Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 First off, I know drs are people too and I know situations come up that cannot be predicted but I am getting sick and tired of changed appointments!!!! I think a good half of 's appointments with his rheumy have been rescheduled. I have to ask for days off weeks in advance and it's a real pain for all involved to have to change things yet again. At one point this summer, they even had us waiting each Tuesday for a phone call to know if he could get in to se the dr on Thursday. Which meant at work that I had every Thursday off just in case and when we did go, they had to have someone cover my Friday and Wednesday shifts (Wednesday so I could do the ordering I usually do on Fridays. Add to that the fact that we have to travel down to St Louis and spend the night, because long trips make hurt. We tried doing it in one day and he couldn't walk for 3 days afterwards. This means 2 days off work for me and if we can't find a sitter, the older kids miss school. Plus we have to schedule accomodations, though at least we have hopefully gotten to where we won't have to pay for a hotel room each time. The point of all this is that they have rescheduled 's appointment yet again. Argh! The dr seemed adament at his last appointment that we keep this next appointment, as just started mtx. We got his first blood tests for it done today, 2 weeks after starting. His appointment was supposed to be Jan 6, right after his 4th dose. Now, they put it at Jan 20, when he'll have had 6 doses if the labs come back ok. Sorry this is so long, but I'm rather frustrated at all this switching around.
