Schedule woes

Views: 377

I feel like I’m banging my head against the wall! Next Tuesday I’m supposed to go in to get my bloodwork, chat with my doctor, get chemo and radiation. Wellllll…at first they had my chemo scheduled for 5 pm. With it taking 5 hours to get and me not wanting to spend all night at the hospital again, I asked for an earlier time. Poof my schedule changed to noon. Great except I’m supposed to have radiation at 3:45, and they didn’t ask if noon would work they just changed it. Well I ask my radiation guy if I can do that in the morning. The only time he has is at 10, when I’m supposed to be in with my doctor. So I email to see if I can change my Dr. time. “Dr. S is booked for that day. Have a good day.” That was the reply I got! I don’t even know who to talk to now. I’m sure everyone is going to tell me to ask someone else. Grrrr…Robin said that she saw someone down in radiation with their chemo. So maybe I can just wheel down at that time. I’m so frustrated. My team isn’t doing so well with my schedule. And I’m taking it out on Robin, so she’s mad at me right now. Good thing my sis is coming to take me to treatment today.

On to another topic. Yeah, that constipation is allll cleared up. I was up all night. Very grumpy. I’m throwing a royal hissy fit. I want to be done already! I feel like I’m eating more pills than food.

But, tonight we’re going to a concert. Hopefully I’ll feel good through the whole thing. I’m a little nervous. It doesn’t even start until 10, which is my usual bedtime. But since I was up all night, I slept until noon. That should help.

I hope everyone is doing great!

Thanks so very much for sending me your kind words when I received my great bone marrow biopsy news. What a miracle this is for me. It is almost 14 years since I was diagnosed. Heck, what did they know? I know this is really rough on you but if you ever need a shoulder, I have a big one and I am a good listener. My thoughts and prayers will be with you, Patty

SChedules, schedules, schedules. This sounds just like my doc’s office. They schedule me for a 15 minute appointment with a doctor and then schedule a bone marrow biopsy without telling me, because “the doctor had time”. They didn’t seem to understand when I told them not to schedule anything for me without chekcing first.

Anyway, I hope today goes as well as it can for you, will keep you in my thoughts, and look for your next posting.
