Doctor's Appointment

Went to see the jerk from the clinic today. I had to drive to Texas City, where I thought I was going to get to see someone else, guess not. I had a well woman exam a couple of weeks ago, and they did blood work. When he came in I told him about my most recent trip to the ER, and what the doctor said. He looked at my chart and the blood work from the well woman exam. He turned around and I guess he realized that I wasn't blowing smoke up his butt. I had been on a very strong antibiotic for about a week when the blood was drawn. My white blood cell count was up, and in combination with the swollen lymph nodes, it doesn't take an idoit to know what the next round of questions were going to be. I don't have Lymphoma on either side, but there is cancer on both sides of my family. He FINALLY looked at my legs!!!! Of course they were swollen, I had been sitting upright for over an hour at by this time. He wasn't a jerk any more. He said just like the ER there was nothing that the clinic could do for me anymore, but he would refer me to a specialist at UTMB. So, now I have to wait!
