Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The Okie Dokie gal from the surgeon’s office just called to confirm my appointment for tomorrow morning. She also let me know that I needed to bring in my mammogram films tomorrow. What? She forgot to mention that two weeks ago!!! Argh!! I have a call in the imaging center, but their main message speaks of *mailing* films after a faxed authorization. I will need to pick them up in order to keep this appointment but I don’t know if I can do that. So now I wait for a return call. Otherwise this all gets pushed off again. Sigh.
Okie dokie.
UPDATE – Chula Vista has the films still!! The biopsy was on Feb 13th and they still have not send them back to La Jolla! Crap. So now I had to postpone the appt with the surgeon to NEXT Friday and I have to cross my fingers that I can reach a human at the CV center in time to get the films sent to me. Ugh. For those keeping track, the initial mammogram which showed the calcifications was the second week in December and there is STILL no resolution.
UPDATE #2 – Chula Vista is sending the films via messenger to Encinitas (It’s all one hospital network). I was able to re-schedule my appointment for next Friday. I spoke with a different office staff member and when I told her about the bad information she was very apologetic and got me the first available appointment. The Dr only does office visits on Tuesdays and Fridays as it is. She was willing to call me if there is a Tuesday cancellation, but of course that is my Jury Duty day which I have postponed twice already and really just want to get done! Of course, now I have a very good excuse to use if they try to sit me on a panel :->
I’ll come out there and beat her up for you.
Hugs and Smooches

You might consider speaking with the practice manager. Explain the situation and then ask her how she would feel if it were her breasts and her health at stake. Would she want to be treated the same way her office is treating you? Perhaps she can speed things up for you.

Hey honey,
My cell doesn’t work at the camp, so we can only stay connected through the tubes.
I love you my sister,
