Do I really want to do this?

The calendar says it is August 5 and I believe to be Thursday.

I have had 4 incredible difficult and challenging days. I pray that this is the beginning of some better days. I will not bore you with the details but I was a big baby, not very pleasant and became a challenge to all who had to deal with me. I am so ashamed but still very angry about all of this. The best part was that they gave me plenty of anxiety meds and they just knocked me out.

The doc's have been trying to get University of Pittsburgh to contact them so I can have a chance to get there. But no response from them in a week. Everyone is getting very anxious because they want to do a hospital to hospital transfer. If they don't respond soon I will be forced to go to Kaiser and wait there until someone decides what to do with me. It is very confusing because our coordinator at Kaiser says it is Mayo' job to take care of the transfer, but that does not sound right, after all Kaiser is the one who is going to be paying the bills right? Needless to say we don't have much confidence in Kaiser at the moment.

We are getting ready to send poor Buddy back to my mom. He is not very happy or comfortable when I am not there. When I finally get to come home he acts angry. I thank PJ because he has become very attached to her and she is home a great deal. Besides PJ will be leaving next week as well. There is no reason to have another caregiver when I am just gonna be in the hospitable.

I hope to have some better and more entertaining news for my next post. Gotta go shower and get ready for support group.

Mark, I have written you 3 times and had the wrong address but I will try again today. So Sorry.


Love to all,
steph & steve
