Babies

Today my family is celebrating the addition of twins.
My brother Chris, and sister-in-law, Lyndsey, gave birth to two beautiful babies.
The first born was Halle Mkayla, followed 7 minutes later by her brother, Hudson Michael.
Their original due date was November 4, so they are a little early. But, all are healthy and doing fine.


I will post some pictures as soon as I get them to download. Grumble, grumble, grumble. Oh, Bruce...

Thanks Bruce

The Package is in motion

Yesterday I went to the doctor and had my blood pressure checked. 120/80, perfect. Doctor said that I can stay on the phentermine. He wants to see me back for a recheck next month. As long as I keep getting good blood pressure checks, I can stay on the meds.

How many times have you been to the doctors office and they didn't weigh you? Any other time this would have been my most dreaded part of the visit. Yesterday I weighed in and lost 12 1/2 pounds. WOO HOO!! The doctor was very pleased.

I also picked up my medical history packet and letter of medical necessity. Today, I get to courie them to the weightloss center. The center will then add to the packet anything else that the insurance company needs and mail it. The insurance company should have it by the middle of next week. Then starts the long wait.

OY! Men are so stubborn

I am sorry, but I have to vent.

This morning I was headed to the Doctors office to have my blood pressure checked. One of the possible side effects of the phentermine is high blood pressure. I have to have mine checked every month as long as I am on it.

As I was leaving Bruce stuck his head out the door and asked if I would ask the doctor to re-write orders for a blood test. You see, about 4 months ago Bruce went to the doctor and ask if he would write orders to have a blood draw done. Bruce keeps an eye out on his PSA levels. It has to do with the prostate. High PSA could mean a problem with the prostate (ie. cancer). Bruce's dad has already been treated for prostate cancer. Any way.

I would gladly ask the doctor to re-write his orders except I already did once. They have been sitting around the house for almost 2 months. (6 days short of 2 months) So, instead I said that ON HIS WAY across town, to his co-workers house, he could stop in and have his blood drawn. It should only take a few min. It was 10:00 in the morning. They shouldn't be too busy. He told me he wouldn't have time. I found the paper and gave them to him any way hoping that he would find the time.

When I got home, Bruce was gone but the orders were sitting on the counter.

Good grief!! How long does it take? His co-worker wasn't going to be ready to meet with him until 10:00 or so anyway. We are talking about a blood test. One stick, a couple of vials. Done.

I hope his clients appreciate that he puts his work (their databases) before his health.

Ok, so that sounded a little dramatic. I hate it when my common sense won't be quiet. You know:

-asked for orders (4 months, or so, ago)
-on the way
-won't take long
-good for health, live longer, be around for family
BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, I'm done :-)

PS. I love you honey.
