"the visit is covered by medicare, but that's another 200$ for your next ultrasound of the breast tissue..."
200$ for the follow up ultrasound from last year's 2nd biggest scare (first, the precancerous cells on the cervix, lump in breast tissue, a close 2nd, but not by much)
waited 3 hours for my GP today. Was in tears when I saw her.
The pain, unbearable.
Spoke with the nurse there, told her my symptoms. She was from Syria and trained to be a doctor (women's health) but decided to become a nurse instead.
We both theorized what this could be. We both ran down the symptoms. We were both perplexed.
"and all the ultrasounds and MRI and CT scans found nothing?"
I was used to saying this.
"no no no - nothing at all"
"But you are in so much pain. Your blood pressure is up. It's obvious you are suffering a great deal."
"heavy narcotics help, but only so much..."
"I hope they find out what this is."
me too...
Breast doc next week.
G-scope in two mondays, and then surgery two days after that.
Must remember to take the paper that says I'm "a bleeder". Don't want a repeat of the last surgery where i needed 4 pints of blood to stabilize me.
I should bank my blood. Get some cash to pay my medical bills.
It would be so very fucken nice to be healthy, and to have money to pay for all this care...
