Breaking through the Fibrofog…

Well, the results are in finally!!! all of the blood work came back normal!! so I wont have to get the 3 hour glucose test until around 28 weeks unless something comes up before then. So more than likely the way I’m feeling is from the psuedo tumor, so I’ll call the neuro when I get home and make an appt. Still going to find a new ob when I get home, after my first ob appt and u/s though, so I wont have wait to get in for that, I’ll just find a new dr for my next appt that way I have time to look but can find out how the baby is doing soon. Thanks for the comments gals!!!

did I mention that the morning sickness is finding its way to ruin my life!! it’s not nearly as bad as my first pregnancy, but for some reason I havent been able to stomach dinner lately. I end up finally eating something around 9 or 10 pm because by then I am starving but from 4-8 or so my stomach is always in knots. Last night we went out for pizza, and they ordered a pizza w/ the works or something and the sight of it made me feel so much worse. Not to mention the ride there made me oh soo nauseas, forgot about all of these country roads! so when we arrived I wasnt sure I’d be able to eat then the sight and smell of that pizza was it for me, so needless to say I didnt eat. I ended up fixing myself some pasta around 9:30. I figure I should at least eat when I am hungry, not eating cant be good for either me or the baby, but then I got sick most of the night. I havent figured out what I can eat and feel fine, it’s especailly hard when nothing even sounds good let alone looks good. I’ve been wanting some chinese food for days so for lunch we are going out to a buffet that we love here. We are figuring if I wont be up for dinner Dean can go to the Indian restaurant and get something he likes, we’re going to get a chance to eat dinner alone this evening!! and for the next two days we’ll have meals w/ adults only!!! I am sooo looking forward to this next couple of days. we even have a hotel reserved for tomorrow night. the conference is about 30 minutes from the in laws but I think it would be harder on caleb to see us briefly then leave as opposed to us just not being around til the conference is over. but it’s close enough if he needs us one of us will come home. I figure this is probably the last chance we’ll get for a hotel get away w/ sitters lined up, and it will give Caleb some time w/ his family he doesnt get to always see. well gotta run and enjoy a yummy lunch, if my belly cooperates!!!

I am sooo finding a new ob drs office when we get home. I had blood work drawn friday, a week ago tomorrow. I called yesterday since the lab told me the results would be done monday tuesday at the latest. Called at 9:30 am left a message and was told someone would call back. At 3:30 I called back since no one had called, talked directly to the person who was supposed to call me and she said I’ll call you back shortly w/ the results. Five o’clock came and went and no call. Called again this morning, just a few minutes ago and complained again, told them I am in Ohio have to keep using my cell phone to call and they always put you on hold for a long time, and told them it’s been almost a week, my pregnancy is high risk and no one seems to care. the lady spoke w/ the same person I spoke w/ yesterday at 3:30 and she told her she never got my message. yeah ok sure. So she told me someone will call back, I asked for the office manager but she was on another line, I told her if I dont hear from them I am calling her back. I am calling her back regardless because this is the last straw. this office just doesnt seem to care about anything. If the results werent ready they could call and say that. if it’s about needing a dr to authorize telling the results, as I know has to happen if the results arent normal since i have worked in a drs office before, then tell me , hey we are waiting for the dr to look at the results. but do something. Dont leave patients hanging. I am going to this dr because I heard some very good things about them, apparently I expect more than the normal patient, but then again, I am not the normal patient. they are going to get an earful if those results are not normal because thats crazy, if the test results are ok then theres no reason they shouldnt have called and said so that would be easy. but if something is wrong and they prolonged treatment you just wait…..not that I want something to be wrong, but the way I feel is not good so we’ll see. Thats just my long drawn out whine for the day….I think after my first appt next week I’ll be seeking a more thorough high risk ob, I am sick of dealing w/ drs who just dont think high blood pressure and ptc are risks to me or the baby. I no doubt will have to see my neurologist next week too, the headaches are growing as are the spots in my eyes. I hate to do it but I know not going or at least calling him isnt good for me or the baby.

other than that, I’m having a relaxing week so far in Ohio. Our conference we are attending this weekend starts tonight and we’ll be leaving caleb overnight for two nights which is a first for us. I’m praying he does ok and that the puppy does ok too while we are gone. I am looking forward to the conference so much. I just hope I can endure the long sessions and start feeling better. I promise I’ll post more after I talk to the drs office again, I so want to stop worrying about these results but having to fight w/ the drs office to get them just adds more stress to the whole thing. I dont think I’d be nearly as upset if I knew the call wouldnt be long distance or cost me so many cell phone minutes, which I know is not the drs office fault but they can at least do their best to return patients messages w/in the same day! Am I expecting too much from them?? tell me honestly….
