update on FOXFIRE
Hi all just want to tell what a day I had today in Dr Schauer’s office, We start
out @ 10:15 am this morning on the way down to Pittsburgh, I developed a
migraine{just what I needed for this trip} after about an hr of driving I asked
my DH to pull over I needed to vomit. OK we continue on… we get up to the
office & checked in @ 1:13pm my apt. is for 1:15pm… So we go & sit down, & we
waited 1 hr goes by, we waited 2 hrs go by, I go back up to the desk & ask what
is taking so long that I really don’t feel good I vomited 2 more times after we
get checked in & I tell them this they told me that I would be next as soon as
they got me a room empty. OK well 4 or 5 people come out but they still dont
call me in, I go back up to see what was going on & They tell me Dr.Schauer got
called out to an emergency OK fine but when they call & take this other lady
waiting to see Dr Schauer in to the room I was alittle ticked off & I guess it
was a bit to much because they called security on me because I was speaking to
loudly that not everyone needed to hear what I was saying & I said well your
alittle late because everyone already knew we had been sitting there talking
about how they took this lady whose apt was @ 3:00 in before me & me apt was for
1:15….The lady said I dont know why but she went back to find out & that is
when all the trouble started & I got pulled back down the hall trying to hush me
& not speak loudly to late by then I was furious I feel like crap & then they
try to pull this B.S. on me so anyways they take me in to see Dr. Jeffery Lourd
which is fine because I have seen him before. I like him he is a good Dr. He
asked how I am doing & I tell him terrible I have a migraine, I have thrown up
twice since I got there, I cant keep nothing in me other then cream of wheat or
yogurt, I have diarrehea more then do regular B.M.’s. I am a mess. he asked
what meds I was on so I told him, he takes my pulse, has me sit on the table
feels my belly, take out my picc-line, tells me I am doing great & he will see
me in ….are you ready for this???? 3 MONTHS???? yes I did say 3 MONTHS….NOW
you tell me what is wrong with this picture? or is it just me? if I am sitting
there feeling sicker the hell you are going to tell me to come back in 3 months?
Especially since I have been in & out of the hospital after being dehydrated so
much!!! I just dont understand this? Am I being punished for speaking to
loudly? For standing up for myself & my apt? I just dont get it, I am not
feeling good at all & worried that I am dehydrated again cuz I have been so
much in the past & he tells me I am doing good I dont need to come back for 3
MONTHS? OK my on-line friends I NEED to hear what you think before I call down
there Monday morning, I am just at a loss over this I don’t know what to think.
I put all my faith & beliefs in this Dr’s office & this is how I am treated? I
don’t even know where to begin Monday morning because I just know I am not going
to get to speak to Dr.Schauer & If I try writing him a letter it will never
reach him personally, Am I just to go on with out his care? Follow up with my
PCP? which really dont know much if anything about this kind of surgery I had
done? Help my on-line friends PLEASE Help I honestly dont know what to do next?
