Not too much to update other than I've been kind of tired this month. I blame it on what was to be the impending mis-interpreted, shamefully media-exploited, stupidly inaccurate dating (no leap year for the Mayan calendar... so 12/21/12 in Mayan days already passed us by), and just plain silly expectation that the world was going to end negative energy floating in the ether.
I'm trying to pick my gym visits back up and that has definitely helped. Fighting fatigue and working my way through a self-inflicted comedy of errors getting my paperwork sent to my disability provider for renewal has been the biggest story so far. Now I have the joy of wondering if there is going to be a snag being renewed and since the day I'm usually receive my check is during Christmas week, who knows if there will be any information etc. I guess I'll just have to wait to see if a check arrives.
Oh and I now am in possession of the 4th rejection for Gleevec. I'm not certain if my case manager is going to try to fight this, but I'm not holding my breath to get insurance approval. She seemed to really want to take this fight on, so we'll see. At least the rejection was friendlier in wording from Aetna/CVS than the nastygram from Blue Cross. A rejection letter with a heart... awwww (insert puppies here).
It looks like my next scan will be Feb. 25th, and I've been scheduled to meet with NP Roxanne rather than Dr Curti. Hopefully there won't be any new growth! I haven't seen her since my IL2 treatment so that should be nice.
Ki is doing well with residency, and has been given the highest praise from all of the departments where he's worked. I'm quite proud of what he's done, and am fiercely glad to have him as my partner. He took his last test for general medical licensing a week back, and it was great to see him for a few days. I'm looking forward to seeing him for Christmas too. He'll has the dubious honor of working on the 25th as he's the new guy in the Psych dept.
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and/or whichever all of the other holiday titles you celebrate. :)
