So, we went through all the rigmarole again. Who is this we? I went through all the rigmarole again. The treatment center was called. They decided my primary care physician needed to get insurance approval. However, the treatment center actually ordered the sonogram, so my regular doctor wanted them to get insurance approval. We went back and forth until my primary doctor decided she didn't want me waiting around for the insurance game and got the approval done. While we played the pass the insurance ball game, I met with my new oncologist. I think I'm going to like him. He's very experienced, and he seemed to care about getting the necessary tests done. Needless to say, another MRI has been scheduled. I'll be going in this Friday to sit in the giant magnetic tube.
I've decided not to worry unless I'm told there is something to worry about. However, I haven't been feeling well. Super tired and achy. My iron levels are super low and my white blood cell count is low again. So that could explain my ickiness. Or, perhaps, it's stress. You know, work, politics, tumors, taking care of finances and my home. In other words, life.
In order to keep a sunny disposition and a cheerful attitude, I have decided to create a happiness photo album. I'm not done with it yet, but I would love to share with you what I have created so far. You will notice that I don't have a picture of my doggie, Mary Jane, or my gorgeous grandson yet. I'm still working. It's a fun little project. If you ever find yourself in a tough spot, I highly recommend creating your own happiness photo album. Thinking about what makes you happy and having visuals of those things is incredibly cathartic.
