The best part of this was this morning, when I called to make the appt. I must have one heck of a reputation at this hospital bc I told the lady I wanted to come in for a second opinion. JUST a second opinion. These people had the nerve to call me back about 20 minutes later to tell me that while the doctor would see me, he was in NO WAY going to prescribe me anything for pain relief. I laughed. Hard. And it really felt good. The nerve of some people. I have been in sooooo much pain for 2 days I would have gone to the emergency room if I thought I would get anyone to actually treat me. But being that I live in a small town where everyone knows eachother, I didn't even bother. I just cried and prayed for relief. And now I'm probably going to get in trouble Friday when I see my regular physician for what he will see, as me trying to seek relief from one of his buddies. Lord give me strength. Because right now I'm running on rage and hate.
