@#$$$@***&&!!!! And so on and so forth!
OK, my doc emailed me yesterday (bless her, for doing it on a Sunday!) with the readings of the xrays the urgent care doc was so dire about. MUCH less serious than the latter made out. There are changes commensurate with the dx of osteoporosis which I could see in the xrays, but my spine is not about to collapse at any moment.
The woman didn't even get xrays of my hips, which is where most of the pain is concentrated, especially the right one. This might be from a disk, so I will have an MRI.
I am going to have hip xray later, to see if there is any damage that can be seen. This is to rule out fracture anywhere. I still can't walk without the walker, and it hurts like hell even so. I also can't sleep because I could not get comfortable. Too much pain.
I am going to ask for the notes from my urgent care visit and might write a complaint because the woman scared the pants off me. I know I am falling apart, that I have had to have shots in both my hands, and that my shoulder is beginning to collapse, but I felt like I was completely deteriorating from one day to the next and would be crippled within weeks!
There is something wrong. I am falling too much. This last fall was serious, and did damage of which we don't know yet. The one before was also serious and necessitated a visit to the ER. But the bloody woman shouldn't be seeing patients in urgent care if she has no idea what tests to ask for and how to interpret them!!!
MC along with the other stuff is more than enough without her adding so much anxiety to it.
How did they indicate swearwords in the old days?
