My leukemia's back.

Oh Rachel, so darn happy to hear your fella is better and at home! (HUGS)

Phil, have you got yourself on the cancellation list?  They HAVE made the referral, haven't they?  And, have you been called to schedule an appointment, no matter how many decades into the future they are booking appointments?  I've had referrals get lost in the shuffle.  Sometimes what has gotten me in faster is I've called back PCP and asked to see an other specialist.  Then, I let the first specialist know that I'm on an other list.  They hustle to get me in right away then.  Oh yeah, I'm a bad patient.  

I have been called......I was put in the veterans choice program. Now I'm waiting for them to get me an appointment. And call back to let me know when. This program is supposed to get me in a local allergy clinic instead of going to Milwaukee......but I'm still waiting.

Rachel,

I've been away for a couple of days and concerned about your son the entire time. Good update.

Us healthcare folks make the worst patients, don't we?

I don't even tell folks I'm a nurse anymore. I wish my kiddos would quit ratting me out

. But they're proud, so it's okay I guess.

That prednisone has him feeling like King of the World today. We had a follow up with his PCP, who basically said he has no clue and will chase a diagnosis as long as we want, but we may never know. As long as it's not a blood clot and he's not gonna drop dead, I'm okay.

And why do I love my boy's PCP? Cause he has a sign in the exam room that says "I'll start being nicer when you start being smarter"

Talk about a man after my own heart!

I'm so glad I'm not going to be working anymore. I gave it a good try, but there's just so much stuff at home I need to take care of. And my brain function definitely isn't what it used to be. I found that sleep deprivation really messed my cognition up while he was in the hospital. So, better to be home, for now at least.

I'm going to go take a nap! My sister and niece are coming in late tonight and going to be here tomorrow and leave Friday am, so I need the rest.

And cause I can

You are absolutely right about us being horrible patients. Plus, after working in Quality for the last 10 years, I know absolutely everything that can go wrong and all the worst-case-scenarios that can happen.

So glad you made your decision to stop working for a while. Who knows what the future may bring, but for now, make sure you take time to enjoy it!

Glad your son is better.

So quiet around here! I can here the crickets sing. That's a good thing!
Meantime we have ...surprise! ... from my spring chicks we have a gorgeous bielefelder rooster and a lavender Orpington rooster and the rest are females!

So my trying to sex my chicks was not accurate for most but was accurate for the 2 males. But I'm not good at sexing the females! LOL.
got to go eat... getting a headache.
Glad to hear nothing major and that big boy is doing better.

Hi Blooie.....miss talking to you.
You feeling okay? You haven't mentioned your health lately.
I hope you are doing okay.
All of you guys are in my prayers.
