Nie chwal dnia przed zachodem słońca

Don't praise the day before sunset  (Don't celebrate until you are 100 % there is a reason to do so.)

Well, I finally have the date June 21, 2012 for my cardioversion. Wait not so fast. Is any country in the world health system as dysfunctional as the US ?  I was called about a week ago with the date, then on Monday it was cancelled, and today I get a call from the hospital that it is on again, so I completed the prescreening and called my doctor’s assistant who confirmed it is not on for tomorrow and she had the cancellation from the hospital in my file.

So here I sit in limbo.  Lightheaded and headachy in 90 degree heat wondering when I will feel normal again.  I’m beginning to cough up foam again so I’m concerned.  Last time I began coughing up foam I ended up in the emergency room.  It’s not that I did nothing. I made an appointment with my general practitioner and it was so severe I took my tea towel full of foam as proof and she proudly informed me that my symptoms did not match with her book so I must be psychosomatic.  I nearly threw the towel from my lap at her face! Who would make that up?  She finally did prescribe Mucinex and after no improvement in two days I checked myself into the ER.  

So here I am again, seven months later and the same symptoms are developing. I wonder if I end up in the ER before this coordination of doctors is resolved.
