...Still Waiting...

So...This has been the most tedious and annoying thing that I have had to deal with besides living as a fat person. I had my last pulmonary appointment last week and called Snyder's office on Tuesday to see if they had received any of the results (wishful thinking I guess). I was told no, so I decided to call the pulmonary doctor's office to see if I could give 'em a little nudge... I found out they LOST part of my test results!!! Let's just say I was seeing a little more than red during that conversation. UGH! So after talking myself down from killing everyone within a 3000 mile radius, I realized that it wasn't done on purpose and I would have to wait a bit longer. The hospital called a little later on that day to schedule a "make-up test". They told me that the next available appointment they had was the following day (Wednesday) at 9:30 AM. I took it, because I wanted to get it out of the way as soon as possible (to move things along as fast as I can). I thought it wouldn't be a problem with my job to leave for a couple of hours and just use vacation time. I knew it would be "unexcused" since I didn't give them 24 hours notice (like I give a shit about their stupid "unexcused" crap!!! What am I in elementary school again?!). I went into work the next day and told my boss that I had gone to have a breathing test last Friday and had to make up a test that they had lost the results too(at 6:00 in the morning, so they knew as early as possible) and asked if it would be cool. She started to tell me that it probably wouldn't be since I work 4 10's and am not able to make up and time. I told her that I didn't plan on making it up and just wanted to use vacation time. She told me that she didn't think it would be possible still. I told her that if I had to get a note from the doctor I would (I don't take advantage of calling in sick or coming in late to work EVER, so I didn't get what the problem was! I STILL don't as I am typing this blog!!) She said she would have to talk to our unit manager and see if it would be OK...............Let me repeat myself, she had to ask someone else if it was OK.......AREN'T YOU MY F*CKING BOSS BITCH!? SIGH!!! So, long story short, the unit manager said it was fine and I went to the appointment. It still pisses me off and it is now FRIDAY! Whatever!

So I called the pulmonary doctor to see the results and they said they hadn't received the results yet.....The medical center I had to go to to have the tests done is DOWN THE STREET from my doctor!!!! They knew I was ANNOYED, so they said they could just print them out from the web and if they were normal results would fax it over to Snyder's office today. Unfortunately Dolly isn't in the office today and she is the one that schedules the surgeries. I have to wait until Monday afternoon to actually get it (HOPEFULLY!!). I am calling first thing Monday morning to get my date because I am no longer taking my blood pressure medication, anti-depressant, or birth control pills and in the last week alone have gained 7 POUNDS! Coming off the anti-depressants have made me eat EVERYTHING in sight!!! I swear!!

So...Now back to what I have been doing for 3, almost 4 months.....Waiting.....
