  • the saga continues...or begins again

    Had four doctors appointments today, plus grocery shopping, and Walmart.


    Color me DEAD.


    I'm also still quite sick, but had to drag myself through it as the appointments had been scheduled for awhile, and couldn't be put off anymore.


    Rainee and Jer are now current on the immunizations.  Kaylin's bloodwork is up to date--her eyes are steadily getting worse, and will eventually need glasses.  And Zeria's got my cold, and was wheezing at the doctors office--which I hadn't realized.  I did know she was sick, but she was *really* sick.  And is worse now, she's just miserable.  So she's getting a second asthma med for awhile to try to kick it in the butt-I swear we are allergic to this modular.


    Rainee;  Wanta here the saga??


    Remember January when I found out about the endoscopy/G.I. stuff that needed to be done.  The list grows long.   I've been arranging to get that done this summer, as originally planned--nurse was supposed to call me back, and hasn't so I have to follow through on that tomorrow.  Dr. W. also was extremely concerned about Rainee's apnea issues.  And is strongly pushing the pulmo appointment I've been putting off.  He did a good job of scaring me...and believes they will want to do a cardeologist appointment as well...and a third sleep study, and either bi-pap or oxygen when there done with that, if things are as bad as I suspect.,


    This is the short term adds up to three trips to Seattle at $200 a pop (gas, motel, meals, etc.)  Its the cheapest I can do it for..and that is cutting corners.  So, a minimum of $600 just to do the doctor trips, never mind the meds, etc that will probably get added   And oh man the oxygen, if we have to start doing that.. *ugh*  it was $400 a month.


    As a result, Rob and I immediately regrouped, and there will be no trip to the 'ils this summer.  He just got done telling his mom.   He will take his two weeks off, and we *might* go over to Lake Chelan--which is not too far from where my sisters moving to in a week, for awhile.  Or we may just make it special here.  Vacation is just not in the cards this year...


    Rainee is.


    I guess the reprive is over.  I'm in the denial stage at the moment.
