Spring

Spring brings with it pure sunshine and nourishing rain that will soon turn our neighborhood into a urban oasis. I look forward to the end of dull gray days that end as cold as they started. 

I am also looking forward to my last visit with a new doctor (at least new to me), in June. 

I still have an appointment with Dr. Eli Diamond at Memorial Sloan-Kettering (which will take 2-3 days) and Dr. Carsons at Winthrop University Hospital in June, but there seems to be an end in sight to the constant list of appointments. It's not so much that I mind going to the doctor it's just a lot of work to see a new doctor.

I look forward to someday soon settling into a predictable pattern of check ups with doctors who know me well. Where the hardest question to answer will be, "have there been any changes to your insurance?", or "how have you been feeling?"

Instead of, "we need you to get us the slides that were made of your ECD biopsies", or "could you bring a copy of all the labs you've had done in the last year?", or "we need your families medical history for the last five generations".

These last few visits will hopefully end my time of discovery and help me transition into an era of stability and stagnation (the best I believe I can hope for with ECD at this point). 

We shall see.
