Hallelujah! I'm ALLOWED to see another Dr.!

Imagine that! After two days of symptoms and a trip to ER and the clinic is finally "ALLOWING" me an appt. with another dr.! Well praise the ground they walk on! I'm a lucky person because I "should be lucky I have the appt" I have on March 10! Got a call from some lady at the clinic this morning, asking how I am. Of course I said the same as I was two days ago when I went to ER! So she said that an appt. had "opened up" with one of their other drs. today at 1:20. I'm going. I was going to go to another hospital today anyway. So not 10 minutes later, my dr. calls me personally saying he is heading out of town this morning (I was told he was GONE until the 10th!) and that he wants me to see one of this associates. He said that I should not go to the ER unless I'm super sick because I will only sit there for hours. Really? Guess I can confirm that. He said that he had TOLD his CLINIC staff that any post op with problems HAS to be worked in to clinic THAT DAY. Well, I can tell you I have talked to no less than 5 different people answering the phone, and all I get is run-around and that I should be happy with what I have because that's the best they can do. I don't know whether to be happy that they have hired more people to work on this huge backlog of stuff I've been hearing about, or whether to cry because they all think these drs. walk on water and you have to have permission just to see one of them! Anyway, my fever disappated last night so I decided to wait until today to go in anywhere. I didn't want my kids to have to put up with being here alone again for another evening/night. Anyway, my fever is down to 99 this morning, about where it was when I went to ER. They don't seem to think that is anything anyway. But the pain, swelling and bleeding still persists. So we will see what happens today. I am seeing Amy Williams old dr. and I know she has high praise for him. Also, if this is a gall bladder episode, he would be the doc to take care of me anyway, so "they" say.
