Hello to all. It's Friday before surgery and Things are coming in-line. The last week has been one fight after the other with Dr. Snow's office.Starting to wonder if this is the same Dr. Snow that did such a good job with 3 of my family members.
Since 7/28/03, I have been having test every other day, must have talked to Doctors office everyday. They have known I was anemic since March 03, and they have waited till last minute to worry about it. probably would not have worried at all, but I asked if it was going to stop the surgery? Since then I have had 2 of each test done, and some test that the doctors are saying they did not order. All was still up in air, 3 days ago. Dr. coyle stated that if I wanted a different dortor he would help me get Fast track in Fl, with a doctor his office uses, due to Dr. Snows nurses giving them problems also. They even called my work and said they did not have my chart, wanted to know which Doctor I had been seen by. -----Okay, would this make you think that no one has been looking at your chart, because they don't have it? 2 hours later called and said it was in Dr. Ringgold office, whom I have never seen.-------Okay, so, my last name is Common, I'll let them have that one. Then yesturday , for the second time, Nurse calls me at home and says that there is two test I have not taken, that I have to have before surgery, this test were taken on 07/06/03, at the beginners class that all of their patients must take. ------know I want to apoligize before hand, Ladies and gentleman, I blew,I let her know just how disguised I was with this whole thing and their office, she told me that " It sounds like a break in the communication," I told her she was right that its not my Job to run all over their office and my regular Doctors office for my records that had been there for 3 months. ------- keep in mind I was home from work with a tension headache the size of a HOUSE. She just caught me right,and I let them have it----Later after she had found the information that I did complete the class, she called back at 4:30 pm and I still was very ill, with headache , she told me that there is alway tension with any surgery and she understood was sorry that I had been having such a problem with the test and pre-op. "Try to relax and breath Miss. williams its just Tuesday and I'm sure you will do fine"....... The bad thing is , after the blow up, they were so helpful and made sure all was present and accounted for.---I
dislike having to be a rude person.
The surgery is set for 9:25am Tuesday- August 19,2003. I pray they remember what they are doing. (LOL)... May have to write message on stomach for them. This is want a co-worker told me to do..!!
I do have faith in my Doctor but there is 4 nurses in his office, and they do not communicate with each other very well, this could also be because he has so many patients.
I have lots of last minute things to do, I will try to keep you updated about the surgery.
Again, I would like to thank my Angel Tonya Whittenton, how is also my cousin, she his been a true Angel, called alots to check on me. She has been my shoulder to lean on, and let me tell you, I have needed it, Tried the chat one night and did not get help, called Tonya and she was Johnny on the spot-----. So this is to her, May god bless you Angel, and I know we are blessed with other Angels out there, but she and I have grown closer since our loss of her sister last year.She needs BIG HUGZ. Love you, T.j. and thanks again, May all you hopes and dreams be yours.!!!
I will be in the hospital 3-4 days and if anyone would like to call and talk to me that is fine, I would like your company, co-workers have said they would probably come and see me also. It's a long ride, 1.5 hours only for me. I will keep all of you in my heart and for those of you that are coming up on your date also, I hope to see you there. Thanks again to all that have given support, even those that did not have time but thought about it. May God Bless us all, don't worry I feel like God will be guiding Dr. Snows' hands Tuesday, Like I have said before "if its meant to be, then it will be so. ....... All prayers are a gift, so keep them comming, look forward to talking to you again.
