My Journey April 3

I finally got the blood tests that I have been trying to get for so long.

I got tired of the Dr office not doing what they were supposed to be doing. So I went to the office and walked right past the woman at the desk. She called me back, but I just kept walking.

The I walked right into the lab and started giving orders. And I got BOTH of the tests that I have wanted. One for Chronic Pulmonary Histoplasmosis and the other for fibrosing Medaiastinitis, The Dr re-wrote the orders right then. And I was still there when they packed them up for shipment and watched the man take them off.

One goes to the CDC and the other to a lab in Michigan. I know it will take weeks for them to come back, but I am going to call each week and ask about them

The when I was leaving, the nurse tried to talk to me, but I walked right past her and left the office. Let them figgure out to bill me.

the when I got home the nurse called and asked, "Was everything OK?"

I just said, "Yes, it was" then hung up.

This is the woman who refused to tell the Dr I had even called and made me wait almost 4 months for an appointment.

NOw just two more fights on my hands. One the rheumy won't increase the pain meds, or even just give me something for breakthrough pain. When I ask he just has this smirk on his face and says, "I don't believe in breakthrough pain meds."'
Makes me want to slap that s*** eating smirk right off his face.

The the Thorasic surgeon won't let the Oncologist read the PET scans

Don't know how, but I will get what I need..

This is my life that they are screwing with.
