Finally The RE Calls

After I called and left a message with the office staff that I had spent Sunday night in the hospital and had been told there was a 7 cm mass on the left side. Finally the doctor called. He wanted me to know that cysts were a common side effect of IVF and was hoping that I would avoid unnecessary surgeries. Whatever. He said that whenever I came back to Fresno I should set up an appointment with him. He acted of course like I was clueless as was my doctor here about IVF leading to cysts. I'm not, I knew that was a possibility. Nothing was said about the fact that I had mentioned cramping on the left side at least 3 weeks ago. Nothing was said about anything else. And I'm tired of it, and him. I just don't want to deal with him. Yes I feel I have gotten very poor care. I have been dismissed and had my concerns mostly ignored. That said, what he has done while less than great customer service is likely within the "Standard Of Care" which is what he has to follow. I had been warned to go to the ER if I had increased cramping/pain, fever etc. I had been warned prior to the procedure that there were potential complications. The fact that I am unhappy with my care isn't likely to change how he does business. I have to admit that even though I should voice my concerns (and still may in written form) and try to help others, I'm tired of dealing with this. I'm tired of fighting it. I am tired of dealing with this office. They owe me 285.00 as near as I can tell although they still have never sent me a copy of my financials for this year and I want that back and I'm done. I will still write a letter about how I felt I was treated but the idea of driving 5 hours back to Fresno to have this doctor tell me how he did everything he was supposed to is no longer appealing. It also will not change anything that has happened so far.
I'm feeling a bit better today but still having some discomfort. I slept a lot in the last 24 hours which was good. I'm off work until next week which while good for me physically, not so good for my pocketbook. That with a weekend trip coming up. I've already paid for the flight so I may as well go. I just may not have any spending money when I'm there and I may be hitching a ride to the hotel. Yes I'm being overly dramatic. I had wanted to board my cats while I was gone, we'll have to see how things look after Friday's paycheck. Thats the down side of being a traveler. When I'm off work I don't get paid. I have no idea how this affects my standing with the hospital but oh well. There really is no way I could have worked the last couple of days.
One thing I did forget in all the excitement. Yesterday was my girlies birthday. They are three years old and while sometimes they act like responsible adults, sometimes they still act like goofy kittens.

This is Sara worshiping the heater. You'd think it was cold in the house.

This one is Luna who decided that the warmest spot in the house was to crawl in my jeans that were laying on my bed.
