Back to triage!

I was sent back to triage yesterday for high blood pressure. It was 180 over 100. The nurse drew my blood to test for preeclampsia, again. She blew out the vein in my hand and it hurt. BAD. Then she poked around in my arm, which also hurt, and she finally was able to get a few vials of blood from me. I was stuck in triage for about 4 hours. I had missed lunch and it was almost dinner time. So I ate a rice crispy treat. Go figure that then the nurse came in and said they were going to let me go home, but they wanted to test my blood sugar first. It was 160. My doctor freaked out and started telling me that I couldn't eat those kinds of things and i'd end up having a c-section because my baby will be huge if I dont straighten my eating habits out. I was STARVING! It was time for me to take my insulin, I missed lunch, it was dinner time. I wanted to tell her to shut up and leave me alone, but I kept quiet and listened to her just so I could get out of there.
I left with a prescription for blood pressure medication. I have 3 weeks till my induction, talk about waiting till the last minute to take care of this problem!
After I got home I checked the mail and I had a not so pleasant surprise for me. A bill from the hospital for my first triage visit. $400!!!! So every time I go, it's $400! I've gone three times so far. If my doc tries to send me again i'm going to tell her I can't afford to go. They send me down there like its no big thing and then I get this huge bill. I dont think so scooter! They keep me hooked up to a contraction monitor and one that monitors the baby's heartbeat and i'm stuck there for about 5 hours. They have that exact same monitor in the Dr's office, but yet they still send me to triage. Grr.....

The only enjoyable part of this Dr's visit was I got another ultrasound. For once my little man wasn't facing my back! We got a side view of his cute little face. He had his hand in his mouth. SO STINKIN CUTE!!! His other hand had a hold of his foot, haha! Silly baby! :)
