Once again please excuse mass mailing, not enough time to write over and over.

First , I think she is getting better, and I decided unless she is obviously getting worse to let her deal with it. I didn't mention Nick before but he is sick too, coughing constantly and still working. I called my doc (his too) and asked for an antibiotic even though my doc hasn't seen him in a couple of years since Nick doesn't have medical insurance right now. Dr. Knapp called in some erythromycin. I hope he gets better as he is planning on going to Austin this weekend with Craig and (brother and sis-in-law) for the Livestrong 5K. Most of you know has cancer and is a spokesperson for the Livestrong foundation.

Ok back to me. The mole is off and I have 2 stitches that come out tomorrow. Saw the ENT and I have to have surgery on Oct. 23, I have a polyp or something, he tried taking out in the office but it hurt too bad. Strange he did not put me on any antibiotics. He did say IV would be better than orals. I will talk to Dr. Knapp about that tomorrow. The ENT did order the Ambry test for cf. So we will see. I got an ok on the authorization for the GI what fun. Hmm what else? still waiting for auth on the pain program. Saw the chemical dependency counselor and he was very nice. I am not sure if I need to do that but if my pain doc wants me to I will. Still waiting till Nov for repeat mammograms and ultrasound, and till Dec. for repeat PAP. I feel pretty yucky and I think I have bronchitis. I have been doing Xopenex w/ 's therapep and machine. Still waiting on my own neb machine and for the sleep apnea machine.

There's probably more but I can't think of it. I am going to Bible Study in a hour or so, it helps to stay busy. Those of the praying sort please do!

love, your sister in Christ,
