I was hoping I'd have more answers today. I went to the doctor yesterday for another ultrasound and blood test because I have been having more pelvic pain as well as other symptoms; shoulder pain, low grade fever, dizziness, nausea, and the sharp pelvic pain. I was worried that my cyst had ruptured. I had another ultrasound yesterday that revealed that my cyst grew from 7cm to over 10cm in 3 weeks and that I have gallstones that need surgery as well. Oh, my goodness! I feel like next they're going to tell me I need my apendix taken out or something! I am so frustrated that they can't give me a surgery date because it's not authorized yet. I have been waiting two weeks and they say it could take four more. So when I called the doctor yesterday after I was done with my tests, there was no one there that might answer my questions regarding my symptoms. I could not believe that I could not get a hold of anyone. I had to wait until today. The office that my GYN referred me to received my results and says that it's not an emergency and could wait until my surgery is scheduled. They will call me tomorrow(of course the lady that schedules surgeries and takes care of authorizations was not there and my doctor is only there on Tuesdays). They think it might be approved already and might be able to schedule me for next week. I sure hope so because my medi-cal turns HMO on the 1st of the month and they will have to start all over with the authorization. So I am very frustrated and anxious, having to play the waiting game. I need to plan things around my surgery and I can't do that because I don't know when it's going to be...More importantly, I'm tired of the pains I get. I'm nervous about the surgery (even though I've had a c-section before) and waiting just makes it worse. So I do more research online and try to call someone...but I realize of course that no matter how much research I do, they won't know for sure exactly what I have until they do the surgery...everyone's case is different, but it really does help me to write with other people about it and read about their own experiences.
