Why do I have to be one of those people that seem to have it altogether on the outside then physically get the effects of the stress in my life?  I have another abcess that needs treated by antibiotics, the last time I had one was days before our move and the doctor said if we werent moving that weekend she’d send me to a surgeon and have it cut out, and instead treated it w/ antibiotics.  This one is in the same place and again the doctor doesnt want to do cut it open becuase of it’s location saying it would be worse if they did cut it.   So a week of antibiotics and hopefully this wont affect the scheduled surgery in less than two weeks!   but I think it’s funny, ok, not funny, ironic that this happened now and at the last very stressful time of my life(when we were moving 500 miles w/ three kids!)   Fun times.

Dean thinks I’m going to meet the max on how much we have to spend out of pocket for our insurance again, we did a few years ago, I had so many medical expenses by June or something nutty that after that I didnt have to pay anything that I had met the out of pocket max and I no longer had co-pays for anything.  So while it’s not ideal, but it would be nice to not have co-pays when you go the doctor so often!

Next Monday I see my pcp for a pre-op and that afternoon Bo has speech therapy. Tuesday morning I have an appt at the hospital for other pre-op labwork.   Tuesday afternoon Bo and Zeke have ENT appointments.    Thursday I have my consult w/ the gyn for the hysterectomy.   Then that Monday is surgery # 1.

can you see why I might be stressed?  BUT I have been to curves twice this week and am going to go again in a few minutes.   Yay me!!
