Feeling defeated....

[patty0715 185]

So after 7 long months I went for my final clearance today from my PCP and he wouldn't clear me because my white cell count was high....I feel fine...I don't have a cold, no sore throat nothing. He re did the blood test and now to wait until Monday for results.

I am so upset. My surgery is scheduled for May 15 and I've done everything I just feel defeated right now.

Why didn't he give you an antibiotic so you can have surgery?

He did another blood test to see if it comes down. On Monday I will get something because I have worked to hard for this to be a set back

That is not cool.

I had a bit of an infection showing in my blood work as well, i think i know what its from. But my doctor slapped me right on antibiotics last week and i'm still scheduled. I also wonder why he did not just give u some antibiotics? I hope it goes down so u can still have surgery. I will be praying 4 u.

Thank u...I don't really know why he didn't just give me antibiotics and I was so upset it didn't even cross my mind. I will definitely ask for them on Monday to get the my clearence.

Thank u God the doctor is going to clear me!!! My second showed my White Cell Count had decreased. I have such a sense of relief....the past few days have been anxiety filled!

And that's why they didn't put you on antibiotics! I'm glad your follow up labs were good. Lots of stuff can cause a bump in a white count (even stress).

Indiscriminate antibiotic use has contributed to a rise in antibiotic resistant superbugs, so gone are the days are just tossing out antibiotics for anything and everything, especially if the patient is asymptomatic.
