lol! Yes, that could be done too! Brilliant idea!

And it just exploded my flu brain that bcs the eggs were put into my friends incubator that if all goes well, The chicks will be hatching on EASTER!!!!

Now I need to go figure out how that fits in with 2 church services,family Easter dinner and Easter egg hunt, and DH working!

That's why I waited and set my eggs on Tuesday. I knew I couldn't handle eggs hatching on Easter Sunday, too much going on.

I'm just beginning my long journey into CHF, @kyzerc Diagnosed on a Tuesday, and had testing scheduled for Friday of the next week to determine my EF, but then had a slight heart attack Friday, a week to the day before my testing was scheduled. I'm still in the very early stages here.

So, I've just decided I've been dealing with Doctor's offices too long

. I so wish I could "get better" and move on and not have this frustration!

Little rant, feel free to skip over this but I'll feel better venting......

I'm on this immune suppressant cyclosporine. It's a Big Deal, according to the folks at the University. When you're on it, you have your levels checked cause too much is a Bad Thing for your poor body, and too little means your new immune system will have free rein to kill you. So, up there I'd go in and get my level drawn in the morning, they'd run the test and call me that afternoon with my level and any dose changes. All tightly managed. So, down here I was tapering off until the graft vs host flared, then I was put back on therapeutic levels. Here, the office has to send the test out, they don't run it local. Okay, I can see that. It takes 2-3 days to get results. I can live with that. But last month, my level came back at 500+. Normal is right around 100. Did anyone call me? Nope. I called them eventually about something else and happened to ask. Then they asked the doctor and had me reduce my dose and recheck. Had a normal value. Then yesterday, I called cause I'd had it checked a week ago and no updates. Level is 63. Uhh, was anyone going to call me to increase my dose? "Well, you have an appointment with the doctor on Friday and he'll adjust your dose then". Seriously? Ten days after the level was drawn?

I'm just so, so tired of this frustration. I may ask the University team if my PCP can manage me from here on out instead of this local hematology office. I'm not sure what else to do to feel they're paying attention. I wish I could just get off this medication and get on with my life and not have all these doctors running my life.

And they wonder why my blood pressure has been so high

Okay, rant over.......

Reserved 5 Cornish Cross chicks for the 31st

. I should probably tell Honey about those. Or just lock the barn so he can't see the brooder......

Ugh. Sorry you are going through this. I was a transplant nurse for several years and know how important keeping therapeutic levels are.

Hope you can find someone to manage your labs.
