thirteenrocksI had my 2 week follow up appointment for my leg pain today at 2:30. I left the Clinic at 4:30. 2 hours down the tubes.
The Doctor, who I saw 2 weeks ago, was an HOUR late for my apointment. I sat in the exam room BORED out of my ass. She came in and basically did the same song and dance routine again. She couldn't of read my chart prior to comming in, because I had to retale my symptoms all over again. Total waste of time.
The deal is this: I have constant pain down my left leg. It hasn't resolved. Its constant. Sometimes worst then other times, but constant.
Luckily, she decided to do x-rays and a MRI. I'm better with OBJECTIVE data that I can see, then just me saying "it hurts", or describing the pain. The x-rays were done this afternoon, the MRI is schedueled at 9:30 a.m. tomarrow. Yippie skippy. I get to stay up all morning! I'm so excited-NOT.
Once the results come in, we will take it from there. Steriod injection, maybe surgery.
How do I feel? I don't know. Kind of fed up with the "system". Thank goodness I know the loop holes, and how to work them. A little scared, as nursing is the only thing I know that supports me these days. Seriously, if I lost my nursing job, I would have to resort to, I don't know, eating MR. Borris? Hmmm 8-). At anyrate we take what comes, digest it, and move on.
