Bonnie - you are so amazing I swear. I am so sorry about the day you
have had! Stupid doctors not knowing about PCOS... At least they said
your heart was okay - was your doctor able to give you an emergency
appointment. If not - I would tell his secretary that you drive a semi
for a living and that you can't afford to have an attack like that while
driving one. If that doesn't get you in any sooner email me their
number and I will call them and get you a gosh darn appointment SOONER.
I hate when they say the Dr. can't see you for 2 months when you KNOW
they can squeeze people in. Cry if you have to baby but make him see
you!

If you think you are a leader - look behind you, if no one is there - you are just taking a walk.
