My leukemia's back.

I got some of my tests. The gal in admitting goofed, and sent me for the wrong test first. The contrast dye from the test she sent me to, interferes with the contrast from the other test. It takes 7 days for the contrast from that test to clean out of my system, so they can do the other test. Now, I have to go back next Friday, get stabbed for another IV, all because the gal in admitting didn't follow the schedule.

She was to notify the other dept. as well, so they could administer the contrast for the last test. It takes 3 hours for that contrast to work, so they were to notify them as soon as I got done with my first test, so they could infuse the contrast for the last test, and it would be ready by the time I finished with the rest of the tests. She didn't notify them, so I had to wait 3 hours. Every test I took, they kept apologizing, and they assured me they knew the name of the person that admitted me, screwed everything up, and that they would be dealt with. I don't doubt it, since it cost the hospital money.

I'm so sorry you had to go through all that!

Seems to me a discussion with the hospital administrator is in order and you (and your insurance company) shouldn't have to pay for the test next week. That is the LEAST they can do for their employee screwing up.

Yeah I can't imagine a cockroach embedded in your flesh!

grandpaB is not able to walk anymore.

So to make things easier we are moving him to a bigger house so my mom and dad can stay over more often to help out.

He seems happy to be moving but we'll see when the time comes if he feels that way.

I can tell he is not ready to go... He says he isn't going to die till summer.

But on a good note, he is still eating and drinking so, he's doing okay.
