Well, to fill in on recent events...I did call about the labs for Dr. Olson~it wasn't a pleasant series of events that led to today. That Friday, they weren't in, but expected them Saturday which meant Monday. On Monday when I called, the lady actually yelled at me and told me NOT to call there again. I should get the results from my doctor. I calmly explained the situation, but it didn't matter to her. They weren't in and she wasn't in the mood to speak with me. Needless to say, I didn't call again Tuesday. I felt confident they should have been in and been faxed to Kaci though. We were emailing back and forth and I told her to expect them. Wednesday I tried to call, but they were already gone for the day.
This leads to Friday afternoon. I missed a call from National Jewish during bus duty. Of course I couldn't call back, because I didn't know who it was from. I had an email at home from Kaci, she said they had the labs and Dr. Olson just needed to review them and she would call me later. At 7:00 p.m. Kaci called, it had been her earlier. Her voice was almost...sad. She said she didn't have great things to share with me. :( Okay, let's hear it. They had reviewed the lab results and the lab had performed the WRONG TEST on the blood! Yes, that's right, WRONG TEST! Dr. Olson double checked the order she had sent and it was correct. She had ordered a TPMT level and the lab order some kind of liver test instead. Needless to say, over two weeks have been wasted and now we have to start over again with testing because I can't start treatment without the results of this test. Deep breath, deep breath, deep breath - I can handle this. Her suggestion was to go to the rheumatologists office Monday morning and have him order the test through his preferred lab, surely they would know to do the correct test.
On top of this she also explained that there is some confusion about my surgery. I got a bizarre phone call earlier today from the surgeon's temp assistant asking me why I had scheduled the surgery on my own. Of course I didn't do that, someone called me and told me to set it up, but she made me feel like I was losing my mind. What is going on??????? Apparently after talking to me, she called Kaci. Kaci said Dr. Olson was going to take care of everything. The surgery is extremely important. They would never have me do it if it wasn't. It's a type of sinus surgery, but they are telling me not to call it sinus surgery because it is so different and so much more complicated??? There is so much I don't understand right now.
