My Dr. Appointment

[cassiesmom]

Thanks everyone! They just called late this afternoon and I'm scheduled to go in Friday morning for the cat scan, and not until 05/15 for the ultra sound on my legs. Since they're suspecting a possibility of blood clots they are doing the ultra sound. That's the soonest they could get me in for that. I appreciate all your well wishes and I will update everyone when I hear something.

Aargh, that's not good. Here is my suggestion, I'm an insurance nurse. Call your physician's office in the morning and tell them you are on Friday's schedule for the CT scan of your chest, but the hospital can't schedule you for the ultrasound of your legs until May 15. And can your doctor intervene to get the test on your legs done on Friday as well. Maybe, if your doctor makes some noise, the hospital will get you in for the ultrasound on your legs on Friday, since you'll be over there for the CT scan already. One thing I have learned in the insurance world is that if you want to be the wheel that gets the oil, you have to squeak.

Lisa, I am so glad that the worries about Avon are off your chest.
But with your own health- I agree it is so hard to wait.
Keeping all my fingers crossed they find something they can treat easily.
