life

Well, my mom has been struggling with her knees for a long time. First it was her back and then her knees. She had two knee replacements last October and they finally decided that there was a faulty piece of plastic in one of her knees that is giving her problems. So she was set to have surgery.

Well, she can't have surgery because they found a spot on her chest X-ray. This sucks and she had to wait for the doctor/surgeon to do a biopsy. They perform this last Thursday and said it would be weeks for the results.. huh?? They called the doctor on Monday and was told they have to wait until Tues. They get a call from the surgeon on Monday afternoon to come in on Tues at 3:45 pm. OK>> so they wait in the am. Her doctor calls and tells her flat out that it is not good news and that it is cancer and moves the appointment with the surgeons up to noon. Mom goes in only to hear the results and is told that she has to see the Onocologist for procedures. So why is she meeting with the surgeon in the first place? HE can't do anything with anyone.... why they have to drag this out for people that are already scared confused and upset just really annoys me today. Along with a list of other things but this is first on my mind.
