Feeling Hopeless

Just got off the phone with the message center for my doctors office. I am feeling like I am never going to have a date and this will go on forever. When I talked to the doctor on Monday Night he was all gung ho about getting me scheduled asap, just had to see which hospital he could get me into the fastest. I called late Tuesday and the nurse I talked to was rude, never asking my name or medical record number to see if any note had been made in my chart as to this. So now two more days have passed and I call to talk to someone and Dr left the office for the day at 11am this morning and is gone till the 27th of June. I left a message for the nurse to call me and to see if he was able to schedule. I have so much to do once the date has been set, Arrangements have to be made for my 3 yr old and my husband has to request his vacation time and all the other pre-op things that have to be done. I am feeling hopeless and so depressed that this is dragging on and on. Always something else, another delay, I am just so tired of the uncertainty of all this. Some months bleeding like there is no tomorrow, flooding if I move an inch and then so far this month nothing I'm 5 days past due, all the pain and emotions that go with it just no bleeding( not since the endometrial biopsy). I dont know what to expect, I could all of a sudden flood out of nowhere. I am tired all the time and just want to be "normal" and feel good again. Goodness here I go with the tears, what is wrong with me? I know I have a good doctor but this waiting is killing me, does that sound stupid? I just want to be able to enjoy my life again. Grumble groan, the doctors office just called, he left her a note that said he is out of town till next friday, that he will let her know what date then. I'll be a wreck by then. I am sorry, I guess, hormones and lack of sleep are getting the best of me.
Thanks for being here for me to vent to.

The waiting is the worst part, and I'm sorry you have to go through this. My doctor's office didn't call to schedule my hyst for more than a week, and when I finally called them they were all surprised...my paperwork had gotten lost in the shuffle. Even then it took a few more days to get it straightened out. Having a hyst was such a hard decision to make, that once I made it, I wanted to get it done and over with immediately. I hate waiting.

Do you have to talk with your doc about this? The reason I'm asking is that at my doc's office, all of the scheduling was handled by the surgical coordinator, not the doc. She scheduled everything - the doctors, the hospital, the pre-op - and handled all the insurance stuff too. You might ask if there is someone like that where you go.

Best of luck to you, and hang in there!

Hi Stacy

I could feel your frustration just reading about what is going on. I have trouble sometimes getting a hold of my doctors too. I wish I could make your doc a little more responsive, but at least you will know by next friday. I know....little comfort right now.

Just wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers! Please let us know when you find out the date.

Sending you a great big !!!!!

I am still feeling a bit hopeless but at least the tears have stopped. I had to go and lay down as I developed one of those famous migraines. This month I have all the symptoms and none of the bleeding, go figure. 5 days over due for Aunt Flos monthly Visit. Maybe since the last one was go long and heavy she decided to give me a little breather, but then again when it comes to aunt flo there is no such thing and she is imfamous for surprises, none of them good. Anyway thanks for being here for us LIW to be able vent and stay sane in the much dreaded waiting period.

The waiting is sooo hard anyway, now waiting for the date too is also hard.

Vent away all you need.

Best wishes!
