Mental Breakdown

Crying ... Over Myself

Can't get my Doctor's office. Tried all day Tuesday only to get shuffled around, Shriley's (Dr. I's nurse) voicemail was full, put on hold for 20 minutes by the appointments person (she can't add to a full appointment list without Shirley's approval), and was told they were having problems with the phones. I even got transfer once to Dr. I's administrative office who said they couldn't help since they weren't connected with the medical office. I gave up and decided to try again the next day.

Today I called and left a message with Shirley. At least her voicemail box was working today. She left a message around 3:30 or 4 pm that she called in a 2 week supply of Avelox to the pharmacy number I left. I went to the Duane Reade but they had nothing on record. I called their number, nothing on record. I called the only other pharmacy, Walgreen's, but no record there. So I called the doctor's office but by this time it was three minutes past 5pm so the office had closed. I left an emergency message with the service and a female doctor called back. She reviewed my case and called in the Avelox. I picked it up that evening. Unfortunately it didn't stay down.

I'd been going through chills and sweating spells with fever, very painful joint pain, just feeling very, very uncomfortable. Add to that having to change pjs when I would wake up soaked, having to change sides of the bed, I was not a happy sickie. I just broke down sobbing at only point, hearing myself say, "It's going to be o.k." over and over, stroking my head in some sort of comforting move. Yep, I just turned into on big baby, but somehow I new it would be ok, I just neede to hear myself say it.
