhaps due to the 20 pound burdens I've been carrying since I was 14!?! To be determined! If so, you better believe I'm stickin it to the man...whose name is Aetna Value Network!
