Getting There

Today was a day of follow-up. Visit the surgeon to check my progress after the back to back biopsies. Get an ultrasound of my legs to make sure I don't have any blood clots. Chase down my pathology slides, which were going to the wrong hospital, get them to take to right hospital. A lady called me on my phone and asked if I was Sovereign Bank? the security guard at one hospital asked me if I was a biopsy? I think I'm still me. Tomorrow looks like a lighter day, just one visit to Fox Chase to deliver the slides. If their pathologist is OK with them and concurs on the diagnosis then we can get started on some treatment. Navigating through the medical system is not easy, you have to ask, ask and ask. No is not an acceptable answer. But be nice at the same time.

Ellen rode downtown with me to Temple to get the slides, then we went out to dinner, I even had a Guiness! High times! At least I have a good excuse to eat red meat - need the iron.
