One Step at a Time

Today I got to experience Kirklin Clinic for the first time. While it is very efficient, it was very confusing. First I went to hematology/oncology. They informed me that I was not in the system and needed to go to Infusion Therapy. From there I was put on hold because I was not in the system, thank goodness I had my little RX form from the hospital saying I was in fact supposed to be there. Eventually they sent to me a lab down the hall to get my blood drawn. At that point the nurses said i could go home, but the doctor in the hospital had specifically said wait. So I went back into the waiting room. An hour later the doctors nurse came out and went through all my levels, gave me appt cards for the next two weeks and some much needed info on TTP, blood levels and prednisone. All in all I was there for about three hours. Hopefully it won't take as long on Wednesday.

I'm starting the MBA program at UAB today. I'm taking one class a semester because I didn't want to over do it with class and a full time job. This semester I'm taking Strategic Marketing Concepts. The book so far has been interesting and I think I'll be able to get a lot out of the class that I can put back into my current position. The challenge today will be making it through the entire class. The smallest things are taking a lot of effort I'm finding. I went to see a movie yesterday, Inglourious Bastards, (if you like Terrintino films this is a must see!!! Mom - not for you) and even though that was just sitting I was wiped out after the movie and passed on dinner with my friends. One step at a time though.

Tomorrow I might take on the task of cleaning my house or pulling weeds in the garden. At least its nice weather for it.
