Man this headache. I need to finish the point I was making at the end of my post yesterday just in case my brain breaks under the pressure. Ok I don’t think that’s really what will happen but it occurred to me that I might need to finish my point just in case. Right now the medical records I was referring to yesterday to make my point are almost within arms reach of where I am. I made it to the recliner but the relief from the pain is so great that I am not reaching over there to get the paperwork. I’ll post the point, the gist of what I started posting yesterday just so it can be recorded. Then I will come back later and update with the documentation.
So I went to the neurologist, then I went to Dr. Ellis to follow up on the appointment with the neurologist. We’re still trying to figure out what was causing the visual disturbance and dizziness. I returned again to Dr. Ellis, thinking we are working together to figure it out. I don’t have the benefit of seeing her notes to know she’s gone off in some other direction. I’m following up, going to my next appointment in good faith thinking we are going to figure it out. The medical records indicate that she thought I was there to follow up on my hypertension! I NEVER MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR HYPERTENSION! She had it wrong from my second visit with her ! I never made an appointment with her regarding hypertension. That’s why she stopped looking for a resolution. That explains almost four years of her drilling me about diet and exercise. And me explaining to her over and over my symptoms, dizziness and visual disturbance. SHE WAS NEVER LOOKING FOR ANSWERS FOR WHAT I WAS SEEING HER FOR. And I can forgive a mistake. But I had insurance and I was begging for a diagnosis and she denied me what I paid for. She should have suggested an MRI instead of standing in front of me all frustrated with her prescription pad saying “I’ll write you a prescription for whatever you want”. I thought then ‘how do I know what I need?’ Isn’t it the physician’s place to figure that out? In case you are wondering, I didn’t ask for any prescription that day. All I wanted, all I made appointments for, was a diagnosis. An answer to the symptoms I was describing.
Today I’ll be taking paperwork to disability office if Rusty gets off work early enough. He will be driving me because I can’t.
There is more going on right now than I can include in this post. I will update regarding that as I am able.
I’m not letting this go.
Just know that I am good. My spirit is in a good place. I will get better!
