Hello Sue! ~  It was a long week but it was very productive. My sister and I went with Mom to her annual appointment and wanted to address her ER visit at the end of last month, along with her getting older and slowing down. We were prepared to start filling out paperwork to change the direction of her life, but the Doctor wanted to wait on that. She felt that my Mom wasn't thinking clearly and felt she was experiencing depression. Doctor put her on a couple of medications to see if she will still feel the same way a month from now. I think that was a good call. My sister and I respect Mom's wishes (no major surgeries, chemo or radiation if diagnosed with something that calls for that). Afterwards, we went to Panera's and just enjoyed our time together.

I had several appointments myself this week. Mostly follow-ups, allergy injections, etc. I had a new doctor specialist appointment on Thursday and Mom went with me. I wasn't that impressed with this doctor and wasn't sure if he really was addressing my concerns or just trying to get me to have a procedure done. I did some investigating and follow-up and don't feel the procedure (upper GI) is warranted since I had one 3 years ago and it was normal. I saw my family doctor on Friday (same as Mom's) and she confirmed what I was thinking. I've also been trying to get a referral from her to go back and see the Rheumatologist because I think I'm getting Osteoarthritis in my finger joints. There has been a snafu there between their offices and I'm not sure if I'm going to get the referral. So, after discussing it, my doctor is changing out one of my medications and we are going to see if that will help.

There was just so much to do last week and a lot of running around and thinking about things. By the end of the day when I sat down to empty my GB, etc., I just didn't have the energy to do a lot of visiting or gifting. I did try to visit my close friends ;) and think I sent out a single gift but did not TT.  I tried to get GQ finished and know I missed a couple of days, but I'm back for this weekend and have nothing major on my calendar for this next week, so that will be nice and relaxing and I can settle into the game - finish the event and get ready for the next one probably next weekend.

This month seems to be going by so fast. I will probably start the next event and then I will need to focus on studying for this last test I need to take. It's an 8 hour self study on Long Term Care - I might look into selling this type of insurance, so I want to focus on it carefully.

I also had trouble posting a reply back to you and another friend on my wall here last Monday. I copied and pasted repeatedly but was unable to send. I finally just gave up. I used the quote feature for both of you and I'm not sure if that was what caused the problem. Anyway it was a celebration post letting you know that I received the results to my two tests early this last week and I passed both of them. Thank you so much for your prayers! I just need to get this last one done.

See you in the game this weekend friend! ~  Llyssa
