OK, after I got back from Vegas I noticed that my port was tender and sore the next day. I just attributed it to all the activity over the weekend. But when I can't even roll over in bed without it hurting or a shirt brushes against it and it HURTS like a mo fo then it is time to see a doc. So I called Dr. Billy's office and asked them if I needed to come in or if this was something I should not be too concerned about. They just called me back and said to come in and see them tomorrow at 1p. So off to Billy I go.

They were saying something about it could be an infection going on. SIGH!!! When will this ever end????????????

Lisa, when I am there tomorrow I am gonna talk to him about YOU and YOUR WOUND. I am taking a picture of your wound with me so he can see what is going on. I am also gonna ask him about how much he would charge as well. SO NO EXCUSES NOW!!!

What's that saying about expecting the worst but hoping for the best? That's me. Dr. Teng is in surgery all day, but I talked to Peggy in his office and 'splained the whole Penni/Billy conversation. He'll be in on Monday. It would be a huge relief if he'd just see me. I'm not extremely hopeful though, since Dr. Rumbault called the other local band doctor here (Fisher) and asked him to take me on, but Fisher said Nevada Med Mal insurance simply won't allow him to take on Mexican patients. Band, what band, I don't have a band - where's Mexico?

Lisa: Dr. Billy and I discussed the Fisher issue as well. He said that Fisher won't take on Mexico patients cause of his personal issues with people going to Mexico period. It "might" have to do with Med Mal Insurance but I get the impression it is more of a personal issue.

SIGNS on the way!!

I think we should start a business --Endoscopy on Demand. We'll need one of those luxury motorhomes and some cute guy (and a cute female assistant for the guys) who will run the tube.

I'll be the guinea pig -- right after DeLarla, of course. :cool:

Hmm...maybe the tube runner should be the girl and the guy should be the assistant? To better hold my hand, of course.... :laugh

HA HA BECCA, you just invented the Band Wagon! I think mobile band services is a fab idea. Where do I sign? Not only will I be the guinea pig, but I want in on the business. A whole menu of items: Fills, Fills under Flouro, Port Manipulation, Endoscopy...

It's after lunch... no word from Teng's office. Phooey.
