Hear the crickets? OT

Which reminds me, sweet pea. Is there a health update from you on here someplace?

I love it when you call me sweet pea :-)

I called the Dr.'s office today. Didn't have the energy to try to get past Hilda, the receptionist (I have no idea if that is her name or not, but she struck me as a Hilda today). She scolded me for not going to the emergency room with my symptoms. I said I was sorry, so when should I come in. She said how about December 3rd. LOL! So I figured in the Grand Scheme Of Things, that it must not be too urgent.

I did, however, call my insurance company today to find out where I *should* go in an emergency, should the need arise. I have lots of options and, at least until the end of the year, any urgent or emergency treatment would have a very reasonable co-pay.

I made a list of the ok places I should go and put it on the fridge, just in case I'm in no shape to say where I need to go... Again, just in case the need should arise.

I'm exhausted. Sledgehammer to the solar plexus tired. I hate it. And now I have a sore throat and horrid lungs on top of it. It can only get better... Thanks for asking!

vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from "Tink" :

Sweet pea -- I want you to consider this. Just because she couldn't get you in until December 3 doesn't mean you should wait to get treated until then. That is not what she was saying. All she did was look for the first hole in the schedule.

When and how you get this treated is up to you. It is in your hands. I am feeling that you don't want to do anything about it, but if that feeling changes, then go and don't wait another second. This has the potential to be one of those things that is very treatable before it happens, and a whole different story afterwards. Or it is nothing -- either way, it is better to know now.

this is not acceptable - especially with you describing your current condition the way you do... If you have someplace like an "urgent" care with the "reasonable copay" -- I want you to go now... NOW DAMMIT Stupid HILDA is not a doctor -- you need a DOCTOR NOW not 10 days from now. do NOT WAIT through Thanksgiving -- go NOW do Becki and I have to drive up there and drag you out by your heels?????

If you are still having pains in your chest as described before, I'd have to agree it needs looking into. And if you choose to wait, PLEASE do not eat a lot of food, especially turkey, on T. day. That can further complicate heart issues, and turkey, being dry, can make your throat/esophagus feel chokey. Sarajane
