Well, the nurse called back at 1pm and said the doctor said he was sorry and would be calling us today. Nothing yet. But, she did say he had passed Jim's records around to several urologist and there is one particular infectious disease doctor he wants Jim to see but he isn't calling him back. I laughed and said "So he does know how we feel!" lol

Anyway, as suspected he hasn't called back. We requested for him to pass Jim's case to another doctor in the office earlier. If he doesn't want to lose us as a patient then why isn't he calling dagnabbit!? I'll give him some more time since this is usual evening rounds time.

hey all ... congrats on the weightloss Barb!!

sorry about the no-call-back-doc-zone, Sandy!!

Renee - I agree with Kay about the name change - new start .. like me!!

UPDATE::

getting down to the big, oxy-stuff ... and am wiped from driving and packing ... and I talked with the manager today ... she said that the lady who's room I was going to get ... is making a comeback! BUT, another guy is getting out July 1st ... so it will only take them about 3 days to give the room(s) a good overhaul ... and I may be able to move in by next weekend ..

right now - everything is in storage ... so, I'm homeless ... after tonight - I won't be online or available to go online for awhile ... BUT, I bought my first cell phone today - tracfone ... and get this ... the last 4 digits -4653 ... which spells GOLD .. LOL

will check in periodically ... not sure where I'll be or when I'll be back ... just don't forget about me!!

Sandy,

I hope you get some news soon. I think it's a good sign the doctor passed Jim's records, at least he is trying to find the best doctor for Jim's sake.

Waiting for call backs from doctor's is the pits!!

what kind and beautiful words kay about renee, and true. A few other things i also saw, dont be manipulated, and from what i went through, comes a time, KIDS AND YOURSELF HAVE TO COME FIRST, i pray your marriage can work, but unfortunetly not everyone who gets married has the steadfast determination and dedication, and when what is begining to appear to me at least , it appears you are the only one with those attributes. LOve is a two way street it flows both ways and when it becomes a one way street, i worry about that type of relationship I have to ask renee, An email? not even a call? sorry.please forgive me if it is not my place to say but you impress me as an intellgent caring loving parent and person, you can do better you deserve better, I am sorry if that was out of place. pretty sure i am not the only one on here who feels that way, no not gossip just my gut feeling

hello barb congrats sandy sorry your doc is being a PITA, tk hope dd takes better care of herself, in the desert

sorry meant that in a good way hope she is ok seriously kind of scary what dehydration can do to you, one time when on my own i was really sick stomach virus and was on my own for 5 days sick as heck almost died, i had no idea what dehydration was, found out quick, just sat here thinking about that, my friend dave broke into my apt and saved my lifeand my other friend lisa told him to do so, trip down wayback lane, tell those kids downs there to be careful TK

Renee - Nae Nae is perfect. What a great way to start out your new and improved self. Keep strong and do what you feel is the best for you. It is tough but you can and will get through this.

Barb - You're funny. Doing the "blue" comments was the only way I could come up with to help him out. I had too many questions, comments, and suggestions. Congrats on losing the weight and in 1 week to boot. That's great!

Sandy - You crack me up. I never would have thought to make the comment on the dr knowing how you feel when a dr doesn't call back. It still is irritating as heck that they haven't called back. Did you call the infectious disease doctor and make an appointment any way?

Vonn - Thanks for checking in and of course we won't forget you. How could we? I hope all goes smoothly with the rest of your move. Saying prayers for you.

Becky - Hi there. I hope all goes well tomorrow. I will keep you in my prayers and be thinking of you.

Frank - LOL. I read "desert" as dessert and thought you were joking around about DD16's Valium induced statement. (Stressed spelled backwards is desserts). She's doing much better this evening and hopefully will start coming around by tomorrow. She drank a lot more today and I am so, so relieved.

Have a great night everyone.

Frank if you don't quit apologizing for telling me how you feel I'm gonna have to come to Illinois swing by grab Jim and Sandy and come kick your butt!

Which I might add Jim very vocally threatened to come to Arkansas and kick mine along with Sandy if I even thought about taking him back this time.

The answer is nope...I tried, I did all I could, and now I'm done, time to move on just wish there were more job prospects here and I had a few of you closer!

You go girl. You are a strong woman and are doing whats best for your
family. knowing that is half the battle You are gonna do great. I
do wish some of us were closer to you to help.

Sending and prayers for your family.

oh.......and I like Nae Nae too.

Hey all! Thanks for the good wishes on the doctor. He called at 9:20pm, lol I had this vision of him sitting and relaxing, watching tv and then all of a sudden "Crap! I forgot to call the C$@#$%%'s!" lmao

Anyway, he said we do not need to "see" the infectious disease doctor. He is going to consult with them over the phone or in person to get their take on what to do. He gave us his entire schedule and apologized several times for not calling us back. He said he was waiting for infectious disease to call him and it's been a week. He has a specific doctor he wants to consult with. He's going to try to call her again today and get back to us. We told him that if he couldn't call, to please have his nurse at least call. That is the most frustrating, not knowing what is going on. Jim told him he doesn't mean to be so demanding but he went through this with the VA and needs an aggressive doctor. The doctor told him he wasn't demanding at all and once again, apologized.

So looks like we'll stay with him and see how things go. He said he has consulted with all of the urologist in his office as well as others outside his office. They all agree that Jim's case needs aggression and attack. One of the ideas he mentioned were flushing the bladder with an antibiotic. This is where the infectious disease doctor comes in. He said based on Jim's records everything is working well so surgery is not in the picture.

That's it, stay tuned for the next episode of "As Jim's Bladder Turns"

Now, on to Renee. Jim did get all over her last night. It was kind of hard since her phone kept going out on us mid sentence. lol We did threaten to come down there if needed if she even thought about taking that so called military man back. I honestly think he has multiple personalities. The night before he sent the Dear John letter he was planning buying a house with her. It's all too Sybil to me. He needs more than spiritual advice, he needs a mental eval.

Everyone have a great day and stay cool and dry! It's raining here today and will be raining for a few days. I have some laundry to finish up and some checkbook stuff to do.

LOL Maybe thats the secret make it so Jim's bladder turns! The constant movement won't let anything sit around and grow!

I already told Sandy...I have a job interview Monday...working with developmentally disabled 1-5 year olds mostly just fixing booboos and doing paperwork for the state.
