Well hello all. It’s been a minute since I’ve updated. Let’s see, I don’t really feel like typing so this will be short and bitter. Yesterday I missed work to take Mom to the E.R. We got there at 7 am and we left at 7 pm. Still without seeing a doctor. Yes the nurses checked her vitals every 3 hours but that was it. It was so crowded and nasty in the E.R. I’m surprised I lasted that long in there. It was fun people watching tho, it helped the time pass. Anywho, We left that hell hole and went home because the wait time was 12 to 24 hours to see a doctor. This is the Emergency Room mind you… 24 f*cking hours!!! People who were in the waiting room were there for over 24 hours so I don’t understand. I couldn’t fathom sitting there for another 12 hours. We said screw this, and left. This morning at 8 the E.R. called my Mom and said she should have been seen yesterday because her blood test was abnormal and she should go back to the E.R.
That was also a waste of time. They took another blood test and a urine test then made her sit back down in the lovely waiting room. :l She stayed there AGAIN today until 5pm when my dad got off work and went to see what was going on. Still no doctor so the left the E.R. I get home the same time they get home and I asked what happened. She said it was a waste of time to go there today. They didn’t do anything special, it was just a repeat of yesterday. Waiting… waiting… and more waiting….
When we checked the answering machine at home however, a doctor had called and said her surgery was reschedule for Feb 23. So the good news is she won’t have to be tapped, the surgery will remove all the fluid. YAY! That was a blessing, I totally forgot about the rescheduling of the ovarian cyst surgery. So all we have to do is hold on until Tuesday and the major surgery will be performed.
I’m scared but I know that it’s something that needs to be done and hopefully it will fix everything and my Mom can get back to normal and live a long healthy life.
