My Last Few Days

Tweet

As you probably know from my past posts, I dislocated my shoulder on the 6th. I am having some pain especially in the evening when I am trying to find a comfortable position to sleep. Not able to get in to see a specialist until the 19th. I held off a little because I wanted to be sure of transportation before making an appointment. I called the specialist a few days ago using the number I was given on the paperwork from the ER and just got a number that rang and rang. I got online Friday and found another number. I think that the numbers that are in the ER's system are all outdated because the number they had for my medical doctor was outdated too. Made an appointment for the 19th. Thursday I decided I would call my medical doctor to see if I could get some pain meds until I can get in to see the specialist. Friday morning at about 9:45a. I called in to my medical doctor's office to see about this. The receptionist took my info and would have someone call me back. At 2:30p. I decided it was time for me to go to the bathroom again. It is a long and emotional procedure because I have to climb up off of the floor. My injury means I have one less arm to use to push my body upward. It scares me and so I don't get up very often. Sure enough the doctor's office called while I was in there. My daughter and grandson weren't around to answer the phone. So, when I had listened to the message from the nurse I immediately called her back. No answer, get their automated service. I leave a message. A few minutes later I called them again and got the front desk. The nurse who had left me the message had just gone home. They could leave another message. I never heard back from anyone. Frustrated? Yes! I am just going to wait until I see the specialist now. Orthopedic surgeon.
