I was sick for a few weeks with nausea ,vomiting, dehydration coinciding with an infected tooth. I lost 22 lbs in 12 days as a result, had the tooth extracted an was givin antibiotics for the tooth. These pills eased the nausea an vomiting some what and at the end of that period I felt fine. I, wife an son went for a nice walk cuz seamed like the systoms had passed like most stomic bugs. NOPE the next day after not vomiting for a few days, just as I finished the medication it came back with a vengeance.
During this period I had recieved a call from my Health Care Plan ( health insurance) an she just was curious how I was doing with my over all health, because I have Type II Diabetes. The RN's calls once every 3 months for a check up on my situation an if I have any other questions. I filled her in what was going on an she recomended I see my PCP an have him order tests to why I am not getting better. Ok I said an next day after the call I did but it came from no where as I thought an shrugged it off but was concerned.
Week later it was back again is then I called my PCP, got appt, an gave me orders for tests at the near by hospital. He said you should get most of these done today, Im thinking ok. I handed the secretary them an she said You have to wait for approval from THE INS CO first( OMG Im thinking as my will just crashed). Is when my Wife stepped in an took over an yelled an argured with the secretary. She said
BS im taking (him) meaning me, to the hospital right away an away she did. I had no will at that point I was in need of an advocate cuz I was going down for the count..
She is a retired/disabled CNA for 30 yrs at a Hospital School for Handicapt children. She is my wife of 23 yrs and my best friend, supporting me in the best way she can but its ruff for her, I know this and I am patient with her even as I have episodes over the lack of calling me with the proper nouns . I am resolving those issues in a more productive manner after the last outburst but in my defense I was totally sick, physically and mentally, but I have learned and I am making corrections.
I had calledmy Gender Specialist about my next appt and my current health issues. She rescheduled myappt and said If I get hospitalized make sure I tell them that I am Transgenered and they will give me a private room through out my stay. I didnt know this but ok , so I went into the emergency room untile it was time to addmit me is then I told them I have to Disclose some thing.
No avalable private rooms yet but sent me to ICU for 1 day. When it was time for my spouce (wife) to see me she made sure that they are giving me my Transgenered medications. Is when I put her in as my Health Care Proxy.
I am a Leader/Loner and I pave my own journey to suit my income and my needs. I dont know every thing as I learn through asking and seeing .
I am totally gratefull for the transwomen before me that have made my journery easier to pave. In this I thank You
