Finally - An Appointment Date

So yesterday I called the USF high risk doctor's office to schedule an appointment. The lady on the phone told me that I am registered but that they can't schedule an appointment until my doctor's office sends my medical records. I told them that my doctor's office told me last week that they had confirmed receipt of medical records and that I would be getting a phone call within 24-48 hours. They said (in a kind of rude tone), "well we don't have anything and we can't do anything until your doctor's office sends it to us."

So yesterday afternoon I called my doctor's office and had to leave a message. No one returned my call.

So this morning Mike and I and Jonathan went to sit in my doctor's office to get some answers. When the lady who has been working on this met with us, she told us that she called USF today and they told her that they left a voicemail with me on the 22nd (DID NOT) asking me to return the call to schedule an appointment. She told them that I called yesterday and they didn't seem to know anything about that. They let her schedule the next available appointment for me.

So (yes, this is the 4th paragraph starting with the same word) we now officially have an appointment for January 17th to go see the high risk doctor. After this 3 weeks of waiting adventure, I am lacking a little in the belief that they are overly competent, but hopefully they will prove this was a fluke.

Mike asked if there was concern that I've already gone three weeks since the last appointment and it will be three weeks until the next appointment. They were the ones who told me I'm high risk and would need to be monitored much more often. She said that it should be okay as long as I'm not having complications and that if I do start to have them to call and try to get in sooner.

At least we have a date on the calendar. I'll be 15 weeks at that point. Thanks to those of you who have been praying that we would be able to get this scheduled.
