I was self-pay but I've been on a cycle of PB, swelling, liquids, etc that has culminated to today not being able to drink anything since lunch and now throwing up blood. Not a little, since like 8 p.m.

Will my insurance cover a trip to the ER? I can't sleep and in a lot of pain. I'm supposed to have an unfill at 2 pm tomorrow, but I don't think I can wait.

Thanks.

Kristin

I'm so glad you're on the mend! Feel better soon. (((HUGS)))

Glad to hear that you are okay Kristin! I've been checking this thread all day to see how you are doing... Sorry the doc didn't take out the amount of fill that you paid him for.. Geez! Happy to hear you are okay!

Thank Goodness you alright! I would insist my cash be returned from the otrher DOctor. Or I would threaten to have him plastered all over the local tv news. Heal well & fast!

Oh YAY! I'm glad you're doing betting Kristin! I'm curious about how you feel right now? I had a that really bad (single) PB incident and felt sore front and back right at my sternum. I thought I had recovered from the PB - did 3 days of liquids, etc. - had my first fill 10 days later and the pressure/pain came back. Now I'm curious about how long it REALLY takes to recover from a PB. I know you don't know the answer to the how long question yet but, how does your sternum feel? If you breathe deeply does it make your sternum and back hurt, or can you feel a kind of pressure there?

I'm following my doctors orders and I think I'm on my way to recovery but, when I ate mushies a little while ago the back pain came back.

This is kinda sucking right now. I bet you're feeling about the same way, huh?

I'm glad you got it taken care of, and I agree with the previous poster, you should ask that other doctor for your money back!

Keep in touch.

kristin,

thank God you are ok. i bet i have checked this thread a hundred times today!!

you stay tough!!

SO happy you are ok and will be feeling better in no time! About the other doctor not taking any out...that is really upsetting. I can't imagine what happened...him thinking he took some out but didnt or knew he hadnt/couldnt but didnt tell you. Just strange.

Hope you are feeling better now!

And also, good information to have about the ER, I'm also a self pay and it's nice not having to worry about that too....

OMG Kristin, I am so glad you are back and ok!! I was worried sick all day today! I must have told my husband 20 times today about you, to the point where he asked me how you were doing this evening!! LOL I am so glad they got you all figured out, and i would be furious about the other doc not removing anything. You should take your medical records to that doc and demand your money back asap. That is totally uncool. You should also request that he pay for any costs that arise from your ER trip, since it prolly would not have happened if the unfill had been done correctly. Good to hear you are empty and recovering, and I am sure in 3 weeks you will be anxious to have it refilled.

Ugh, I can go back to work without worry now. LOL HUGS girly.

Just saw your prayer request on the prayer thread and lo and behold, here you are feeling better!! So glad to hear you got relief and are on your way for what we hope is a quick recovery. Bless your heart....so glad your better.....God does answer prayers!!!

This is great news! Rest up, heal and take care of yourself.

Glad to hear you are doing okay! Take care of yourself!! Liz

Thank Goodness you are OK!!!! I was worried sick about you!!!

Get well!

I'm glad to hear that you're doing OK and that the problem was resolved. Take the time you need to heal.

I am also so glad that you are feeling better! What a scare!
