Update on the baby chase

Well, I recently discovered that my cholesterol is high.  Scary high.  Over 500 high.  So, understandably the fertility doc demanded I get cleared by a cardiologist before they will see me again.  I picked the cardiologist with the earliest appointment, and I'm regretting it.  I had two appointments with him, and the last one left me pissed off and in tears.  He said to me:  "You really need to think about this; you really shouldn't pass your genes along to a child."  "<sigh> You can just adopt, you know!" and then he left me in his office in tears without a backwards glance.  I'm now trying to get an appointment in the only other practice in town, but it's an uphill battle.  Apparently, "professional courtesy" dictates that they not accept me since I'm already a patient of Dr. Asshole, and they'll have to "consider it".  I'm trying to keep my spirits up and my cholesterol down, but I'm really sad about the whole situation right now.  Off to eat some Cheerios with an oatmeal chaser.

I'm so sorry to hear that you have to deal with high cholesterol and a doctor with an attitude. Best of luck getting into another doctor.

Take care of yourself. You're in my thoughts.
