MY LABOR DAY WEEKEND :(

MY LABOR DAY WEEKEND REALLY SUCKED... I GOT A COLD A WEEK AGO WEDNESDAY... STAYED IN BED ALL WEEK... FINALLY GOT TOOOO BAD THAT I HAD TO GO TO THE ER FOR BREATHING, AND LOW AND BEHOLD THEY ADMITTED ME INTO THE HOSPITAL. I STAYED THEY GAVE ME MY MEDS THROUGH IV, AFTER BEING STUCK 9 TIMES FOR 1 IV, I WAS READY TO LEAVE THEN, BUT I STAYED BECAUSE I KNEW I NEEDED TO. DR CAME IN YESTERDAY MORNING TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO GO HOME THIS MORNING, SO MY DH STAYED OFF WORK TODAY TO BE ABLE TO BRING ME HOME, AS OF 3 PM NO DOCTOR STILL, AND HE WAS TELLING THE NURSE THAT I JUST NEEDED TO WAIT.... WHAT REALLY ANGERED ME WAS THAT HIS OFFICE IS RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE HOSPITAL AND HE COULDNT WALK ACROSS THE STREET TO DISCHARGE ME. I CALLED HIS OFFICE, I TOLD HIM THAT HE SAID THAT I WOULD BE DISCHARGED TODAY AND THAT I HAD 3 KIDS STANDING OUTSIDE IN THE HEAT WAITING FOR US TO GET HOME SO THAT THEY COULD BE LET INSIDE. STILL HE WOULD NOT COME RELEASE ME FROM THE HOSPITAL, SO I GOT REALLY MAD, I STARTED TAKING THE TAPE OFF MY HEPLOCK AND HAD IT READY TO BE REMOVED, TOLD THE NURSE THAT I WANTED TO BE DISCHARGED AMA. SHE BEGAN TO TELL ME THAT MY INSURANCE WOULD NOT PAY IF I LEFT AMA. I CALLED MY INSURANCE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD PAY AS I STAYED FOR THE TREATMENT. I CALLED MY PCP BACK, AND IN NO UNCERTAIN OR NICE WORDS, I TOLD HIM HE WAS A QUACK AND THAT I NO LONGER WISHED TO USE HIM AS MY PRIMARY CARE DR. AND HUNG UP. I SIGNED MY PAPERS AND LEFT THE HOSPITAL ON MY OWN AT 4 PM TODAY. THIS DR HAS BEEN ON MY NERVES FROM DAY 1 OF TRYING TO GET APPROVAL FOR MY SURGERY.. HE WOULD NOT DOCUMENT RIGHT, THEN HE DID NOT SEND A VERY GOOD LETTER OF MEDICAL NECESSITY. SEEMED AS THOUGH HE WAS VERY UNCARING ABOUT IT ALL, TOOK ME WHAT A MONTH JUST TO GET THE RIGHT PAPER WORK OVER TO THE SURGEON JUST TO GET IT SUBMITTED, AND THEN THEY KEPT SENDING PAPER WORK ABOUT MY BROKEN ANKLE INSTEAD OF BARIATRIC SURGERY. SO I THINK IT WAS TIME TO LET HIM GO ANYWAYS. I HAVE ALREADY FOUND A NEW PCP AND WILL BE SEEING HIM NEXT WEEK. KAT I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT YOU MY SWEET.... I WILL BE MAILING THE PACKAGE OFF FOR YOU TOMORROW OR FRIDAY... AS I HAVE BEEN UNDER THE WEATHER, I COULD JUST NOT BRING MYSELF TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE. OK I HAVE RANTED AND RAVED ENOUGH FOR TODAY. ALSO ON ANOTHER NOTE, THIS SAME PCP RELEASED ME BACK IN MAY WITH MY SUGAR AT ALMOST 500, YET THAT WAS THE REASON HE WANTED ME TO STAY TODAY BECAUSE IT WAS 401.. GO FIGURE. GOD BLESS, LORI
