BETTER NEWS TODAY

WENT TO MY PCP TODAY....GOT TO SEE MY NOTES, BOY HE DID AN AWESOME JOB WITH THEM.... I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE STAFF NOT BEING ABLE TO FAX THE PROPER PAPERWORK TO MY SURGEONS OFFICE... HE WAS NOT HAPPY AT ALL AND EXPLAINED TO ME THAT HE HAS JUST REPLACED ALL OF HIS OFFICE STAFF... WHICH I KNOW IS TRUE AS I WAS THERE LAST MONTH AND NONE OF THEM WERE THE SAME AS THE ONES I HAD SEEN TODAY.... THE NURSE CAME IN AFTER DOCTORS CONSULT... TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT IT WAS THAT I NEEDED SENT TO THE SURGEON AND APLOLOGIZED... EXPLAINED THAT THE PROPER PAPERWORK WOULD BE FAXED TODAY.... SHE WAS GATHERING THE PAPERWORK AS I WAS LEAVING TO FAX.... I WANTED TO TAKE IT WITH ME AND DROP IT OFF MYSELF AS MY SURGEON IS JUST ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY PCP.... BUT I HAVE THESE 3 LITTLE THINGS THAT JUST WOULD NOT BEHAVE TODAY.... SOME CALL THEM CHILDREN.... TODAY THEY WERE MONSTERS....AS I DONT DRIVE AS USE MY CELL PHONE... I PULLED OVER WITH AN AFTER THOUGHT TO CALL MY SURGEON'S OFFICE TO LET THE PERSON HELPING ME KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON... SHE WAS AT LUNCH... SO SHE RETURNED MY CALL AND HOPEFULLY SHE WILL GET ALL OF THIS INFORMATION... AND BE ABLE TO SUBMIT THIS WEEK FOR INSURANCE APPROVAL!!!! PRAYING HARD THAT THIS STEP GOES A LITTLE FASTER THAN ALL THE PREVIOUS ONES.... I HAVE BEEN ON THIS LONG ROAD FOR TWO YEARS... BUT AS MOTHER HAS ALWAYS TAUGHT ME.... PATIENCE.. AND EVERYTHING HAPPENS IN TIME AND FOR A REASON. I AM SO EXCITED NOW... OK AND NOW FOR THE EMBARASSING THINGS.... WITH ALL MY EXCITEMENT TODAY... I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY ROOM AND OUT OF MY BED WITH A LITTLE ENERGY AND I DID SOME HOUSEWORK.... IT WASN'T MUCH.. I SAT IN A CHAIR AS I DID THE DISHES.... AS I AM STILL NOT ALLOWED TO STAND ON MY ANKLE AS IT IS NOT HEALED YET... AND 400 POUNDS HURTS RATHER TREMENDOUSLY. THEN I TOPPED IT OFF WITH COOKING SUPPER FOR MY FAMILY... I GUESS KIND OF A CELEBRATORY SUPPER??? I ENJOYED BEING ABLE TO BE WITH MY CHILDREN AND MY HUSBAND DOING NORMAL FAMILY THINGS TODAY.... SOON THEY WILL HAVE ENOUGH OF ME LAUGHS. OR IS THAT LESS OF ME !!!!! GOD BLESS, LORI

Lori, Sorry you were having trouble with the medical records from your PCP. I just got back in town and prior to leaving was told by my PCP and GI specialist that they would both fax letters and records to Dr. Merriman. It has been kind of nice being away, it did not consume my every thought, like it usually does. Good luck.... JC
