[Sluff]

I just now saw this, Congratulations Kitkaz, I'm sure that was some relief to get good news for a change.

[kitkatz]

Damned Loma Linda and Kaiser finally spoke to each other after I made three phone calls for one appointment., I am supposed to see urologist soon and then we shall see what happens from there.    I am going to start screaming and running in circles at these people.  Tapping toes!

One must remember, patience is a virtue my friend, and good things come to those who wait   (especially if she holds a big stick to kick ass with if shit doesnt start happening)  So you do what you gotsta do girlfriend 

[kitkatz]

I want to curse a blue streak tonight. I call Loma Linda for an appointment now that they have a referral for a urology appointment, the nearest appointment I can get is in September.  What the F****!  I pitched a fit!  Are they going to keep me in limbo forever? I told the secretary no f* way was I going to wait three months for a referral that can take minutes for the doctor to do! Crazy!

[goofynina]

Sorry you had to pitch a fit girlfriend, but GOOD FOR YOU,, at least you stood your ground, hopefully they listened to you and are working on getting you an appt. sooner than September, that is just craziness, CRAZINESS I SAID!!! 

[kitkatz]

So today I get another call from Loma Linda asking me to call and make an appoinyment because my referral has a limited time on it. So I call them and they say "Oh not until September" again.  I yelled at the lady on the phone, then slammed the phone down, then called my transplant coordinator at Kaiser and cried all over her shoulders and then went for a milkshake and fries at Bakers.  The transplant coordinator said it would be allright and I would be calle dint he next two weeks.  So I am out shopping and Loma Linda call me with an appointment.  Guess what day it is on?
Go ahead Guess....I will wait.....



A friggng Moday afternoon! Are they even thinking?

[Wattle]

  I am guessing you are at dialysis monday ... right? Ask if they can make a house call to you at the center then hit them REALLY hard


with your big stick!  ahhhh 

[Sara]

People are just stupid sometimes.     Can you switch your dialysis time to Monday morning so you can make the appointment?

[jbeany]

 

Ah, that's what this avatar is for. . .

they should have added one waving a big stick, though!

[kitkatz]

Here is my update....waiting...waiting....waiting. June 18th is the appointment with the urologist again.

[paris]

I think we spend most of our time waiting for doctors, appointments, etc. I am so sorry you are dealing with all of this on top of dialysis and work.

[bdpoe]

I wait three months to see my Neph. While at dialysis the Neph's office calls to cancell the appointment.
This happened three times.  So each time I call back and have to set up another apointment for almost another
month later.

Several times I call the Neph's office about a problem. They say
you must see your General Practitioner for that."

I go to the Gen Prac and he says "maybe you should dicuss this with your Nephrologist."

Hey do you darn guys communicate with each other?
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
................bd

[glitter]

we found the perfect solution to the communications problem- we found a young General DR. whom we just love. Then we asked if he had a Neph who he was personal friends with, and he said yes and gave us a referreal. Now if it needs to be cross-discussed its done easily.  They give each other heads up all the time.

[kitkatz]

Okay it is June 18th and I am off to the urologist appointment at Loma Linda, a continuation of the transplant work up.  Please pray it is good news in the next two hours.   The know I tied at the end of my rope is frazzling fast.

[jbeany]

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, kit.

[tamara]

Hope all goes well Kit,  I know a remedy to stop the rope from frazzling do the chicken dance ! Good Luck Girl!

[Sluff]

My prayers are with you kitkatz...

Hey, you're not home yet? Huh? Hope you're ok and they didn't torture you too much!
 

[kitkatz]

No torture today. Thank goodness. Just along wait to hear no results.  Then left up to me if I want more invasive tests, or do I want to leave it up to the renal transplant team. I left it in their hands. We will see what they say they want done to me in the next few months to get cleared for transplant. *Sigh* More waiting.

[charee]

hang in there kit i know what its like i have to loose weight and get a kidney removed before i can be listed although you have been waiting alot longer than me it still sucks

[Wattle]

   Kit, you have amazing strength. I am sorry that they are still stuffing you around. {{{HUG}}}

[kitkatz]

I got in touch with the transplant coordinator and she called Loma Linda. I have a new transplant coordinator over there. Like I was notified? She says they will take me back to committee and see what happens. I should be hearing back from her in two to three weeks.  Waiting....waiting...
