This waiting has been awful! So I called the Pediatric Neurologist office to find out if he had a chance to look at Lily's file. I was told he was out of the office until the following Wednesday! How frustrating! They did not tell the podiatrist's office that when they tried to get a referral.
Lily's foot had been causing her a lot of pain, so we thought about getting her in to either Milwaukee or Madison, to see if she could get in sooner. Madison didn't have any openings until June! Milwaukee said they could get her in within a week if they felt her case was emergent, which meant limb or life threatening. Lily was neither. If we wanted to schedule her in, it would be a few months before she could get in.
I called the podiatrist to ask about some pain reliever for Lily. She was willing to give her some, but with the new drug requirements, we would have to drive an hour to pick up the written prescription to physically give it to the pharmacist. Sorry, we can't do that. She suggested we see her physician here in town.
With it being Friday, her pain has been less on the weekends, so we thought we would wait and see what the weekend brought.
