So don't really know if she thought I was a different patient, but the antibiotic helped. I was able to start peeing again a few days later. Thank God. I went in for my two-week visit with her then. Already a little bit on edge because she acted like I was lying that there was no antibiotic mentioned in my paperwork.

But I went in by myself because my husband was working and I got on the bed in the office. My OB comes in, her happy self, and takes a look down there. You can't make this stuff up. And I have to laugh at it now, otherwise I just get angry. But she looked down and pops up and she's like, well, there's been a separation of church and state down here. That's what she said to me.

And those words stick out in my mind because it was just so nonchalant and to me insensitive because I'm in pain. I'm scared. I'm hurting. I don't know who's got my back and who doesn't because it seems like all these care providers are somehow just like skipping over important things. So when she said that, I thought, are you kidding me? That's what you're going to say to me after all this?

I had a second degree tear at delivery that she stitched. She's like, well, it looks like your stitch has failed. Your tear's open. That doesn't sound great. What are the implications of this thing? And so she told me that I would need to be put under to have it repaired.

And the anesthesia meant that I would need to pump and dump and that it would prolong my recovery time, which also didn't sound great. But then being put under didn't sound wonderful. I'd had it. I don't want to see another hospital or doctor. I don't want to at this point. I don't trust anybody. Why would I want to go under and have you operate on me when it seems like you've already failed me?

Everything would be fine. We're just going to fix it. I went home and I remember walking in my door and my husband and my mom were there and I didn't even say a word. I just collapsed into my husband's arms and started bawling my eyes out.

The thing that was so frustrating to me is that that visit was on a Friday because she claimed that she was going to get me on the schedule probably Friday at the earliest. So it was going to be another week or so. It might be a little bit longer, but I got to see if I can find us an operation room. I said that to my husband and my mom.
