Here's another update.
The urologist called back, somewhere along the line he thought my husband and I were dual military and when I told him my husband was leaving soon (to go to WA for the summer to stay with family-which I mentioned a million times to him) he though my husband was leaving soon to Iraq. So he said he didn't understand the urgency of needing it done soon and that just because mark was going on vacation, isn't justification for him to rush at the last minute (mind you this procedure has been scheduled for 2 months and I have requested the time off work-very difficult to get-since the day we knew it was scheduled). I told him the main reason why we need to do it so soon is that mark has been off all of his supplements and his CF med; nebulized colistin for 5 months now because wthat's what was fluctuating his testosterone, fsh and LH levels. The doctor told us his levels (testosterone, FSH, LH) needed to be normal for 90 days to ensure good, healthy and fully grown sperm. I explained to him that this month was 100 days and that's why it was scheduled for this month, not because of the vacation but because of his need to get back on his medication. He said he was going to think about it but didn't think he could help out now that the circumstances have changed.
I know it sounds ungrateful but part of me just wants to say, "forget about it, nevermind, we can't do it now so please just cancel us for everything" because in a peroid of 1 week we have gone from being scheduled/locked in/good to go, being told insurance would pay, having to switch facilities, having to switch back, being told insurance wouldn't pay for it, calling to cancel our appointment, being told the doc needs to talk to us before we cancel, having the doc offer to cut the fee in 1/2, having the doctor renig on his offer... which is where we are today. I have probably had the widest range of emotions this week than I ever have before in my entire life. I jsut don't know what to do at this point.
Again I am just venting so thanks for listening.
