Miss Vickie called me already. I don't have an appointment set up with Dr. Jacobs as of yet since I will be seeing a plastic surgeon about the DIEP. She gave me 2 different numbers I needed to call and set up appointments. Whew....breathe...breathe....
My first call was to the plastic surgeon to set up a consult. She is one of the doctors that will be working on me in addition to Dr. Jacobs. So I have an appointment with her on Wednesday the 1st.
The second call was to John Hopkins to set up a consult with them for the plastic surgeon who does the actual DIEP and that one is on Monday at 8:45 in the morning. Wanna know the best part? It's in downtown Baltimore. So I'm sure that leaving the house around 7:15ish is in my future, if not before then. Oh joy, oh joy. How did I get myself into this?? Anyone out there wanna tell me how long it would take me to get there during Monday rush hour?? I just have to hope that Andy can go with me, cause I don't drive in big cities with lots of 1 way streets, and this is not the kind of crap that I want to do alone.
Lots of paperwork. Lots of doctors. Lots of stress. Lots of anxiety. Lots of worry. A whole lot of everything. This feels like a horrifying roller-coaster, and frankly, I don't like roller-coasters, not even the kiddie ones.
Someone please wake me up when this is all over. Really!
