right so like i said. on feb. ...............4th i went to the ER. i was out, actually that day in my mom’s neighborhood [cherry creek] by True Foods which is an eatery. and i started feeling really bad. dizzy, nauseous, in quite a bit of pain. so i sat down for a bit on the ground. then i think i went inside and had a bit of water which didn’t help. um. then i think i went to the ladies’ rm. and got ‘TMI sick’, slowly and carefully made my way to a bench in front of a parking lot and texted my mom and asked to be picked up nqas.
she did. this was around 3 in the afternoon.

and then. around 6 no it was 9. We went to the ER. at Rose. in denver. cause i didn’t feel better by that time is why we waited. i remember getting sick a lot that day. They did the whole nine took my blood, vitals, CT scan. Norah was my nurse i liked her. and dr. moon. he was funny, compassionate. he was lovely. oh Michael was the emt [my parents took me] i liked him as well. so Dr. Moon. dx.’ed me w/. a kidney stone. yeah i figured that was what it was. and i don’t remember who it was but someone dx.’ed me w/ a kidney infection. i think i may have been diagnosed w/ a UTI as well. we were there for like 4 hrs. or so. they gave me painkillers as well [i should hope so] via IV. yeah i don’t like hospitals. well not that i did before. and i got flomax. not bc ladies have a prostate, as we don’t. passing the stone was of course really painful.

so. then i was i think at my mom’s for a wk. while i recovered.

on val. day i had a follow-up w/ dr. schorr. yeah turns out. i don’t like him. he’s too nice which means he’s intense. it’s weird.

so then on the. 23rd back in the um ER. for an apparent UTI again. yeah i texted/called my mom, we talked about options, she came and picked me up. Denise was the PA redhead denise. i did not like her at all. i felt she was loud, cold, judgemental. Clearly. the woman’s in the wrong profession. oh right. we went around 7 or so i think. that was a wed. i had. this orange antibiotic liquid stuff there. right. so it took near the end, of my visit for them to give me low dose painkillers even though. i’d asked prior to that. The woman’s lucky i wasn’t in more pain. she said it was miscommunication. i was all nice about it but yeah no. she’s just not a nice person.

april 13th i saw Dr. A. like in person same w/ dr. s. he was lovely. really nice, compassionate, patient, quiet. intelligent [well. i hope so dr. moon was as well.]. i forgot right now why i saw him. .........

and then. the 14th back to the ER again. for well what i thought was enterocolitis. no. it was standard colitis, the stomach flu, a ‘viral intestinal infection’ [no it’s listed, in the results as ‘colitis, viral intestinal infection’ implying 2 seperate things. never did find out what exactly the infection was] and. again as mentioned. ovarian cysts. dr. levy was my dr. ya know at first i liked him. but knowing he didn’t say anything about a follow-up regarding the cysts now i’m not so sure. i had another ‘denise’ as my nurse i felt she had the same personality as the first but not loud. omygod what a b*tch. The 2 CT scan ladies were lovely, sweet. in an old-lady way but not like. too much. Lindsay and Amanda. let’s see.............they took like a lb. of blood from me as they kept testing it. and, given my estimated weight as of late, i have 2 lbs. [of blood] in me so. but the body keeps making more and i don’t have any blood disorders. oh now i remember.........yeah Greg was. well i’m not clear on what his actual job title is but i liked him. he was cool. quiet, nice. he reminded me of my friend Mark actually. Mark’s great he’s a good guy. and um. ..........i also met Meagan who may. have been a nurse. she was cool. yeah apparently the thing about hospitals/ERs is that each time someone goes they see new people. which i didn’t know untill then.

so the following day. i had an in-person w/ dr. combs. omygod i didn’t like him. at all. what a jerk. He actually scared me just. his personality. thank god there were other women in the rm. although nothing. like physically/medically wrong happened. he was uncompassionate, cold, confrontational. and such. i think i saw him for a follow-up. he didn’t know what the problem was. a nurse there [‘there’ being uchealth, the clinic i go to], Janet said he was ‘sweet’ and ‘everyone liked him’. well. she was wrong. very wrong. i’m never seeing him again. he wasn’t sure what the problem was. However i did get to meet the lovely nicole the med assistant. er janet’s not a nurse she’s a med assistant, sorry. there was a medical resident there. i liked her she was quiet, sweet. and that’s why. it’s hard for me to trust the opinion of any med professional. which is sad, really.

i think. later that day i went back, the ER. yes, again. i met dr. jack stacy he was lovely. sweet. he’s actually doing a residency. as was dr. a and apparently. they’re good friends makes sense as they’re ‘a lot’ alike. and i met dr. morrison i liked him. my nurse marie was cool.

so then. on the 22nd, of that uh month. i had an in-person appt. w/ dr. m my mom’s dr. Initially i thought she was ok. but then. at my mom’s appt. which was a few days later. when my mom was telling her about dr. combs, dr. m went ‘in his defense’ which. basically means she was defending him. meaning. not on my side. so yeah ever since. i don’t like her. also she mentioned my weight [i’m small] which. i don’t like when people do. like not by the number though. i never want to know what it is. i get really uncomfortable when people talk about their weight, gaining or losing. like god this is. this is awkward.

ok so then on the 9th. of last month during the time i had covid. i had a video call w/ Dr. L who. i ended up not liking. I felt she didn’t acknowledge the fact that like. i’m able to speak up if i think something’s medically wrong being that. as evidenced by the fact that she was telling me that if my mom. thought something was wrong she, my mom, would be the one to say something. um yeah no. and that’s not the kindof relationship my mom & i have. um. i got paxlovid. for the virus.

so. the following day [or maybe it was the 9th] i had an infusion appt. but that got cancelled. bc like hell i’m going to be watched after. i mean i’m not 2. i think i can be responsible for my own security when it comes to things like that [and no that’s not why i didn’t get the flu shot back in sept.].

on the 10th. i was in awful pain all day. stomach pain i think. i probably should. have gone to the ER as it was that bad but i didn’t bc i wanted my mom to have an ok day bc the day prior hadn’t been for us. like i said. on the 7th i got covid and so was at my mom’s for a wk.

on the. either the following day or the 12th i had a video call appt. w/ dr. taneka he was ok.

and then. like i said on the 10th. of this month which was fri. i went to urgent care w/ my mom and was dx.’ed w/ um. an ingrown toenail/toenail infection. oh. sorry, i saw apparently dr. smith [yes that’s really his name] he was ok, nice. i felt the med assistant aqueva was loud. and i say ‘apparently’ as he hadn’t introduced himself and i only know his name is ‘dr. smith’ bc it’s on the pill bottle. i was pres. cefnidor which apparently also has lupin in it which i think is a plant.

so. lots of turnover w/ dr.’s. apparently. i’ve seen a series of dr,s lately. which is why. i’m so glad dr. nick has been my perio for at least the last 3 yrs. i um. i haven’t been to the ER in a little over 2 months however. so. evidently a lot of dr,’s don’t take insurance which. is the problem. i have med insurance luckily. and they won’t take it bc of money. well i didn’t know this untill fairly recently. that, and availability [and well covid. since a lot of dr.’s have quit] are the reasons it took us untill. for my appt. to be on the 20th. of this month. i actually had one the 16th w/ a lady but that got cancelled for some reason and then. i again had another one on the 16th but that was w/ a guy and i didn’t know what kindof appt. it was. like if it was a general appt. or? and that one also. got cancelled. so i was getting really damn frustrated that an appt. hadn’t been sched. it seems like i waited a really long time for that to happen. and i’m not going to the ER for my lady parts problem since evidently. ERs aren’t for. that. they’re more for like general issues. unless i was like bleeding a lot [which i was but luckily it stopped] and it didn’t stop. i mean there’s not much they can do, really. regarding this situation. i mean not that i want. to go cause i don’t. i have enough blood in me. [however i do know my blood type. which well i did before, all this happened.].

sorry, doc, i’m through. or i was.
