Today is a new day. It is a Friday. I am hoping for good news today. Or some kind of news. But hoping for good news. I went for an ultrasound last Monday... Because I've been having some internal malfunctions. One doctor said it was a bladder infection, but it is quite swollen. Another doctor said it could be a hernia. I'm thinking it is a bladder infection. But I gotta find out for sure and gotta see what they tell me.
Also, I'm on anti-biotics for my acne issues. It seems to be starting to clear up. I have to get a refill. I have another appointment next month at the acne clinic. I have to take four pills a day.
I've been having problems sleeping. That happens when you have a night shift in the middle of the week. It was a lot of work last shift. There was an event at the college we had to clean the theater. My co-worker kind of bosses me around quite a lot so I like to work by myself as much as I can. Only it was crazy because we were running out of time to finish up and still had some work left to do. I'm going to try to do better next time. Hopefully next week we can get the bulk of the work out of the way first before anything else. Or maybe even split up and get different parts done at the same time. The only problem is that he's not allowed to sign the keys out and I have to unlock all the doors for him. That gets annoying when I'm trying to finish something and I have to stop whatever I'm doing just to let him in somewhere. During the week when I'm not there, a guy works with him to unlock the doors. I was almost late and the guy was there and the supervisor asked me to tell the guy to go to the office. Instead of telling him himself. He knows that I work on Wednesdays so why send him there when I'm supposed to be there? It doesn't make sense. I always call if I'm not coming in to work or even if I am going to be late. I always call. Most of the time I don't need to call though because I am usually there.
Even when I've been this sick with whatever this is. I've still gone to work. I have no excuse not to go because it is only one shift a week. Also, the only reason I have not to go is if I physically cannot due to medical reasons. I've maybe called in sick 3 times in the last 6 months and been late once. I called in because of the pain and once because I was going to get an x ray on my arm (that they refused to give me at the hospital). They wouldn't give me an x ray because they said I could still move my elbow. Well I could still move my wrist when I fractured my hand... So their explanation makes no sense to me. I'm really unimpressed with that hospital.
The last time I went... I was hoping to get a cancer screening done. Since I have lumps in my breasts and a history of cancer in my family. I went to the hospital thinking they would have the equipment there to do the tests I need. Instead.... They tell me to take my clothes off from above my waist and put a hospital gown on. So I did. Sitting there half naked only for the doctor to tell me that they don't do that there or whatever. I was pretty upset that they didn't tell me when I got there and told them why I was there that they wouldn't help me. That they made it look like they were going to help me. The doctor was so rude. She even said: "It's not our fault if you have cancer." In front of 6 people waiting to see her. I didn't know what to say or how to react. I was just shocked at how she treated me. I ended up crying most of the way home and for the rest of the day I was so angry. I hadn't been that angry in a really long time.
My Mom is trying to get me into the clinic where she goes. I called the lady I was supposed to call and left a message with my phone number, but she hasn't called me back. That was a week ago. I have to call her again. It's taken almost a month of trying to get in there and I'm still not in there. I need to see a doctor to get a referral to (a different hospital) to get the tests I need. The hospital closest to me is the worst hospital I have ever been to. I'm still pretty angry that the doctor treated me that way. Even if she wanted to say it, did she have to? When two people related to me have died of cancer? I just found out a month ago about my Uncle dying of cancer... All the people waiting knew what I was there for... There goes my privacy. They have signs saying that they don't prescribe narcotics. Can't they have signs saying they don't do cancer screenings? Or whatever? Part of me is so angry that I kind of hopes that she finds lumps in HER breasts. I know it is mean of me to say that. But then I could say that 'It's not MY fault if SHE has cancer.'
