9:30 doc appointment...
Ok I got there at 9:10... I was the only one there. then at 9:15 two people showed up. then we all waited...
then at 9:30, the girl who apparently had the 9:00 got in. then at 9:45, the other girl (who had the 9:15) got to go in.
Then finally at 10:15 I got in.... so not only to I get less then adequate care, I also have to wait forever for it!
I'm finally got in and guess what I gained another 5lbs. -in two weeks... that can't be good!
but guess what? For the first time captain do nothing (Dr. Fait) actually said something about it!
but... still no weight help. This is all that happened:
doc-you gained 5lbs in 2 weeks that's not good.
me- yeah, I don't get it. I mostly eat cereal and subway, and I'm on my feet the whole time I'm at work. I don't know what's up?
doc- do exercise at all? (he said it in a put down kind of tone...this from a guy who's extra large shirt is always bursting at the buttons.)
me- yeah I go disk golfing almost every day. and my daily walks are about a block long minimum.
doc- well golf is stop and go, you need exercise
me- well disk golf isn't that stop and go, its more like hiking with throwing?
it was at this time he must have decided he spent to much energy on this and changed the subject by mentioning that my strep b test is today.
... I tried to ask him about if i should extend my daily walks, or if there is some sort of specific exercise I should be doing, but he had moved on :(
So about the strep b test, I was given a sheet to put over my lap and had to me nudie tude from the waist down. I was excited! I'm finally going to get a few answers! Like am I dilated, effaced? are you going to see a head :P
...but no. sadly no. he did the "test" he had a swab and he barley looked under the sheet. then he was on his way out the door... UMMM excuse me!
I had to put my hand out and kinda loudly said wait!
I got a look like uuuuggg now what.
I told him "hold on I still have questions!"
doc-ok...
me- how big am I? what am I measuring? Am I measuring too big?
doc- this is your second pregnancy so it's normal to be all little bigger.
and off he ran to the door again...
me- wait
doc- what
well I was wondering... because my grandpa just died... well we are having a memorial dinner on the 31st. and I don't want to miss it. Is there anyway that i could be induced early or if it gets close you can stop labor?
his reply- they are waiting 2 weeks to bury him? (as if he were implying I was lying about it)
I was shocked, I mean most people at least say sorry for your lose?
and then as I sat there in disbelief He went out the door.
REALLY?
he didn't even answer one of my questions... what is he an ex politician?
I had more questions? uuuugggggggg!
Today I also had an 11:00 appointment with the state nurse, but she had to reschedule. She had a death in the family :( That stinks! she has been the only one to really help, it's like I go waste my time at the doctor and then meet with her where she actually helps! She is so helpful, i feel bad that bad things happen to good people.
ahhhhhhhh!

As you know I have been trying really hard to find a new doctor. I remembered there was a list of doctors that take my hmo. And the State Nurse office had one. So I went down there. As I said my particular nurse is out for the week, but another nurse helped me out. She couldn't find the list, but she asked what was up, and really helped out alot! She got me some info, and got way further in the 15 minutes we spent together, then I had for the last couple of months! She got info, I never got from receptionists. SO guess what! We have a possibility! unfortunately they don't except my hmo...until June 1st. ...but still It is a ray of hope!!!!
05/22/10 -Saturday
Today is my last day at work. (Friday was suppose to be, but she asked me to work Saturday, and I need the $$ so... joy) But when I got there she wanted a note saying I quit today... not maternity leave. ummm what? she said she would just do a re-hire... yeah I don't think so.
I only had to work 11:00-2:00 but at 1:15 I started to get a horrible cramp. I couldn't even stand up straight. The cramp ended at 2:45. I was concerned.... but at the same time I didn't really want to call my doctor... cause well he sucks. But anyway an hour long cramp can't be good so I tried his pager thing, at 3:00... nothin, so at 3:30 I tried again...then again at 3:35... he called me back after that, I told him what was going on and the he said go to St. Mary's and we will monitor you. I said ok, but then he said you have to go to St. Mary's on the lake, because I'm only 36 weeks...uuummm what? He said before I had to be 35 weeks and then I can deliver at St. Mary's Ozaukee... the one down the street from me. but any way I drove all the way out to Milwaukee...The nurse put on some monitors, and let me tell you at least some good came from this :P I got to see baby's heart rate for a while The HR went between, 130 and 148. Anyway, I don't know why but I started to get a lil dizzy and got a killer headache. I just started to feel loopy. But then the truth came out... Dr. Jerk walks threw the door... The reason I had to drive all the way out there was because he was on call there at the time. Ummm..k. You know I would have went out there, there is no reason to lie! Anyway. He said the cramping feeling was just my hips widening, and he said it like it was something I should have known and was wasting his time... Ok but then why did he tell me to come down here?
So I just sat there and at about 6:00 he was ready to discharge me... yeah thanks for wasting my time...
So as he says the nurse will discharge me when they are done with a delivery, in a very snooty tone. He asked "well do you have any questions?" It sounded as if he were in a debate with someone not a conversation. But I really felt like crap, and had a killer migraine, and felt woozy and loopy. And I just couldn't focus or think of any. So I told him, "not now, I just feel loopy and can't think of anything." And then he said "so you have No questions.." Like he was accusing me of something... So I Said " No, I have lots of questions, I just don't feel very good right now and can't think of any." I was thinking to myself well if the jerk is actually going to listen now... I can ask him on Tuesday...(the next appointment). Then he snapped back "Well write them down, because I don't want another call from a county nurse!" and then left.
...really...
So that's the way your going to be? I was so mad. why does he think he can just treat people like crap? So I got "released" and all. and started to drive home. I called Nana and she said we should go to Rich's Restaurant to relax. And at 7:56 I decided his no good butt is outta here! So I picked up grandma and we went out to eat. What I came up with, is that hopefully I will get the other doctor, so....just keep my legs crossed till the first? But If I were to go early I will just go to St. Mary's and when they ask who my doctor is, I will just ask for the attending. *Sigh* So much unnecessary drama BS!
