Looking for the end of the Rainbow

faint double rainbow at sunset

Unfortunately, the sky was not a good color to get a great shot of the double rainbow, but here is one photo.

It was a very long day! My doctor's nurse practioner saw me. She said I need to get an ultra sound and see my gyn. And she said that I need to see my orthopod for my back. She says I do have two problems, not just one. My cyst and my back. Two separate sources of pain!

I wondered why I went there in the first place but she insisted it was the best thing to do.

I called my gyn, they cannot see me until the 30th! I told the woman on the phone that I had acute pain and she still insisted that I can be seen on the 30th.

I got ahold of a doctor friend and she told me what a mill my gyn runs. How she is out of town and still gets booked solid and everybody gets to see the nurse practioner. She has told me this before. She told me to call today and tell them, my husband is an attorney, I am have acute pain caused by a ovarian cyst and they are refusing to see me for ten days? Then she told me to go to another ER and have them call her and if she is not on, somebody in her call group should be. Then if nobody shows up, she is in big trouble with the head doctor at hospital, because by law, she has to have a back up doctor for her patients who end up in the ER....I decided I would stay out of that cat fight!

So, I have to schedule the ultra sound, and make an appointment with the orthopod. My friend did say if the cyst doesn't go away this month, that it probably will next month.

I do feel better, I actually got up a few times yesterday in my travels, and didn't think about standing up. I got to the point where I would get up slowly and hunched over and then I would stand erect. So, this could be a sign that I am finally healing.

I went to the hospital and ran around collecting labs and films. I had to pay $15 for my labs. The woman told me that they could fax them for free, but she didn't know how long that would take and I was headed to my doctor's office.

The report said that when I left the ER, I no longer had pain in my abdomen. It also said I only had back pain when I moved! Duh!

So the saga continues. I am stressed about all this medical stuff. Have I mentioned I don't like doctors? Only friend doctors.....

This one has more colors, the way it should be!
