I had mentioned having a brain MRI scan today to monitor the success of this latest chemo; for those wanting to know how today’s scan went, you’ll need to ask someone who actually had a scan done today (that person was not me – big fat scheduling mixup – my appt date was changed for very good & legit reasons, someone finally noticed that this scheduled scan was too close to the last one (something I had noticed but assumed my team had decided was OK to cheat on (which we’ve done in the past). Lots of running to this clinic, then to this clinic with confused looks at each stop; followed by, “we don’t have you on the schedule today…”I could see things going downhill very fast
So, all legit stuff happening, but one fairly significant piece of the puzzle was left out of the communication loop. Of my dozens of clinic visits there this is the first time there’s been any kind of problem; I guess I was just due. Frustrating to have inconvenienced myself andmy rides, and to have taken the day off work (was ahalf day – anyway). But at the end of the day, I’m on the books for a repeat of all this buildup again in mid Dec – an appt which will be triple confirmed…
..lesson previously learned, but forgotten, take control of your own medical treatment plan, and don’t assume others are doing things right on their end; scrutinize, and double check everything…
I’ll have something more fun up here soon, but probably no health updates for awhile (though this week has been a frustrating one in that area, as I’ve experienced several bad seizures, and always have to expect more, although I am able to anticipate them up to a minute in advance….)
Thanks for your prayers & your concern -
