Me & my kidney
I don't think I've ever been this miserable for this length of time before. I think I've spent most of the past week on the phone to my doctor's office, mostly leaving messages for the chick who does their referrals. I finally got ahold of her yesterday. She seems to be having trouble getting me an appointment with a kidney specialist. I looked in the phone book, and there are only nine of them in town. I'm worried about this. I already had to get them to give me a refill on my pain meds because I ran out while waiting for them to get me in to see someone...
I hate my life sometimes.
So, in between everything else I have to do today, I've got to call her back again, find out how it's going, and get ahold of my NP. Since at this rate I have no clue how long I'm going to have to just hang out and wait, I really need to know what to watch for, what kind of things should send me running straight to ER.
I went to class on Tuesday, and was pretty miserable. It's very hard to concentrate when you're in pain and/or on pain meds. I want to not go today, especally since spring break is next week, but I can't stay home today. We have a test. I've tried to study, but I'm not sure how well I'm going to do. I'm trying not to worry about it too much. I have enough to worry about, not that this ever stopped me before.
The only good news I have right now is that the childrens' hospital overbooked their volunteers, and so my group didn't get to go last Saturday, which means I didn't miss our going. It's probably the only good thing that's happened lately, now that I think of it.
I'm not looking forward to the rest of today at all. I'd love to go back to bed. *sigh*
