I'm going to the doctor

I need more than pills, and I know it. I called the doctor's office and told them my symptoms (according to the net I should be in ER now) and this crazy bitch said, oh, I can get you in in 10 days. Like I'm supposed to be impressed with her kindness. I said, no, fuck that, I need in today or I'm going to ER and tell them about this phone call. I really did. She said I could come in at 3 pm. So, that's where I'll be this afternoon.
*
I am not taking any more lame explanations, I want my heart checked and I want to be checked for embolisms. Enough of this bullshit. I can no longer lay down. I slept sitting up last night and I had a dream that I was driving a semi. I was scared but determined to learn to drive it. I got stuck on a dark deserted road and these weird cops pulled up and said, this is the end of the line for you, we've caught you now. And I said, wrong, buddy, look, I have a trucker's license. LOL. And I pulled it out an waved it in their face and then I woke up.
*
So, I'll be back..or I won't. Someone will let you know what happens if I can't get back here right away.

So glad you are seeing a doc. Can't really say a "medical professional" since there probably isn't one in that lame one horse town. Will be thinking about you, Pat! Let us know what you find out.

Oh Geeze DD, please keep us posted, I'll be shooting out positive vibes.
If you still feel bad, you're doing the right thing. Don't take lame answers that don't make sense, demand explanations!

I hope you get some answers soon! Sending good thoughts your way...

Dirty Disher said...

Thank you all. You know what pisses me off though? My docotor ignored me until I can no longer put things off and now it's 18 inches of snow and I have to scrape ice off the car with my one good arm today. I could not lift laundry to wash it. And I am down to my last pair of clean undepants and they are old and trashy looking. It just pisses me off. No one wants to wear old rag pants under one of those fucked up hospital gowns. That's awful. well, so be it. Maybe I'll flash them old lady rag panties.

Heidi said...

Good Luck! Positive thoughts going your way!

Dirty Disher said...

Wait, I am thinkin' now. I'll leave early and get some new ones. The dollar store is out by the hospital. I'll change 'em when they have me pee in a cup. Yay, me for figuring a way out of total humiliation.

Dirty Disher said...

And yes, I will hide the old rag tag ones in my bag. LMAO!

Girl, I love ya' but you know what they are gonna say. "Stop smoking". And please do! We want you healthy, your family & Lis wants you healthy. This made me sick. I am 52 and have way too many friends/relatives with heart problems. I hope they find nothing serious wrong. I will be worrying about you. Thinking of you and sending my well wishes your way. I am so glad you are going to get w/e it is fixed! Good for you. I wasn't aware that you were so ill. You really don't complain about your health. The trucker story was funny, except I didn't like thinking of you having to sleep sitting up. Been there, it's not a good rest. Get better. Love you.

Get better soon! Hugs and well-wishes from Sweden.

Melissa said...

Cracking up about the underpants! I can see myself doing the same thing and making an extra stop, regardless of how difficult, to get out of the old-raggedy-underwear-at-the doctor's situation.

Will wait to hear how everything went.

Anonymous said...

Good luck and I hope everything turns out okay, Pat. I'll be thinking of you.
As for the "we can see you in 10 days" bullshit. . . it has to stop. People in doctor offices with minimal education feel empowered to sit in judgment on if you should come in to be seen or how long you should wait. It's wrong. Totally wrong. Healthcare for the aggressive, is what I call it at work, and it has to stop. You shouldn't have to work so hard to receive care when you need it. Grrrrr. . . it just sets my teeth on edge.

If I could manage it, I would send you one of those nice cans of prestone de-icer for your windshield. I'm so sorry you're having to scrape with one arm.

Silvia said...

I'm thinking of you & wishing you the best. I hope that they find an answer for you & that it's a readily correctable problem.

Do not follow your doctor's orders blindly. You know your body better than they do & don't let them push you around.

And your truck driver dream was a hoot! Hope it was at least a union job and getting stopped by cop is better than being trapped under a too short underpass in Chicago.

Let Fibro fight her own battles. Are you sitting in your tacky rocker, on you tacky carpet, in front of your ever so tacky tree, in PAAAAIINNNNN? Having your lesbo daughter and whipped husband brang you ur pills whilst u hold ur precious puppy!

Brig is a fake, a sham and a wanna be looking for any attn whatsoever.

10doll said...

Anonymous- Oh no can do dog shit! That's not how we work. Brigs battles are also our battles. I'd take a fake, a sham & a wannabe like you claim Brig is,over you & your fucked up life any day. I think it's you that's craving attention,since you continue to chime in with your shit comments.

SharnaPax said...

We've hit more than 200 on the first post, and blogger crapped out.

What I said: Pat may not "need" anything, but she will get a package from me and spousal unit (he is also concerned). Casey, deliver when you can, beware of horrible roads. Take care of yourself, too.

And: the trolls just wish they had such love and support.

And I will be there 12:00 central.
