I'm glad you're doing so well. It's utterly retarded that they made you wait so long in the first place--honestly, with that and the attitude of the nurses, it sounds like someone was trying to screw you. But it all turned out fine, so congratulations!

[soda_raison]

that's exactly how i felt. i felt like everyone was trying to stop me. though, i did forget to mention something i find kind of amusing...

they screwed up my name in admitting so i had to fill out the 'abortion counselling sheet' twice. i filled it out a bit different at teh end of the day right before the procedure because i wasn't so annoyed with not knowing whether or not i was going to get it done. the nurse who read it in the morning read it over again and said 'oh this one is a bit better. this morning she was all about sticking coat hangers up there hahaha!' ya, i didn't talk about the false sense of depression due to hormonal changes in the second one...i just said 'emotionally i'll feel relief'. weird eh? coat hangers? good lord! i know those don't work. it's vacuum cleaners and a spatula that does the trick.

Thanks for your story!! *hugs*

The "referral" line you called was probably an anti-choice agency that tries to dissuade people from having abortions. If you call up a clinic/provider you can usually get an appointment for the following week - there's no need for such a delay. They "scheduled" you for so much later because they were trying to make sure you'd be too far along to have an abortion.

If you feel comfortable enough, could you tell me the name of that "Referral" line so I can warn other women about it?

well i'm in windsor canada. i got the number from a doctor at the university of windsor student clinic. she said it was to the hospital here that does the procedure. i was kind of stupid about it because once i figured out what hospital it was, i could have called the ob clinic directly.

[eyelid]

You should tell the referrer that the number she has is incorrect. And maybe inform her supervisor that she's giving out bad numbers.
