And the wait continues.......

I am so beyond upset and angry right now. Bottom line is that I won't get any results until sometime Monday afternoon. Somebody fucked up. Actually alot of somebodys fucked up.

I called my clinic again this morning because I didn't want to be forgotten about another day. The guy at the answering service said he personally gave them my first message as soon as they got in and would call to tell them again. About 15 minutes later, I got a call from my clinic. It was someone I haven't spoken with on the phone before. She was confused and wondered why I wanted to stop my medications.

Me: "Ummmm, I want to know the results of my beta so I can know for sure that I should stop my medications. I was in yesterday for a blood draw and nobody called me with my results."

Her: "Wait, you were in on Saturday for beta results? Which clinic did you go to?"

Me: "Yes, I had a blood draw at around 7:45AM Saturday in the Pasadena office - the only office I have ever been to and the only office where Dr. K is at."

Her: "You aren't on the schedule until tomorrow so they must have done you as an add-on."

Me: "Yes, they did add me and they didn't seem to know why I was there. My paperwork says to come in on 07/12/08 between 7:30 and 10AM for the beta and that is exactly what we did."

Her: "We don't do betas on the weekends."

Me: "Then why would they tell me to come in then?"

Her: "I don't know. It looks like somebody made a mistake and wrote down the wrong date on your paperwork. I will pull it and let the office manager know so she can talk to her. We won't have the results back until Monday?"

Me (shaky voice and tears now flowing): "You have to be kidding me, right? This is ridiculous. Why wouldn't they tell me this yesterday when they did the blood draw?"

Her: "I don't know."

Me: "Do you have any idea what kind of emotional hell this is? I am so angry and upset. I tested at home on Friday and it was negative and I just want to stop the medications and be done with it all."

Her: "I'm so sorry that this happened. I will let Dr. K know as soon as he gets in tomorrow."

Me: "I already sent Dr. K an email yesterday. I can't even believe this. What time will I get a call tomorrow?"

Her: "The results should be in around 1 or 2 and I will let T know to call you right away."

Me: "This is so ridiculous. I just want to be done with all of this. I'm out of Lovenox and baby aspirin anyway. I just can't believe this. God, I am so angry!!"

Her: "I'm sorry. You should be fine without 1 day of Lovenox and you can get the baby aspirin OTC. Continue with the progesterone, estrogen, prednisone, and vitamins."

Me: "I'll just take whatever I have left. I really don't care anymore at this point."

Her: "I'm really sorry."

Me: "Okay, bye."



I got an auto-reply message that Dr. K is out of the office from July 4 until July 13 so I don't expect to hear from him until tomorrow - and I had better hear from him personally. I am just so done with it all. Have I said, "Fuck this sucks" yet today?

Thank you so much for all your support through this. I really think I would be in a padded room right now without all your comments and understanding. Just knowing somebody "gets" how upsetting this is makes a huge difference. Much love.
