Doctor to doctor to doctor... Enough already!!!
Well we are back from Lillian's appointment. I wish I had something new to report, but true to the medical profession, I do not. I am now waiting for an appointment with the Plastic Surgery department to discuss sedation options for Lillian. Apparently the Dermotology department does not have the means for any kind of sedation, whether it's conscious or not. Hence I now have to wait upwards to 6 weeks for a consult with Plastics, which does do sedation, to decide which type to use for Lillian. THEN at that time I can make an appointment to have her last Pilomatrixoma removed. I only hope in this time that it does not grow into the size of a grapefruit. I am just annoyed. It seems like you have to make an appointment to see a doctor to make an appointment to see a different doctor, only to have to wait longer to get an appointment to see yet another doctor before you can even think about getting your problem resolved. Enough already!!! Anyway, the kids were excellent today, very well behaved even with us and 3 other doctors crammed into one tiny room. Really, does it take 3 doctors to tell me that they can't help me and I need to talk to someone else? They were wanting me to hold off on the surgery, trying to tell me that pilomatrixomas are slow growing and that maybe in a year she will sit still for the horrible stinging shots in her arm... Ummmm, no. This is her third pilomatrixoma (which is very uncommon to begin with), they grow very quickly in her, she already has 2 scars over an inch long and at the size her bump is now we are looking at a half inch scar. She was traumatized from the last removal and there is no way in holy heck she will forget that or sit still to let you do it again. Give her the drugs!!!!! I know my daughter and her bumps better than they do.. so listen to me! OK, enough venting. I'm done.. for now.
