Thank goodness each day starts anew!
I was suppose to have my follow-up appointment with my OB today for the bleeding I experienced last Saturday. I shouldn't have felt so confident with myself and the traffic on the way down to my OB office (from my work to the other side of town) because just as I'm about to turn on the last 6 blocks to get there, I'm stopped by a train. I had to sit in the turning lane and wait and wait and wait (trains are really long around here), so as I saw the end of the train and my light was still green, I pulled out so I could at least turn left on the street I wanted. As I was waiting for the traffic to clear before I could turn, the light turns red and I watch this car (without it's signal on) make a right turn right in front of me - she was just following the traffic in front of her, oblivious that the light had turned (on her cell as well). I had to wait for her before I could finish making my left hand turn and as I'm doing it this car that wants to come across the intersection (because her light is obviously green) starts blaring her horn at me. So my choice, would have been to be just as oblivious as the lady making the right on red and hit her or let the other lady t-bone me...thankfully I was paying to attention and screamed back at her (because you know she heard me)!
The parking is always terrible at the clinic, but thankfully there was a spot for me to sneak into. I'm practically running towards the clinic - cussing the whole time over being late and it taking me 30 minutes to get to my appointment. I get up to the desk and the girl looks at me and goes - "we don't have anything set up for you today." I immediately felt myself falling apart emotionally, but kept it together to tell her specifically who I talked to and when. She looks over to the girl at the next desk as the one I spoke to and her face drops. To top everything off, my OB was not in at all today and they thought it was best for me to see him and not just the nurse practitioner who was there. Guess who has the first appointment of the day tomorrow?! You guessed it, ME! They better give me an ultrasound and some answers tomorrow!
I do feel horrible for my husband though, I called him as I was leaving the clinic. I don't think he really heard anything audible, as I was sobbing. I'm sure he thought the worst at the moment, but thankfully I was finally able to get out what happened to him. These clinics really should know not to screw anything up with a hormonal and emotional pregnant women - ESPECIALLY one who has been experiencing bleeding!
