Beta #2

I went yesterday to have my blood drawn for beta #2, but my RE was out of the office all day in surgery. I was told I would not get my results until today. Although I wanted to say no that's not ok. I tucked my tail between my legs and walked out. Yesterday was the longest day of my life. I must have woken up 5 times last night just to check the clock. Finally at 7:30 this morning my phone rings. I jump out of bed and run over to my phone but it's not my RE only a friend of mine calling to say hi. Hours pass, I wanted to call but I didn't want to be the annoying girl. Finally at 11:45 the phone rings and it's my RE's office I answer and it's the receptionist calling to book an appointment for my ultrasound on February 2nd. Wait but what about the results of my beta. The receptionist responds back well I guess things are ok if the Dr wants you to come in for an ultrasound. I ask her to put the Dr or someone on the phone that can tell me my results and I am quickly dismissed with a "I'll have someone call you back". Great! More waiting. Finally at 2 P.M. I decided I have had enough of the worrying. So I call the back nurses line. The nurse answers and I explain that I need to know. 2463 she replies. Ahhhhh I feel a sigh of relief. Thank god that there is someone in that office that is willing to tell me what is going on. Out of an office of 7 women there is only one person I can count on and what is really sad is that it is not my RE. If now I could only get my lovenox injections I would feel a million times better.



Update: Insurance just denied my lovenox injections and requested my RE put me on Fragmin instead. Out of pocket lovenox is $1100 a month. The new medication requires me to take 2 injections a day for the next 9 months. Hopefully insurance will be willing to cover that one. If not, I'm Fu%#ed
