  • Brief version

    I know!  When you think of me and the word "brief" they don't seem to go hand in hand, do they???!!!!

    I have to get ready to go see my NEW primary care physician, so I can be approved and cleared by "the insurance people"  to have my scans done at the hospital.  When I changed to a new PCP, I asked the insurance people if I needed to "re-establish myself" (patient/doctor relationship) with the new physician.  Remember that dirty clinic I went to and decided it wasn't safe with cancer to be in the building???

    "No, no, no!" they assured me.  "You are already established with us and an appointment with that new clinic won't be necessary."

    Something told me that was waaaay too easy; and, my "something" was right.  Fortunately, I have a spiral book in which I have kept copious notes and conversations of who said what.  It's all written down.  It's not me, this time.  They really DID tell me I didn't have to worry about anything!

    It's an odd feeling . . . going to the doctor when all you have to say is, "There is nothing wrong with me, but could you examine me anyway?"

    But, here we are this morning - all of us girls getting ready to go meet my new clinic people.

    My new scans at the hospital will probably be August 13th (a convenient day for Jesse to take me) and I think my visit to the surgeon is on August 18th.  JoAnn leaves on the 20th of August.  We're cramming in as much as we can before she leaves. 

    I had a bath last night, but I need time to dress so it doesn't leave me feeling weak or shaky.  I'm doing okay - as well as can be expected these few days after chemo. 

    This is as brief as it gets, folks!

    Be Blessed  ~
