Some Medical Tests Are Just Un-Cool


Well, today I had to go to my Drs office and have these horrible tests. I will just let you know it is a Urologists and they don't have very nice tests. But I survived. I don't think it is normal for some things to be done, lol. But like I said, I survived. A tad bit not happy about tests and Drs these days, I figure life will go on and I will survive another day.

I have more things going on Friday morning, which in reality is now. It is 12:59 am. Ughhhh, I can't believe I am still on this computer. I shuld be in bed since I have to be up at 7am. Yepppers, 7am. That isn't normal for me. I sleep till 10 or so, lol. But I have to go to the speech therapist to see what they have to say about some kind of damage to my vocal cords. I have a feeling my husband put out a special request to God to make it so I can't talk too much. But little did he know that I can type fast and keep up,lol.

But all in all I am realizing that I am sick of tests and Drs. Although they are all nice and do what is best. But I think I am ready for a real vacation, "Calgon Take Me Away". I think I am going to have to bite the bullet and go see my daughter in North Carolina and my grandson soon. Not saying that is a real vacation. Alot of times it just means more work. But gotta love them :). Her place is a long ways from my Drs. office, so that is a BIG plus in my book. But I think I am going to go to bed and get up way to early and see what the Drs have to say and then come home and go to bed and then after that call Jessica to see what she is doing and if she found a walking partner. Good Night Computer Land...And God Bless

I think Its All A Scam....


I got into a conversation today at my husbands work. It was about Drs and insurance. I just don't understand why it is that one Dr can't take care of everything or atleast most everything. They send you from one doctor to the next and tests after tests. I have a dr for almost every part of my body and I am sure my friend Nancy can attest to this, she has the same problem. Most of these issues is from issues from the Guillian Barre and Myasthenia Gravis.

My Dr List- Names Left Out
1. Primary Physician
2. Nuerologist- One in Vegas and One in Utah
3. Gastrointerologist? Not sure on Spelling- Tears that happend in ICU in July
4. ENT for Swallowing Problems
5. Urologist- Not sure yet why I am seeing him... I guess I will know soon enough
6. Speech Therapy- Swallowing problems treated and then go back to ENT if it doesn't help.
7. Cardiologist- well, thats for the heart
8. Pulmanary Dr- For the Restrictive Lung Disease

Ok, as of right now, I think that is it. But I wonder why one can't treat most of these problems. It would seem like it would be better for the insurance. But not maybe the Drs. Because specialists get three times if not more then that in fees. And they treat only one part of the body. I am sure that MD's had to have gotten training in all parts of the body in order to get his/her degree. I would hope atleast. But I am dumbfounded and I am beginning to think there is more to it then someone not knowing what is going on. But this is my theory and I am sticking to it :) its a good thing I have insurance, or I wouldn't be sent to all these Drs, lol. Hummm maybe that should be the plan. Not only save on co-pays, but save on time and gas. What a concept!

Sometimes I just want to say "JUST SHOOT ME",lol
