LOL ok next installment

Now where was I? The comp dr here finally did call back yesterday morning and we have an appt with another specialist down in Pittsburgh on Tuesday..nothing like short notice is there since we have to gather all his xrays, ct scans and mri's by then! Luckily we already were going to Pittsburgh that day for the VA dr appt in the afternoon so at least that saves us the gas for an extra trip! Small blessing at least :-)

Daughter dear's other half is also being sent to Pittsburgh get this ...one dr on Tuesday and one on Wednesday and her adult step daughter is in the hospital here for ear surgery here to clear up an infection that has been ongoing for months before they send her to Pittsburgh to a specialist. Sometimes I wonder why our local dr's cannot be just as qualified as those 2 hours away sigh. We are taking DD other half to his Weds appt but can't take him with us Tues as it's in a totally different area and at the same time as our appointments! Ever feel like you are going in circles? Come to my house lol we can show you!!!!!!

I stopped at the store this afternoon and didn't you know there was a lady at the table outside the one store collection donations for the Lupus foundation. We sat and chatted awhile since I have it and her daughter was dx'd 4 years ago we had alot to yak about. I sometimes forget there are others here that do have and really should look into their support system locally. I have been lucky with my online support groups and venting here helps relieve the stress that can trigger outbursts but am actually blessed that mine has been under control this long. They said about 10 years is the max for that and I am about at 8 now so kinda keep waiting for the other shoe to drop but knock on wood have been lucky so far.

Our Jackson will be turing 1 next week! It does not seem possible bless his wee heart! He is such a gem and a happy little guy!!!! I remember when they were all this age from our precious CJ who is now almost 16(where has the time gone)down thru Chrisser, and Ems to the next group of Liv and Cat and now miss wiggle butt and Jack! Each of them is priceless in this Nana's eyes and of course totally perfect lol. If it were not for them sometimes I really think I would have given up back when they first dx'd me but they keep me wanting to be around for a long time and to know they are grown and safe and happy. Grandchildren are the biggest blessings in life!!!!
