Thanks…
Ok. I’ve just check my blog and my emails, and all I can say is wow…you guys are wonderful. Your messages of support, encouragement, well, EVERYTHING are just amazing. I would have never expected this last night when I was writing it all. LIke I said - I was writing it for me, not really thinking anyone would read it at the time. It just felt good writing it all down. And, wow. I feel so much more liberated today.
Unfortunately, finding different doctors isn’t always available to me - military insurance is pretty cut and dry. But, I did have to switch to a new nurse practitioner yesterday, and, although my last one was good, this one is great. On the ball. Getting things done. Setting up different referrals b/c she doesn’t think the originally referred doctors are compassionate enough. Man, gotta love that! You know, as a nurse, I have long said that my profession is full of people that are polar opposites. You have nurses that are there for the job, and those that are there that CARE. I consider myself the latter. I want my patients to know that I love my job. My theory is, “How would you want to be treated if you were lying in that bed?” Well, now I know.
So, anywho, I’m in a better mood today. Happier entries on the way. I mean, hey, my baby turns ONE tomorrow!!!!! Yikes! What a crazy week!
Happy birthday Emily!! I just knew we had a good deal in common: my oldest starts kindergarten next week, and my baby is one as of 7/30. (Okay, so I have one in the middle, too, but who’s counting??)

So sorry to hear about all your medical problems- I was thinking of you last week, remembering that Emily was turning 1 on 9/2. Then I got your email about this great site! What a nice way to stay in touch with everyone.
Emily is so cute, Gabe looks so grown up now…Colin turned 1 7/31 and is walking all over the place- He’s lots of fun. Meera starts pre-school in a few weeks.
Happy Birthday to Emily!!
Say hello to Gabe and Chris for us- we miss having you for our neighbors!
You are in my prayers-
Nancy
