MRI Results Came This Morning...

One of the nurses from my GP's office called this morning and told me I needed to call the neurologist's office and ask that doctor to review the results online and ask if they could move me up in the queue for treatment. Apparently, some of the ventricles are enlarged but the doctor also found other problems that require more timely intervention. (The nurse didn't tell me what the other problems are although she did say they couldn't see any brain-bleeds anywhere.)
I am starting to worry now. I hate it when they don't give us all the information and make us ask Doctor Google since Google always gives us worst case scenarios. 
When I called the neurologist's office, I got a voicemail that said the box for the doctor was full so I had to call back this afternoon to leave my message. The outgoing message says they'll call back today as long as the message has a timestamp before 2 pm. I called and left my message at 1 pm, so just waiting for a callback.
Now, you're all caught up with everything I know. Thanks for listening.

Nope. That's what the outgoing message said.
I'm still waiting for a callback from them. It's almost 4 pm here.

@TheHorse I agree.... They never called me back today. Like they're hoping I'll forget about my problems if they don't call back.

@DaddyEvil Heh. I am still waiting for a callback from my knee doctor. It's been several days. Sometimes I think they just want us old folks to...move on...

@daddyevil All that hanging about not knowing must be the worst. I hope things move on for you quickly in the right direction.

Thank you. I'm sure there are other people who need the doctor just as much as I do.

The American health system is hard at work it sounds. I just want to say, good luck.

I'm sure other people are worse off than I am. I can wait if necessary. Thank you.

@wolfgirl569 Thanks. Pretty said to wait patiently. I'm sure she's right. After all, they must have patients who need the doctor more than I do.

@DaddyEvil Hopefully first thing tomorrow then. If not keep calling them. Like you said, it's scarier not knowing.

They didn't call back. Pretty says to give them time since they probably have patients worse off than me.

@Marilynda1225 True. With medical professionals, they set their own hours and probably decided a really long weekend was just what they need.

@DaddyEvil I hope they call soon but we're heading into the Easter weekend so maybe they are working shorter hours.

I was close to that this morning but have calmed down now. Freaking out doesn't help the situation.

Thank you. I kept my phone beside me while I waited all day. No call and it's after time doctors would have gone home now. Hopefully, somebody will call tomorrow.

Thank you. Pretty told me things must not be as serious as the nurse and my GP thought they were if the neurologist didn't call me straight back this afternoon. I hope she's right.

Oh how frustrating and anxiety inducing to have to wait to be told the proper results. Hang in there.
