Oh my




My hemoglobin  was not going up as fast as everyone wanted. I was told I needed to have a colonoscopy and an endoscopy I had to have it scheduled and to make sure I had a ride home. I also had to take a day off school. 

To get someone to be able to take me home was a challenge. When all your friends work, you need to get creative. I talked to my navigator. We talked about all the different possibilities.  The one person had said, get someone to take a day off. Well, with all the sickness going around, I was reluctant to ask someone to just take a day off for a five minute drive.  Especially a teacher. Do you how long it takes to prepare for a sub. It was decided that we could schedule one late so I could get picked up after school got out. That seemed like a good way to handle it. 



So I called to schedule it. Apparently something got mixed up. When I got the information in the mail, I was only scheduled for an endoscopy, not both. I was not going in for one, then having to wait and go in for the other. So I had to call and reschedule. Which meant having to get a different day. The one lady didn't seem to understand why I wanted a late appointment. She kept wanting to give me an early appointment. I was told I couldn't wait in the lobby after my procedure, so I needed the late appointment. I finally got it. It was quite the production to get it all figured out.

Meanwhile at school there was a lot going on. My one school had just started doing video morning announcements. My other school had been doing video morning announcements for a while.  I'm the one who is in charge of the videoing and editing. I have found I love this!! I have found a love and a talent for video making and editing. Not what I had expected or even thought about. It is truly amazing the opportunities that God puts in your lap. He knew I needed a new adventure and learning opportunity. God is Good!

I have only a couple of last maintenance treatments left. It is hard to believe that. It seemed like a lot when I started. It is amazing how blessed I have been to go through all my treatments and been able to go back to work. Now I am looking forward to what I can do.
