Entry: Swiss Cheese... Tuesday, April 12, 2005



Swiss Cheese... it's what my brain is made of.  I don't think I have lesions.. I think I have HOLES!

I got up early this morning for an appointment with a new doctor that will be taking care of my pump.  For the last 2 weeks, I *knew* it was for today....

MS Strikes again. 

My appointment wasn't for TUESDAY, April 11th at 9:30.. it was for MONDAY, April 11th at 9:30.  ARRRGGHH!

Now I have to wait until 8:00 so I can call the office and tell them how sorry I am, and *BEG* for another appointment this week for the consultation.  My pump alarm date is the 18th.. which is next MONDAY.  Hmmm, maybe I should get my paper out and double check *that* little bit of info!  (Note: I just checked and yes, it *is* indeed the 18th!) :)

I really *hate* when I do things like this.  But life goes on and I'll get it fixed.

On another note, I talked to my Aunt Jane last night and she sounds so weak.  She is 75 (or 77.. not for sure which), and has cancer in one of her kidneys.  They are taking it out on the 28th.  I'm trying to get a family get together going for the 23rd here at my house. (Aunt Sue, if you are reading this... email me) :)  My Uncle (her husband) has lung cancer so it's been a really hard year for the 2 of them.. and for everyone that loves them.

So I thought it would perk her up a bit to have all her sisters and her brother together at once for a pot luck dinner "down here on the farm"... she loves to come out here and it's been a LONG time since I've had all the family in here to my house.

Well, gotta go finish getting Tyler's breakfast ready, he should be out of the shower any minute now, and get him off to school.

Hopefully, I'll get another appointment this week with the new doctor! Wish me luck! :)

Ever hear of that show called 'Quantum Leap'? The swiss cheese analogy works. As for your family, my sincerest sympathies. It's difficult when the people you love become frail in their advanced age. I hope your plans work and everyone has a great time.
