Kelly would like some advice and prayers too

[smokey the elder]

I'm so sorry that Kelly is going through such a difficulty. There is a stigma attached to those in pain in this country that is little short of barbaric.

I am so sorry to hear that Kelly is going through such a terrible time with that witch. I hope she is able to talk to her doctor about it and get this situation settled once and for all.

Wolflady, here is a copy of a PM that I sent Kelly about 3 weeks ago that maybe you could relay to her since she doesn't have too much use of a computer.

Hi Kelly:

I just finished reading your thread, "I Miss You All" and reading something in my Woman's World today made me think of you. I wanted to send it here in case you missed it in the thread if I put it in there.
Her it is;
Looking for an understanding doctor?
Log on to www.aapainmanage.org to find a member of The American Academy of Pain Management, physicians devoted to treating pain.

I thought this might help you in case you needed to look elsewhere.

Take care
Lorraine

I know that Kelly likes her doctor, but thought she could keep this link in her file, for further use.

Prayers and positive thoughts on the way for our darling Kelly.

First, thanks so much for your advice, love and concern for me! (((((((((hugs))))))))

Second, I need to apoligize for my LJ entry. That anger is stemmed from YEARS (approx 10) of stuff like this. That was written as soon as I got home from my pharmacies...I hope you understand the state I was in when I wrote it. I don't usually speak like that about anyone.

You've given me AMAZING ideas, thank you soooo much!!!

Update:
Friday night, I was driving home (to mom's house - still living at CiCi's) and kind of praying to God. I was proud of how I sort of kept my center calmed, while I was going to battle with the reeptionist and office manager (not medically trained, btw). I realized that when my Cedars specialist wrote me pain meds to get me until I found a pain doc, I had some partials left over. I called them and asked them to fill them - just to get me through the weekend. When mom and I went to get it, I had 70 pills ready to pick up.

I survived the weekend.

Today, I called my pharmacy to try and fill it again, today was the absolute due date if I took the minimum amount. He told me my doc's office had called early that morning to fill it for me. Hmmm....sounds WAY different than the attitude (and quite honestly, screaming match) I'd gotten Friday.

I saw there was a message on my cell phone, but I had to work, so I checked it on the way home. It was the office manager. Telling me she talked to my doc, gave him my file and called in the rx. She asked that I called her.

I returned the call. Receptionist was nice and rude, so I wondered if I was going to be divorced from the office. Yea, not so. She was SUPER nice, told me she spoke with the doc, that I'm not a usual patient for them - thus my prescriptions aren't usual. Uh huh, struck me as odd...anyway, long story short, we're starting again and like Auntie Laurie suggested ((((hugs))) when I come in on the 27th, we're going to all talk and make sure she fully understands my prescriptions.

She asked if we could start anew because, "I'm not hard to get a long with and I'm quite sure either are you..." So I agreed and told her to have a nice holiday.

I will be telling my doc all about what happened. Debbie, you are RIGHT ON about I'm sure what he spoke with her about. Not weaning me was a HUGE no no. I told her that when she refused to fill the RX. I said, "So you'd rather a call at 3:00 a.m.?" Guess what she said?? "They wouldn't be calling ME!!" (ie: they'd call the doc...)

Anyway, I must get going. I'm helping mom bake tonight and I need to get CiCi and Phil to the tire store (got a flat) before 5:30. I'll check in tomorrow night, OK???

Hugs and LOVE,
Kelly

It sure sounds like once your file got in the doctors hands things became clear to him that you were in need and that maybe some miscommunications from his office occurred. Glad the office manager realized she wasnt the most professional person in the office. It's good that you all will sit down and chat that way noone misunderstands.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Thank goodness things are going better Kelly. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers always sweetie! Take care. (((((HUGS)))))

MMM, Kelly, that is indeed good news - your prescription filled - everyone seeming to calm down.............BUT, I would still have your say when you meet the Dr.

He has a problem in his office that must be dealt with. The woman has some issues that are harmful to her bosses patients.

But I am glad that you are feeling better now.

You know that you have my support and love.
