I Forgot About My Blog! Nice.

    Keeping up with my health is a full-time job.

    I'll go back to catch myself up. I had to get my book and it's been filled with a ton different things. I went to meet with a new Social Security Lawyer. Who knows what they really do until you are denied 2 times and go to court. But at least they didn't feel that I didn't have a chance. The next day I had an appointment with my nutritionist. I missed it. I don't even know what I was doing or why. I felt bad, that's so unlike me to miss an appointment. Especially when it's written down. I had a bunch of bad days. It seems like ever since I went to Dr. M. the pain has been practically non-stop. I'm not blaming I'm mearly pointing something out.

    So after missing the appointment last week, I rescheduled. And missed it again on Monday. I don't understand, I just don't. What is going on with me? I woke up Tuesday and made the decision that I was going to go and get my LV Drivers Licence. While I was there I decided to get my plates too. I got there and was preparing to spend awhile. I wasn't feeling too bad so it was a good time to get this done. I walked through the maze to get my number and as soon as I walked over to sit down they called my number. That went too quick. Got my plates and then when it came to my licence that didn't go so well. It seems since I lived in LV before, but under a different name I had to go home and get a few documents. My birth certificate, my divorce decree, my marriage licence to J and my new ss card. Thank goodness we file everything nicely. After I got home I decided that I would just go and get J's car so that I could get his plates too. But it seem to not go so quickly. It started pouring rain and the DMV was packed. Ugghh! After 2 hours I was done, and very happy. I was starting to feel bad. Well after 4 months that's done. Check!

    On Wednesday I had an appointment with Dr. B.. I still wonder what he exactly does besides allow me to sit on his comfy couch and act like he cares. But he's not mean so I have to do what I have to do. Thursday came and I had 2 appointments. The first one was with Dr. L. (Endocrinologist). We talked and he thinks that I should stay at the dose of thyroid medication. I can't really remember what he said about the thyroid ultrasound he did, but whatever it was I don't have to go back until 6 months. While we were talking and I told him about all of the neurologists I have been through. He said he understood and he's been told that he was a jerk too. But he feels like he trys to show compassion. He said that this isn't a problem (my problem) that is going to be solved in Henderson, NV. This is a Mayo issue. He said that I should try the Mayo Clinic in Rochester or a clinic in Arizona called the Barrow. Hummm I'll have to check that out. The next appointment I was tried, I showed up early and had all of the papers filled out before. I was called back a few minutes before my appointment. This was with Dr. B (Pain Management), 1st impressions weren't the best. After 45 minutes of sitting in the room I had to go, I was going to be late getting M from school. I was panicking. They didn't seem to care. I was in so much pain, but M comes 1st.

    I found the Barrow Neurological Institute online. They were ranked one of the Top 10 by the Business and News Magazine. I called and got ahold of one of the doctors offices, he is very knowledgeable about TN. J and I are going to be getting all of my records together in a nice portofilios' to send out to numerous doctors for review. Then we will decide after hearing back if they can help or not. Next week I have the rescheduled appointment with the pain specialist and another neurologist "Top doc on NV". I hope to find a plan to rearrange my meds and get a referral for an updated MRI to send out with my packages.

    Friday came around and I had another appointment with my nutritionist. I apologized to her, told her that I didn't even have an excuse to missing the prior appointments. She said that it was ok, I have alot on my plate and if I need to reschedule the next one it was fine.

    Our little kitty, Sophie is doing great. She is about 1 pound now and able to eat on her own more. But she's going to be a spoiled cat with all of the attention she gets. B's 17th birthday is next Thursday and it's seems as if time goes along whether you are sick or not.
