,

yes i agree that he likes to be in power. i was thinking that he

should be a professor, because he is very smart, and then he won't

have to deal with patients!! yay!! haha. and what normally happens

every two weeks, is that i go to the evansville office, and i don't

even have to sign in ( b/c they all know me ) lol. and then i wait,

usually not more than 20 minutes. But i call when i'm on my way, so

they can start mixing the medicine, b/c it takes a long time. Then,

when i go back to the room, they check my bp, temp., and ask if i'm

on any new meds. sometimes i do a breathing test, but not always.

They ask me if i am having any symptoms. then, if it is dr. guin, he

usually sticks his head in to say hi or something. but when it is dr.

s.... well, i don't even see him. lol. then after i get my 3

injections (( and have tons of band aids b/c i bleed like crazy ))

lol, i get to pick if i stay in the room, or out in the lobby. Then i

wait for 30 minutes and then i am free to leave!! haha.

Are you gonna start taking xolair, or do you? i know you have said

this before, but i am not exactly sure. lol
