Decisions

Today I decided to take my health into my own hands. I'm tired of living at Hotel Dieu Hospital and Kingston General Hospital. In the last 2 weeks I was at more appointments than I was at home. I'm sick and tired of it. I'm not talking about my cancer appointments, I know those are mandatory. I'm talking about my eye injection. I didn't know I had an eye problem until I went to get new glasses. So I've had 5 appointments total, 3 of them injections into my eye. I can see letters on the screen now. They still want me to come back for more injections. I've chosen not to.


The other appointments were in regards to the injury to my knee/leg at Disney in February. I FINALLY got in for an ultrasound, 6 weeks post accident. The ultrasound showed no damage that the doc could see. He could send me for an MRI if I wanted. I declined  I can walk on it and the residual pain is managed by my Oxycontin and morphine.



So I signed up with volunteer drivers of KGH to take me to my oncology appointments since my husband just started his new job today building solar panels. Yay!!!


Well my friends and family, the snow is slowly melting, the temperatures are beginning to stay above 0C for the most part and hopefully the sun and green grass, flowers and singing birds will be within our grasp soon.
