Doctors suck

[sch00lteacher]

I just posted something similar on another thread but I still feel the need to vent, talk, scream? I don't know something.

I am supposed to have my right hip replaced Tuesday. I went this Tuesday to do all the pre-op crap, which included a blood test to see if I might need blood.

This morning the doctor's nurse calls me, wants to know if I am avaliable to see my primary care doctor. Of course I ask why. She says that one of the levels on my blood work was very high and they want to find out why. So of course I said sure.

I go to the doctor, not my normal one, SHE, I prefer female doctors, isn't there so I see some strange doctor, something I don't like.

Try to get a straight answer out of this guy, I couldn't. All I know is that I am either fine, and the test was screwed up. Or that I will need a bunch of other tests and the surgery will be put off. Now I have been stressing about the surgery as it is. I had my left hip done in June so I know how much pain is involved. Not really looking forward to it. Adding this is too much.

So either the test messed up. Or I could just be dehydrated. Or I could have cancer, or... SHIT

Fucking doctors. So I come home, get on google, and scare the crap out of myself.

Think I will go take down the Halloween crap. I would rather go pound on something with my head for an hour or two.

I seem to be giving a few of those out today.

Hon, Doctors have bad days, just like everyone else.

Go eat lots of haloween candy. Always makes you feel better.

Dear Gawd! Do not get on the net after a doc visit. Hypocondria will set in!
Seriously though, try to calm down. Don't worry until you definitely have something to worry about. I've felt the anxiety before. Here's a poem I wrote last year as I sat and waited for news.

"Waiting for the Doctor to Call" June-2000

I'm sitting here
at the mercy
of demi-gods
wrapped in white shrouds
up on pedestals of rubber heels
tablets of power
with my weight in gold

Sucking out my power
as each passing minute
robs me of mine
the phone
an extension coard of medicine
time could be
eating away at my flesh
there could be minimonsters
climbing my uterus

But their knowledge
is kept from me
by the vault of geography
~SA~


Hang in there! My thoughts and prayers go with you.

Good news I am not dying! Seems like they made a mistake on the first blood test. Assholes.

Thanks for the hug. I needed it today.

Heavy sigh.

So anyhow...

Now that a bucket full of stress has been lifted, I actually felt it go, I feel much better.

Surgery is still on for next Tuesday. Means I will be out of work until next year. I won't be able to do much for about a month. Then only a little at a time. I am still healing from the first hip. But it feels so much better than it did before that I want the second one done. I am really looking forward to not having hip pain. Something I have had bad for about ten years. And something I have had for more than twenty.

At least they give out really good medicine. Morophine and oxicontin (sp). I won't know who I am for the first week.

Again, thanks for the love and support. It is the only reason I came here to share. Great people here.

Wait, isn't that oxicontin (sp?) stuff the stuff that has been killing people? I know I read something about it recently, but I can't remember what it was. I thought something like 200+ people died from it.

Oh, Dr. Oliver, where are you?

Oxicotin's are what my husband is addicted to. The people being killed are abusing it by emptying the capsule and snorting the medicine. It's a time release drug, and by snorting it they get the whole high at once. He also chews them up so maybe they come in diff forms. It has been causing a lot of deaths, I believe strokes or heart problems. He seems to think he is invincible.

From what I understand (since finding out he does herion when oxi's aren't available), the high to taking herion is similar.

That's what it was! I read something about the manufacturer not putting something in the capsule that prevents the "high" from taking the stuff all at once, like in snorting it. Other narcotics have something that make them lose their effect somehow if people try to do that. It was cheaper not to do that, if I remember correctly, so they didn't with Oxicotin.

oxicontin

Is that how you spell that?

I took them with the first hip. They do strange things to you head, but man they work on the pain. I din't know my wife for awhile. I didn't know what day it was, lost all track of time, doze off and think a day went by, that sort of thing.

The first two days are the worst. So next Tuesday and Wednesday I will feel like total shit.

So much fun to look forward to.

This time they might do a spinal block instead of knocking me out. I guess last time they did I came out fighting. And I am a big bastard. I have no problem as long as I am really doped up. I don't really want to hear the saw as they cut the bone off, or hear the tapping when they hammer the steel in. But then that might be really cool. I guess...
