Echoooooo

Had an Echo this morning.
Tech showed and told me of a Tricuspid regurgitation.
GREAT, something else.
"Everyone has leaks though" she said.
Yes they do but when you see YOURS on the monitor it is a little disarming.
Called to find out about my Stress Thallium appointment and was told that I have to call the Dr.
I was to be given a pre cert # and I wasn't.
Well fuckadoodle. It's the holiday weekend. No one is around in the office.

Went to my primary last Thrusday. It was SUPPOSED to be my 6th month visit...and the springboard into submitting my paperwork to the insurance company.
Nah, she (my Dr) has other plans it seems.
She is VERY much against this surgery. She has been very vocal about it.
If she gives me more trouble about going forward I will just take my 6 months of weight tracking progress notes, fire her as my primary and trot on over to another Dr. Thank goodness I work in the industry and know many of them.

The Pulmo's office keeps calling me to make an appointment. The results form my second sleep study are in..... I have called the freaking office for a WEEK and no one answers. SOMETIMES the service answers...they just tell me when the office is open.
I chose my PCP because a few years ago my PCP who was also my Endocriologist (the best Dr I have had aside from my OB/GYN) started to only see peds. On my mothers recommendation I started seeing her Dr. Eh....no great impressions but I am my Dr in my eyes..and she would "do". She has her own agenda though. Likes HER referred testing sites and sub specialists. Perhaps it is because I am in the healthcare field but many of the Drs she has sent me to are sub par ( IN MY OPINION and experience). The place she sent me for the sestamibi and Dexa...CRAPOLA, her old partner who I had to see when she was unavailable... CRAPOLA...and the Pulmo(I would and should have gone to another) CRAPOLA....and last but not least....the Cardio ...CRAPOLA..I knew him a decade ago (less fat than I am now) and he was less grumpy and more attentive...maybe he just doesn't like fat people...maybe he is just an old bastard....
Man I am grumpy...but these are not the team I would be choosing.....I am changing PCPs after this banding crap is over....maybe a few months out though so she can see the results and change her mind.

So, I'm taking my tired, tricuspid leaking self to bed early. I have a splitting headache.

No walking tonight unless the pain goes away.
