Goin' to the Rheumy

[Guest guest]

to the tune of " Goin' to the Chapel " .

I'm off work tomorrow and I have an appointment early tomorrow

morning. Hoping he takes me off the steroids now that the Arava is

working. Hopefully I'll find I don't need both. After that is the

eye doctor. Getting old sure aint for sissies. Next Friday I have

the all day neuro/psych test. I'm pretending I'm all cool about it,

but I'm scared deep down. I know something is definitely wrong, and

I'm not sure I really want to know what it is right now.

Now for the gripe -- made a special trip to the lab,(there's never

any parking), a week ago to give about a gallon of blood for tests

the Rheumy wants. They literally took about 10 tubes. Had a call

yesterday that they missed one, so I have to go all the way down

there again today, and my doctor won't have it by my visit tomorrow.

I mean really...they only do one thing there....how difficult can it

be?

We're having wonderful weather here in case anyone wants to come to

San Diego and sit on my back patio and have some iced tea.

Have a great weekend,

, hope you get good news during your visit.

It's a bummer with the test they missed. A similar thing happened to us

but this was for one of our sons. He was about 1.5 years old and we needed

to have some blood work. Well, they took the blood and we had to come in the

next day because the blood clotted. It's nobody's fault, it happens a lot

with children, but as much as he didn't know what it meant the first time

around, believe me, getting him there the second time was a big thing.

Thankfully, the test came back normal.
