So I was just on the phone with Kelly and I got a beep from UT Southwestern Medical Center. Vic saw a neurologist there about 3 weeks ago because of some issues with his muscles contracting and being stiff for no reason. They sent him for an MRI last Monday, the 10th and scheduled an appt. for Apr 2nd (Vic's birthday, no less). So today when they show up on caller ID, I'm just assuming that it's something with that. So here's the conversation:

Girl: "Hi, is Fred there?"

Me: "No, can I take a message?"

Girl: "This is So-and-so from UT Southwestern Neurosurgery department and I need to set up an appointment for him."

Me: "Well. He has an appt. on Apr. 2nd, does he need another one?"

Girl: (clicks on the computer for a few second) "Oh, yes, that's with the neurologist, this is the neuroSURGERY and he has been referred to us."

Me: "He doesn't know he even needed to be referred anywhere, we haven't gotten the MRI report yet."

Girl: (after a good 20 seconds of awkward silence) Well, I'm not sure why he hasn't been contacted. I just have the referral here from Dr. Whatever and it says to get him in ASAP.

Me: "Here is his cell phone, call him."

So I gave it about 5 minutes and called him. He doesn't know anymore than I did. So I had him call the Dr's office and they told him that they have 15 days to get him the report and that the nurse is gone for the day but they will leave a message for her to call him tomorrow. He called me back to tell me and I told him to call again and have the nurse paged TONIGHT. I haven't heard back from him.

This is SO not cool. How the fuck do they just call and say "You've been referred to a neurosurgeon ASAP, but we don't know why." Someone should have called him and told him that he was being referred for reason XYZ. And now I'm crazy wanting to know what is wrong with his brain now that looks as if he needs brain surgery....

So please pray for Vic. And me. We are really just too busy worrying about getting pregnant to have brain surgery thrown in the mix. That does damper the plans a tad.

Oh, and go ahead and ask Davis to ask God to protect Vic's brain along w/ his throw up. (gag).

More later....
