I finally got another appointment to see a Urologist since the last one decided they were no longer taking my insurance(grrrr). Back in December I told my primary doc that I was having urgency and sometimes it was down right incontinance. I am only 41 years old and this is not anywhere close to being normal! My doctor at the time agreed that although I was having occasional episodes like this before my surgery I definately needed to see the Urologist right away because what they thought was related to my back might not be. I just want it to stop. I was extremly mortified a week ago when I had to call Austins school to have someone bring him to my car because I had wet my pants and couldnt walk near anyone. I still am embarased about it but mostly I just wanna know why it is happening. It made me even more angry that just a week before this incident my entire family and I got up very early to take a trip an hour and a half away so I could see a Urologist. I got up to the counter after checking in and waiting and when I gave them my insurance card she said they no longer take it. OMG I was crying and Bill was trying to figure out a way to pay private but we all decided it was best if I just started looking for another Urologist. To add to my frustration when I went to my primary doctor (wich I love and respect) the office manager called me and said that I can no longer be seen there. This is all because I wrote down on my beginning of the year papers that I would pay private because I now have medicaid. She said that I could pay private but if I have medicaid I cant be seen there(WTF). Anyway I finally found another doctor that takes medicaid and I now have an appointment in March,however I wont hold my breath. Meanwhile I need to go buy those damb Depends or something. How gross is that?
All of this is extremely embarrasing and scary. I just want to be normal for one day(PLEASE!). Why? Why? Why? I know other people are also in my shoes or worse but damb if it doesnt really hurt! Just one day please!!!! Just one day,is that too much to ask for?

Oh hon, NO, One day is not too much to ask. How many times have I uttered that very phrase. I am so sorry that you are going through this. Why not go to the emergency room and make them run the test at the taxpayer's expense. I am tired of people who aren't even here legally getting top notch care and we can't even get seen by a Doctor. As a taxpayer, I would much rather my tax dollars go for a US citizen who needs help. I can only imagine how embarrassing it is. I peed myself when I was pregnant (in my 40's) and would be out in public and it would smell. I had that "new-mommy" smell and could smell things no one else could so I was always afraid I stunk. LOL
I will pray that God sends a Doctor into your life that will give you the care you deserve and keep us posted. This is kinda scary because it could be something little, or something big. Good luck. I will keep you in my prayers.
How old is Austin? I have 2 toddlers and that is kinda rare for a 44 year-old. Just curious. Have a pee-free day (haha) and let us know what is going on when you find out.
Love ya Terrie

Were you able to speak your doctor about his office procedures? Sometimes they will work with you directly or make their office staff bill medicaid anyways...I have had a couple do that to me..I was diagnosed with stage 1 invasive breast cancer last year and that is the only reason why I qualified for medicaid...lovely huh? Well most doctors and PT's that I have seen do indeed take medicaid and there has been no questions about it thus far...I dare them to say anything to me....The hospital that I had my cancer surgeries in is trying to make ME pay the balances after my surgeries and after medicaid has paid..I DON"T THINK SO! They legally cannot do that...I think they just have idiot billers in there.. I would have to agree with gapch65 I am also tired of paying for all the "freebies" for the illegal's who come over here and have their babies thinking that makes them a citizen and takes all the medical care away from us who were born on US soil! You know I don't care what color someones skin is, but dammit...if you aren't born here you don't belong here unless you pay your taxes and work hard like the rest of us...I would do everything I possibly could to make sure YOU are taken care of no matter what! That is my attitude and I dare anyone in the medical profession to tell me otherwise because I have paid my dues until I am too sick and in to much pain to anymore...Girl I wish you all the luck in the world getting the care you so rightly deserve! I will keep you in my prayers always!!
