A friend suggested I "try the door" one more time about the specialist in Seattle (the one who's leaving, not Dr. AH). So, I called and said I know he's leaving, but he said the most important test is done at the lab--and could he order that, and I go over the results later with one of his colleagues? I explained my insurance situation, that we reached the Out of Pocket and that'll be good 'til the end of the year. So if I could have the test at the lab at the end of the year, I'd be sooooo grateful.
The manservant said he can't order the test himself, but he's very happy to ask the doctor to make an exception for me (they typically have you do the test, have the consult on the same day), and he'll let me know. Thanks S1, always a good idea to try the door (I tend to beat my head on it, but trying it gently is better). :)
So, we'll see. It's a rotten time of year to be sprinting for this kind of thing, but I didn't get the tip from E about the adrenal dysfunction 'til recently. And I've been busy not recovering from back surgery as well as busy recovering from laryngitis from hell. And doing Anna's school. And getting fatter exponentially has taken a lot of my attention. And, well, my dad just had surgery. And...well, you get the point! :) You know: life.
Hey, let me post a pretty picture for you. While this blog started as a combination journal/update vehicle for my friends while I did the hcg diet, it's rather turned into a log of my ongoing health journey. Is it depressing, do you think? Should I jazz it up with some happy stuff? I tried two blogs for awhile, one health related, and one hcg related, but that doesn't work for me. I'm a wholly integrated Sandra; I don't compartmentalize myself. It's not how I roll. ;)
Ok, so I'm going to post something happy. Because despite it all, I have joy. There's so much good in life, and I have people in my life I love.
