Good news is that the last set of blood related tests came back, all negative. Which means I don't have any new rare clot producing, plasma eating, or cell deforming disorders. I now have an appointment to see the chief of the immunology group at a local hospital. The appointments is not until late May and I will probably feel like going by then.
Tomorrow I have to check back in with my doctor and get approval to get back to work [There is one thing that he talked to me about that I will share with you all later. I just need some time to comprehend my options before opening it all up.]
After that I am going to see the Gastroenterologist who first found something wrong with me during a endoscopic ultrasound a year ago.
Ohhhh if I knew then what I know now!!! He is in for a surprise if he remembers me as a passive patient with just a few questions and even less knowledge.
One year later I am a passionate advocate for myself. One year later I ask hard questions that demand well reasoned answers. One year later I know for sure that he is there to see ME. There I go getting all worked up, you see last year I wasn't assertive and he didn't provide me the level of care I wanted. That will not happen this time.
My moment of zen today was this...
...just sitting on the floor (in my pj's) eating oatmeal from a mug. There is just something about the warmth from the mug and the sound the spoon makes as you eat from it that is very calming.
Have a calm night everyone, and may your day tomorrow be blessed!
