Boring Post Alert

UGH! The frustrations boil!! Let me back track a bit. My doctor...three weeks ago, gave me a med that was suppose to help me while we wait on labs. Well... it was a Friday and their lab was closed so we had to wait until Monday. Then FINALLY labs come back a few days later and they have a few high abnormal readings but nothing shocking. Next up..CT scan. They call me on a Thursday saying to stop taking my med (since it wasn't helping) and they would schedule a CT scan. On Friday last week I finally heard back that my CT scan would be on Wednesday (today) ...my first reaction was why so long?? I've gone directly to CT from the dr office before so why is this any different? She was rude and something about referral etc..whatever...I waited...and waited...So today gets here and I have an 815 appointment. I decided no food or drink probably which I'm glad I did. They looked over my file and asked about allergies ( I have been here for a sono before so they have history) and the paper I filled out said I am ALLERGIC to contrast dye...so I hand her back the papers. Obivously...she knows I'm there for a contrast CT and the paper I just handed her in BOLD says allergy to contrast dye...HMM!! She hands me this drink. Here is barium...drink it and they should be with your shortly. Barium? They didn't tell me this. I asked her if it had any side effects etc...she said don't know...I'm just the receptionist.  So I sip on it a bit (disgusting) and they call me to the back. As I'm talking to the radiologist she's reading my paper and looks at me and says STOP! HUH? She asked why they gave me the barium drink when my paperwork has all over it allergic to contrast AND why would my dr send me without premedicating me before scan. ARGG!! She called my specialist and for some reason they didn't know of my allergy so here I am.... in a waiting game....but they won't allow me to do the test outside of the hospital at this point. The side effect of the barium was disgusting to say the least....and my dr never called back today to get another CT scan rescheduled...:( Besides that exciting stuff the  kids are well! Abigail is growing so fast and saying so much. Caleb is busy with school and relaxing before baseball begins. Nick started back on the flight line this week and loves it :P(sarcasm)Sorry for the complaining....but I'm going to one day look at this blog and remember this dark time and see how far I've come...I'm so ready to be better <3
