Missy -- I hope you're feeling better. Doctors can be so frustrating. I just had an ER visit with my husband a few weeks ago, in the middle of the night. They were very good though, and eased his pain, and made sure he followed up the next day to find out what was wrong.
I can't believe they want you to wait till next week! They ought to know how long a week is, to someone who is in pain!
I'm sure your work will understand. But you're right -- you'll probably need a note from the Dr. One of my biggest pet peeves, is when people call in sick, when they're not. It just makes it that much harder on those who really are sick. They are automatically suspicious, because so many take advantage of the system.
Feel better soon Missy! I'm glad your boyfriend is there to take care of you. I'll include you in my prayers.
