Feeling really frustrated right now....

I think it is because I am being hit with everything at once...

As you know, Tuesday I go to the Grey Nuns to have my presurgery appointment for the peritoneal dialysis tube placements. I am really trying not to think about it right now. I know it is a good thing, just I get nervous and concerned when I think of it. So trying to think in the NOW.

Then I got hit with two whammies on different fronts. One is from the Renal Transplant team the other was about an ultrasound.

I was expecting information regarding the transplant time but it appears I have to attend some sort of teaching class which is a mandatory "first step" for which I am not automatically put on the list. It is only the start of my workup process. So it is August 25 at 8:30 am at the U of A. Two questions...why so fricken early and why always at the U of A? Doesn't the Royal Alexandria have a renal unit as well.?

I then get a phone call from the ultrasound place. Apparently it is believed that the ultrasound will tell why I am pain. Not sure how, i have had this done before with no answers. I think it is just a waste of time. Again it is on August 23rd at 7:45 AM. Again what is whit the fricken early mornings?Again near the U of A, why? There are perfectly good ultrasound places on the northside (Northgate comes to mind) that would be easier for me to go to. So far it has bee either the U of A or St. Albert. I hate the ultrasounds because I am in so much pain afterwards, usually for a few days.  This is really pissing me off as Dr. Caldwell should be talking with me before making decisions.

I am tired of being poked and prodded without explanation.  I have to have monthly blood work done, for which I got badly bruised.  I am just so frustrated at not having anweres.
