One of the angels here asked how I am doing

I've been gone. On mental vacation. Or maybe I've been caught in a pool of swirling water. I don't know.
I get to talk to my not so favorite Doc on August 2oth. Maybe oh maybe he will start treatment then. Let's all hope its just pills and nothing more gruesome. NO to doing a bone scan on me.
I answered an ad for Medical Advocates. Holy Batman. Those folks actually listen to me. For an hour first a doctor then a sweet nurse. I'm not used to being heard.
I did it. I let go of my pride. I called the local bus folks so now Tuesday and Thursday I will be taken to the pool. No more excuses about how I am too tired to drive. The bus folks will get me there and back home.
Other news? We found another neighbor who is liked minded about spirituality. She lives about a mile from us- near the one that I have adopted, the one who supports me on this wacky medical journey. We had them both over at the same time for a piece of my simple cake and tea. Fun and loud hour!
May whoever reads this have a fun and loud hour of joy.

I am so glad you found some goodness in this medical mess. The medical advocates sound phenomenal. Please share more about that if you feel like it.

Sometimes, we all need a mental vacation. If it helped, it's more than worth it.
I am glad you contacted the Medical Advocates. They have helped us at times, too. They actually do listen! And glad to hear about you getting a ride to the pool and back. That's one less worry for you.
So glad you had some fun with your neighbors, complete with tea and cake. Can't beat that! So glad you shared with us...medical journeys can be OH, so tough to navigate. And don't get me started on the paperwork! You are a special lady and so loved!

@MarieCoyle Your situation sounds like it needs several advocates. I hope somebody lightens your load and helps both you and your son.

I am giving it all I've got and working with advocates, etc. as much as possible. As usual, and I know you are going through the same thing, one specialist feels another one needs to see him, and on and on that roller coaster goes...where it stops, no one knows! All I know is that we WILL get through this!

@MarieCoyle I may be tone deaf and yet I don't see how I don't start treatment on the 20th of this month. I just hope its something I can stand.

@Ineeddentures I don't know what else the Doc could have me do except some form of treatment.

Yes, I noticed you weren't around but I didn't want to bother you since you're busy. You know I'm always available to talk if you feel like it, right? 
I'm glad you're finding people close to you that you can enjoy.
