I don't blame you for freaking out! Ugh, it drives me INSANE that doctor's offices make you WAIT after telling you something that makes you nervous like that. There's usually no reason for it, either. Grrr.

Take a deeeeep breath. Believe it or not, it could be nothing. I had the same bloodwork, and they scared the crap out of me with the first round, because they called and said I had "abnormalities". Of course I asked what that meant, and they said they didn't know. I had to go back and have the bloodwork done over again. The second round had the SAME abnormalities, but my doctor consulted with another doctor (which, by the way, is kind of a routine practice in group-practice settings) and decided it was "normal" for me and something to be monitored over the years, but nothing to worry about now.

See? So it could be nothing!!

I'm assuming you know what time the office closes. If they haven't called back by 1/2 hour before, I would call them. And if they say someone will call you back, say no, you're on the phone right now, and refuse to hang up until you talk to someone who can give you information. That's nuts that they didn't call, and there's no excuse for it!

*hugs!*
