I did my thing and then we go over the list and get strategies to deal with the issues I am having and how to handle things. I also needed a note for an insurance company and she dictated the note to her transcription service while I was in the office with her and made sure all the right answers were given .....based on what the ins. co. had asked for. AMAZING right!!! never had that happen. She is my mean lean fighting machine. She is behind me 1000% and will go to bat for me for anything!!!

So my bloodwork came back and I basically have low reticulocites.....the cells tht make red blood cells so basically I am having a problem with the baby cellls that turn in to the cells your body needs...red white..etc.... I have low b12 and we may supplement but she thinks my increase of 5 oz of protein a day will get me the b12 I need. I want to try supplements she says helps only 5% of people who get it.....I;ll take that risk

Not a full visit going over all the work I had done since the last visit ( favourite food list, 20 meals as if on a rest. menu and how I can make myself a better person by using self development ) we had the note to do so it took up most of the visit!

will keep you updated!!


reading the last lecture by Randy Pausch.....dying of pancreatic cancer AMAZING read and AMAZING man!!! def. worth the read ...very quick and you will cry....this was a requst by my doctor to read. Also you can watch the u-tube the last lecture is about 70-80 mins long but get cozy on your heat and give it a watch you will also need tissues nearby!!

love and hugs to you all and thanks for reading my story! I just want to share what I am changing to see if what I am doing will help anybody else.
