The Medical Tap Dance

We only had one appointment today and a trip to Shawnee to
pick up Ted's medicine. My insurance company made me an
appointment to get my eyes checked for glaucoma. I liked
the doctor and he was so complimentary about the opthomologist
that had done my cataract surgery. He said she did a perfect job with perfect results.
It had been five years since I
had my eyes checked and it was an utter waste of time.

We stopped in Shawnee to eat lunch at Abuletos. I had chili
rellinos with sour cream sauce and they were wonderfully
spicy and good.

Yesterday, Ted had 4 appointments from 7:45 until 2:30.
We could just barely make it to the next one since one was
far northwest and the others in mid town. We managed to
grab a cinnamon roll and coffee at lunch time It was an
extremely tiring day.

I am starting to think of thanksgiving and figuring out what
to cook for our family reunion. I made two pecan pies and
froze them and I may try a pumpkin roll. I am baking a ham
and a turkey breast. My sister is doing turkey and stuffing. Our children are bringing side dishes. Linda
and her family are not coming because Sara's husband is not
up to it. He is recovering from very painful surgery on his
neck.

So much cooking for Thanksgiving! Does anyone else do the clean up since you cooked?

No, but I have served notice that the good times require cleaning up.

So many appointments in one day is a lot to deal with. I have not thought about thanksgiving yet.

I have to shop today.

Sending you a ((( HUG ))), Jeri, and prayers for Ted and all you family. I so understand, after three long years supporting my ill sister-in-law and my dear brother. Sadly, stage 4 ovarian cancer claimed our precious Sylvia last Saturday. I'm off to the funeral and memorial services. Please send prayers for us. Thank you for your caring words throughout Sylvia's illness.

Thanks Marta. I will be thinking of you throughout your ordeal. Hugs Jeri

It's stressful and draining and the trudging around is the least of it -- it's the worry. Keep your spirits up, and, ya know, one day at a time.

Yes, it is. Today Ellie and Bobby are both sick. I am hoping not to
catch the virus. Thanksgiving is almost upon us.

guess we'll be having our traditional Thanksgiving at brother Bubba's. My niece's in-laws are slated to attend. They are lovely people but a little wacky.

Wacky people kind of liven things up. I am looking forward to my niece in
law and her theory that FEMA is going to put us all in camps and imprison
us. At least it is different and funny.

So many appointments! Hope it all works out for the best in the end. My SIL has taken over my MILs appointment schedule while she's here, so I guess I'm out of a job, at least for now. OK by me. It can get kind of crazy trying to fit everything in. And I'm not even trying to make pecan pies!
comment by maggiemae on Nov 14, 2012 7:06 PM ()
I do too. Until two years ago, we had the perfect life. We could travel
and have fun and all the family was healthy. Then we started down the
trail of sickness and pain. I am grateful to be healthy and able to cope.

It'd be nice to get Ted all straightened out at some point. Seems like his problems never end, but I know you've got some hope that all this will be worth the time and effort to get him to all these doctors.
comment by troutbend on Nov 14, 2012 6:44 PM ()
We have certainly been through a lot of doctors. Several of them have
been outstanding. The worst has been the severe pain that Ted has. I
know I could not take it with the grace that he has shown.

I'll call Sue again in a couple of days. I hope people will call her and try to cheer her up, I'm worried about her the way she talked
comment by larryb on Nov 14, 2012 6:13 PM ()
I will give her a call. She is so independent but she has to go home with
Zee until she can walk.
