I’m Not This Patient August 22, 2005
I should be in an exam room with my legs up in stirrups right now. Obviously I’m not. My phone rang at 7:00 this morning. It was the RE’s office here calling to reschedule my ultrasound for tomorrow. Fuckers. Don’t they know that will cause me another day of sitting here petrified? Don’t they know that will cause me another night of no sleep?
Life in our new home town is very laid back and things move at a pretty slow pace. I get the feeling it shouldn’t be a big deal for me to wait another day. Are they crazy? I don’t know if I’m a big city girl, but I definitely move at a big city pace. I don’t do well with waiting, and I sure as hell am not laid back.
It’s so weird to live like that. I guess some people like it, but it drives me crazy. I mean, the post office isn’t even open on Saturday here. What’s up with that? When people say work starts at 9:00, they really mean 9ish. I guess that’s ok, but it would throw me off. This being patient stuff doesn’t work for me.
My first instinct upon hanging up was to call my RE’s office in Houston to try to go back to the original schedule of doing my ultrasounds there. That’s not going to happen for a couple of reasons, though. First of all, driving eight hours by myself just isn’t a good idea. I’d probably fall asleep behind the wheel. Secondly, I need my husband to be able to come with me. I need him to be able to hold me up when I feel wobbly. Plus, he deserves to be there. He’s gone through so much, too, and he definitely deserves to be sitting next to me.
So, I’ll just be sitting here attempting to cool my jets until tomorrow morning. What a long day it’s going to be.

Argh is right!! Hope the day speeds by and you get wonderfully reassuring news tomorrow.
Lame, lame, lame (the RE’s office). I hope you find something to take your mind off the waiting. All best to you and your husband tomorrow!
Ack! I am so angry at your RE’s office! Don’t they know what they’re doing to us? (Um, I mean, you?!)
Best of luck getting through today, sweetie.
Ugh - I’ll call them - don’t they know that people are anxiously awaiting your u/s?
Damn it!! Why today?!? Did you explain to them that you had some spotting yesterday and it would make you feel better to be seen today.
In any case, my thoughts are with you.
I’m so pissed off! That is ridiculous that you have to wait until tomorrow…just more time for the anxiety to build. Ugh.
Ahh! And here I was rushing to check in and see how everything went. This is very frustrating!
ugh!! It only takes a few minutes for this scan, how can they not have time. Don’t they know your fans are waiting for the good news!!! ARGHHHHH!!
Grr! Not fair. I’m not that patient either.
Jesus! I am sorry you have to wait, that would not sit well with me either. I am a big city person and have been my whole life and I do not know the meaning of the word “patience.”
Hang in there - at least today is half over!!!
Fuckers indeed.
Gah! That sucks! I’d be a total wreck. Sigh… until tomorrow. Do you have any video games? I find hours, whole days can disappear in front of a video game. Or how about a movie or 6? I’m a big fan of movies by myself in the daytime.
The bastards! Do they not know that this is hard enough without their scheduling issues.
Sorry, I’m grumpy today…very hot…and I was hoping for news, good news… ::sigh:: Okay, I’ll check back. Best of luck.
