February 1st
I had a little chat with the administrator today, made her aware of what happened, my unhappiness and got her assurance that it would be taken care of. They took another blood sample for the thyroid tests which they did find orders for after they found the miss-filed instructions. The Lasix issue has been resolved also, PRN not daily.

I saw mom again yesterday and she was fine, it was bath day and she had had hers. We played a game of bingo with the other residents and talked about her graduation from college and other things. It was a really nice time for us. The staff were very attentive to us, SMILE.

I had such a good time last night. My friend Betty, her son and daughter and I went to play bingo at a local bingo parlor. I had only done this once before, years ago, but didn't really have fun, this time we did though. None of us bingoed but it was great trying, I think we are going to go angain in a few weeks, maybe with better luck. I have graad-daughters staying tonight, tomorrow after I get them to school I am going to see mom. I talked with her on the phone today and she seemed just fine, even knew who she was talking to.

I have been so nervous and worried about today that I just didn't feel like updating and sharing all that. I did og to the doctors today and got a good bill of health. Dr. Aks, my oncologist didn't hear or feel anything abnormal and feels I am just fine but she is doing Thoratic and Abdominal CTScans to make sure, Dr. Kim, my radiologists said I don't have to come back to him unless it is warranted! All in all it they were great appointments but I wish they would of had me do the scnas before today, it will feel real when those results come in. On an even greater note I have wonderful news, Robert and Crystal are expecting!!! After 5 years of being together the did it, the baby at this time is due on 9/9 but she is having her 1st pre-natal appointment 3/10 to make sure. We had a fun Valentines day and I had a wonderful birthday. Mom is here for the night and family and friends came for dinner etc. I had a lot to celebrate, good news from the doctors, a new baby and another year. All my worrying was for naught.

I am so sorry for not updating sooner. I have been helping a friend move and been sick, seems I get sick pretty easy now days and just haven’t felt like doing much of anything. I am still dealing with a cold but feeling better. I got the results back from my mammography and it was CLEAR. Mom is doing fine. I haven’t to see her since last week but I have been calling her and talking with her on the phone, she knows it’s me too, although she thinks I am living in California and wonders when I will be up for a visit. The nurses said she was very depressed after her last home visit, lasting several days. I knew she was and this is partly why I haven’t been to see her. How does one get over that. She loves coming home for visits and I love her being here but it is so hard on her when she goes back.
