Tues, Sept 1 - Well, once again family & hubby involved to be sure that I get the records together for the doctor's visit on Wed (tomorrow). I've been on the phone twice a day with the medical records department where I had my urgent care visit. Even though the doctor may order other tests, I still want him to have the report from my CT scan. It never ceases to amaze me how much you have to be your own advocate in the healthcare system. For example, I've been calling medical records for the past 2 days. Upon my inquiry as to the status of my CT report, I'll get a response of "it takes 3 days minimum for it to post." (Even then I can't be guaranteed that I will be able to get a copy in that short order). I called again this afternoon, explained my situation, and the keys to the kingdom opened the door....the clerk said she would call the transcription department and try to speed up the process. I am hoping to have that report in hand by tomorrow's appt.
As for today - a few concerned friends called to make sure I was okay because they did not hear from me for a few days. It was great to talk with them. Also I received a thoughtful care package - thanks cousin C & Fam! Hubby, Caring friends and family is what keeps things going...
I'll update tomorrow...
