Last treatment for me

I agree with Deanna that it was handled very poorly
I am so sorry about your daughter's fall. It must still be painful for her, and you too. I am sure you would have gone elsewhere if you knew you could not get x-ray results until Monday afternoon. When your child hurts, you certainly hurt, too. Sometimes a fracture does not show up right away, but two weeks is a long time to wait for another x-ray. I am so sorry you and your family has had such a hard time with everything. I would complain to the clinic about the delay and how you were treated. I hope you got the PA's name, too. Hope they told you to give her some Ibuprofen and ice over the weekend and to keep the foot elevated. Hope you and Garth are doing better, too. I will say some extra prayers for you and your family. HUGS to all of you. Sorry I did not see this post last night.

you two !!
Thank you Deanna and Ro. You are both so supportive. Jo's foot is much better now. She is so very sore in the arms and wrists from the crutches! I let her stay home today. She will have a long few days starting tomorrow when we have to go out of town for Garths surgery and she will be 'farmed out' again. Deanna it is almost funny to have you mention the stress here lately. It started with a tornato putting a tree in my bed, then I got cancer, then our business burned down, now G is so sick..... oh well. I saw an article yesterday that said if we were to stand in a circle and all throw our troubles in the middle we would grab ours back... I think that is about right. As much as we dread the surgery on Thursday we have a good friend going to the same hospital at the same time for heart surgery. That would be much worse than G with his umbil. hernia and gall bladder. Our concern is that the surgery may trigger the pancreas again. ...........now back to the clinic episode. I thought of calling the director of nurses, but I know the administrator (sold him his house) so I called him. First he couldn't beleive that no one read the film. He said they have 2 back up plans in place. We should have had it read that day. Then when I told him about 'her' he assured me that he would call me in a day or two and let me know that this case was followed up on. ( I told him if any of my agents EVER acted like that the door would not hit them in the backside fast enough on their way OUT.!!) Maybe a bit candid, but it is the truth. The jury is still out on IF they bother to call back. The administrator was very gracious. He was just promoted to this job, so one would hope he will step up to the plate. Once again, thank you both for all of the great advise on the foot and the moral support. I can feel it in my heart how great you both are in your professions. Hope you are enjoying the prospect of SPRING!! God bless.

Special gentle hugs for (((((((Jo)))))))
I sprained my ankle really bad once when I was jogging, and I remember the doctor saying I would have been better off if it had broken because I did so much damage. (I was running and there was some long grass where someone had sythed the steep banks of their property by the road, with the long grass covering up a big pot-hole on the side of the road. My foot went right down in the hole as I was moving forward: OUCH!) Six months later that ankle would still swell up when I did any long-distance jogging. Poor little girl! Hugs to you and Garth, too, Peggy. You've had more grief lately than you deserve; that's for sure! ((((((Garth, Peggy, & Jo!))))))

no pain........
No pain ... no gain. Thank you Linda for all your hugs and concern. I laughed so hard today at a couple... extra special friends of ours. They are trying to adjust to retirment, both having had very busy careers. He came to the conclusion that the biggest pain he could be was in HER a**. If you knew this couple you would know how hard I had to laugh. I think retirement would be good, but hard to adjust to having so much togetherness. How are you feeling now after your 'refil'? You are so close to the big "done day." I quit at 5 sessions so when I was done I didn't know it until 2 weeks later. Even then it was quite a mix of feelings. Great to be done... but sort of afraid of our 'life lines' being gone too. It is 2 years this month since my chemo was done..........CRFB!!
