I called a cab and set out on my journey...
I picked up the release at pdoc's office first.
Then I went to my PCP's office to drop off the release to him, but he's out of the office until MONDAY. In an exchange in which I can only describe myself as being whiny while still being pushy, the secretary finally said she'd ask one of the covering physicians if they'd sign it.... I can only imagine some doctor who doesn't know me pulling my chart and seeing what a physical and mental train wreck I am and deciding not to take the risk... The office staff knows me well and always gets me what I need quickly, but that's when my PCP is there. I put my odds at 50/50.
Anyway, I told her I needed it back by Wednesday at the latest (so I can overnight it) and asked that someone please call me back as soon as possible.
At least I got my flu shot while I was there.
When I got home, I took a look at the form pdoc filled out. She signed off on all the medical and MH conditions. It could very well stand on it's own, but I don't know if these people are going to require a MD signature because of the MS or not. Ideally, I won't have to deal with this issue.
When my husband got home I had him take me to the post office and I sent the pdoc release form out priority mail. They should have it by Wednesday, and I should have my answer about the other release by then as well. I'd imagine the organization putting on the class will contact me with any issues or questions they have when they receive pdoc's release and I should be prepared to answer them then.
If it turns out I need an MD signature, and the covering physician won't sign, I will have to see if I can postpone the class until the next one they're holding Nov.13th (something I do not want to do).
I like having a lot more time and control over things than I have right now. Why can't I just bend people to my will? lol.
When my husband came home from work, he said his back doesn't feel bad. I hope that remains the case, but he may be feeling it tomorrow.
