Re: Looking for info

O.k. guys, I took your advice and called my surgeon (against my will

I must add). Well, he's away for two weeks. The surgeon who shares

his office wasn't in today he was at one of the hospitals doing

surgery. I have an appointment with him tomorrow. The woman at the

office told me if the pain was very bad to go to the ER at the

hospital where he was and he would see me. The pain was VERY bad. I

went! After sitting there for three hours, two of them watching this

poor man who was in tear and groaning and swearing because he was in

sooooo much pain (you could see his leg was all swollen), I lost it.

First I went to the desk to ask if there was anything that they could

do for that poor man. He shouldn't have to sit there in pain like

that, that's why he came to the hospital. She politely told me there

were no rooms available for him, then called someone else in. I went

back and sat down for about two minutes.... then I went back to the

desk, gave the nurse my " bracelet " and told her, " I was NOT staying

in that F*( & ing assylm any longer. " She just stared at me. I'm so

angry I'm shaking. I would have gladly let that poor man go instead

of me, but obviously no one really cared about helping anyone. I will

be writing to the hospital. In the meantime I'm going to go take some

Vicodin and go to bed. I have less faith in the surgeon now than I

did before.

A very angry Tigger!
