My doctor's appointment today

AngieDoogles · 07-12-2007, 07:49 PM

As you know, my follow-up appointment was today. I didn't go. I got scared and frustrated because they didn't do anything but cause me to feel bad when I went to the ER a few weeks ago. There was no diagnosis, I still had the pain when I left, and I was super nauseous for over a week afterwards...and there was over $5,000 in medical bills for all of that trouble. I just didn't want to go through all of that again...so I backed out. How awful is that? My mom is really upset with me and so is Brendon, but I just didn't feel up to it...

Should I try to reschedule or just leave it alone and hope everything is alright?

Angie, here comes the mother in me...are you ready?

You need to get yourself back to the Dr. and get the follow up done asap. While there, it wouldn't hurt to schedule a complete physcial with blood workup.

We can have bettter control of our health if we do the right things. Once things start going downhill, it's harder to control.

Now get going!!

love ya!!!

Ang, here comes another mother!

Get yourself right to that doctor, young lady. We all love you, Brendon loves you, your family loves you. So....you don't have the right to not take care of your health!
You have too many people who need you.

Angie, you need to reschedule your appointment. You were in a lot of pain and your family wants to know what was wrong with you. You really need to find out that this isn't something more serious. Get on the phone, girl, and make that appointment!!!

Aw, girl I know you're scared but you really should reschedule! Look at all the support you have from all the wonderful ladies on here....we all - including me of course - care so much about you!

I thought you guys would say that, but it's just...after reading everything I did on the internet, it seems like they'll never really be able to tell what exactly is causing the pain. Since it isn't a mass and I haven't had the pain in a few days, I don't see that going to the doctor would be beneficial. It would only cost us more money and be more pain and trouble for me. If it were something serious, wouldn't they have found it when I spent 8 hours at the ER?

It took two weeks to get the first appointment, so I wouldn't be able to get another until after our trip to Mexico which would be the first week of August, so I guess I have a while to decide.

Thanks for you input! I appreciate your concern and I will think about what you've said.
