AimeeM Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I keep putting it off. I know it isn't right or good, but I do. I *need* to call my son's pulm team and set up his check up/x-rays. He's past due for it. I'm just scared. I'm uneasy. There's something in my gut that doesn't want to call. That doesn't want to know. Sounds horrible doesn't it? The last time he went in for a check up, post op, he had to be readmitted to the hospital. He seemed fine, other than a low fever, but his partial lung (the portion that they didn't remove) had recollapsed and he had contracted an infection. He wasn't fine and it threw me... much more than the initial dx. He was there for so LONG. So now I need to call and set up another apppointment and he seems fine otherwise, but he is coughing... and I can't shake this feeling... the "can't we just keep on like we are" feeling... the cough is probably just a cold... but maybe not... Someone slap me and tell me to just call. I have to. I'm going to really. I just need a shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Oh honey! That's just a rough one. Make the call. Think of it as nipping that nasty cold in the bud before it becomes pneumonia. :grouphug: :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDmom Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I hate making phone calls. Especially to doctors. But you just have to grit your teeth and do it. Procrastinating will only make your life more stressful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 If you think there is something wrong, then isn't that even more reason to call?! Call, because you will hate yourself if you wait, and that cough does damage or hurts your kiddo. :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I totally know the feeling. I sometimes have to talk myself into making certain appointments for ds, especially the ones that involve not so fun tests. You have to do it. Grab your phone. Do you have it? Go get it! Ok, got the number? On the count of 3. One, two, three- CALL! When you're all done, sit down and eat some chocolate. (((Hug))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yes, you have to call. If it is something, putting it off will only make it worse. If it isn't something, putting it off will only cause you to fret over nothing. You can do this. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AimeeM Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 I called. They want to see him at 9:15 tomorrow. If you're the praying sort... or even the good vibes sort... they would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now at least you can deal with whatever's going on instead of just worrying about what it might be. I will pray for you and your son.
