How are you?

That is what I have been hearing all week since I have been back to work.

I made it through week one and stupid me thought I might be bored my week back.....HA...I guess bored and Annie Charette don't go together. Thanks for keeping me busy this week Annie!!!

Funny

Isn't it funny how upfront and trusting some people are with total strangers. I mean some parts of my life are secret..well at least I would only tell my special blog friends about it. I went to Lake Placid today (yes I drove myself...yayyy). I met a young girl in her early 20's that proceeded to tell me: she may be miscarrying, she is on her 2nd marriage,she is a grandma since her husband has children older than her, that this is her 3rd miscarriage etc etc....I swear she could not stop talking. I was just trying to read the recent tabloids about Jon and Kate and she just proceeded to keep talking. If I though that she was actually in need of company I would have obliged but I think she was in need of making someone go "WOW".

Its Final

I am set to return to work on Monday. I am not allowed to bowl until further notic which makes no sense to me. My daughter weighs over 30 lbs and the ball weighs like 12. But whatever!!

Being Patient

Well I still havent received my paperwork back from the MD....so worse case I will not be able to return to work as planned.

he called

Dr Selesnick did call yesterday afternoon. He said that I cannot bowl until further notice, I can go back to work on 6/15, and he wants to see me in 2 months. He also stated that the titanium in my head will not set off metal detectors and I can go into MRI machine.

So at least one more trip to NYC this year.......sigh.............

Waiting

I have never been a patient person but when you have no choice but to wait .....well....it still sucks. I am still waiting on the surgeon who missed last weeks appointment to call me back or email me.

On a different note--my sister and her kiddos are coming for a visit on Wed. Let the snow fly!!! (she is from Va and was wishing for no bugs when she came up---blame her for the snow)

My Day

So we left at 11:30 am for 2 appts in NYC. One was suppose to be at 2pm with Dr. Gutin and the other at 4:00pm with Dr. Selesnick. We barely made it in time for Dr. Gutin (21/2 hours for 1 hour drive). He saw me for 5 minutes and said that he is discharging me and that I should do all of my follow ups with Selesnick now. When I asked how and what they closed my skull with after the surgery he said probably titanium but that Selesnick did that so I should ask him. I also asked what was causing the sunburn type pain to my torso and again he guessed it could be nerve root pain.
After the appt with Dr. Gutin me and my hubby went to get a bite to eat. I checked my messages and there was one from Dr. Selesnicks nurse saying that he could not make appt today but I needed to continue on with audiologist anyway. WHAT??!! They forgot to tell me about 3rd appt for the day. SO we had to sit around till 4:30pm until that one. And guess what......she told me I am deaf in right ear...NO REALLY!!!!

So I guess Dr. Selesnick will call within the next few days. I still do not have return to work date, disability paperwork signed or answers to my questions. SO we drove over 6 hours to say goodbye to neurosurgeon and to have another hearing test that could have been done at home.

At least they have good shopping down here!!!
