22-12-2008 - Waiting...

My mood while writing this blog:
Mad

Okay, so this is just a quick vent about this weeking and this morning. So, last night was my family's annual Christmas Party (black tie). I couldn't find anything to wear to it and had to go with a Lane Bryant shirt because it was the only thing that would fit me in the arms and fit around my tummy and was formal enough and not sleeveless to wear (notice how everything is sleeveless in formal dresses??? WHY?). Anyway, I was so mad at the way I looked in the shirt because it was way too baggy in the top and the mock bow around the empire waste couldn't be tightened. So while crying and pitching a huge fit, I took sissors to it and tried to stitch it up so it would look half way decent. And doing so about 30 minutes before the party started. Well, that didn't work. So I had to put it all together with safety pins. And then got mad that I had ugly boots on from payless and I couldn't wear a nice outfit. My poor husband just didn't know what to do. I was so upset. lol. Then I had to fast part of last night and this morning because I was going in for my 3 hour glucose test last night. So all weekend I've been eatting decent and last night, I avoided the cakes and cookies and anything that had too many carbs and stopped eatting and drinking anything other then water after 8pm. I got up all ready to pass this glucose test and even took my christmas cards and laptop to watch movies so I wouldn't get bored during the 3 hours. So, I'm the 3rd signed in to have my blood drawn and they FINALLY call me back 45 minutes after I signed in (because they were all taking and visiting in the back to give a crap about their job). I am told to go sit in room number 3. And I sit there for another freaking 15 minutes before the nurse comes back and asks me if I had made an appointment. AN APPOINTMENT? NO, I had not made an appointment! I was NEVER told I had to make one and I have NEVER had to make one in the past!!! Its not like I'm coming in at 2 to have this done! It was 8 AM and I was the 3rd person there!!! And they don't sit there with you for the 3 hours! They take your blood and then dump you back in the waiting room! Then in an hour, they take your blood again. I mean, its not an appointment making place. You get your paper work and you just go over there to get the lab work done. So why do I have to have an appointment all of a sudden?! I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mad. So the girl tells me that they can't do my test because they can't fit me in! What the heck!!! Then she says that they earliest that they can do it is on the 29th or 5th! I'm sorry but I thought i was told that I had to do it ASAP! Where in the hell does it say a week to two weeks is considered asap?! And its not like there is a "specialist" there that does it! It was the same people there this time as it was last time! So what a freaking waste of my time and worrying. I mean, REALLY. I cried leaving the office. I hate those stupid people.

OH - I feel your anger: my day- woke up 530am- had my 3 hr glucose at 720- i had water in my hand and they were like "WHAT are you doing you arent allowed to eat or drink" i said- its just water... i thought i was allowed to drink water... "NO YOU ARENT" they made me sit and wait 30 min before giving me the drink. So i drank it and within a half hour i started feeling sleep and nauseous... well i have my glucose meter - so at the 1 hr mark i checked my sugar and it was 289. I was like "ssshittt" thats high. I go to the bathroom and get a little sick and alittle throwup comes into my mouth and i spit it into the toilet- now i am meaning like half a mouth full. So - the lady is waiting for me after the bathroom visit- she says how you feel? i answered i just threw up a little bit- they call a nurse and tell me to resecheldal my apt bc i threw up and thats ruined the test. I was pissed- and scared bc i new my sugar was high. or so i thought at that point. So i call the midwife- tell her its 289 at 1hr. should i be concerned--- i had to call her back and at 1.5 hrs my sugar was 335 (my body shaking and i was soo tired)so i call her back and was like its gone higher- then i had to call her again - my two hr mark was 407!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then i started throwing up uncontrollably! Midwife says "you need to come to the hospital! They admited me and said i dont need to do the 3 hr glucose test and they will just diagnose me GD. OH like i couldnt have told them that before? it was a long day and my body is tired.... very tired... 407 girls- remember that shit head dr that told me i was paranoid and not having any sugar problems? and not to check my sugar--- ya well---- what now? girls that dont know sugar should be 140 l hr after eating and 120 2 hrs after eating. anything above 200 your dr gets angry and gives you a talk etc. ANYHOW_ 407! this scared the complete crap out of me.

I would cry, too! It is so stressful to have to worry about fasting, then drinking that nasty stuff, then it is finally time to do it (or so you think) and you get shot down! So then the worry cycle starts all over again and the stress is multiplied by your next appointment! Yeah, I would have felt the exact same way. I was stressed enough as it was even after I convinced them not to make me drink that stuff and just do a fasting test. But I guess all you can do is look at it like this: By the 5th at the latest, it will be over with, and it will be one more hurdle you got past on the way to motherhood, no matter what the results are.

I'm pretty sure I would've grabbed a wrestled a finger pricker from them and started sticking myself :-|

I'm sorry you had to go through all that!!!

OMG... they seriously put you through all of that to tell you to reschedule?!!! Oh I'd have been more than crying, I'd have been pitching the BIGGEST tizzy fit they had ever seen in that lobby!!! You poor thing that is aweful of them to do to you!!

And speaking of clothes and misfitting ugly-ness....I have a business trip to California in 3 week and have NOTHING to wear...I am in panic mode at the moment trying to figure out what on earth I am gonna wear, and how I'm gonna afford to buy it all with Christmas here! And they won't make any exceptions in the dress code for me! Ass holes!!
LOL....sorry, was venting a bit there!! Anyway, you should call your OB and tell her/him what happened and maybe they can send you to a different lab? I hope you get this all squared away soon! This totally has to suck, especially with the holidays right upon us!!
