Well, rather than continue to hijack the Connecticut Huskies topic I'm back in here.

This morning was an insane run of figuring out my hospital stuff while doing an end run around the now non-licensed doctor... my primary care doctor has taken over for now until my new hematologist takes over at the beginning of May. Wow. The spell check on Firefox recognizes hematologist. I'm impressed...

Anyway, she writes out a thing to do a blood count, transfusion, type and cross (that they need to do before very transfusion - no wonder I'm running out of blood!) and tests for hepatitis b and C and HIV just to clear things from the old doc. Well, they tell me at the hospital that those last three won't get covered by my insurance without the letter from the Board of Health explaining why they need to do these tests so it's back to the house (20 miles) to get the letter and then back up to the hospital. They then needed something else from my primary care which she faxed up. took all morning.

The good news is I seem to be through the flip of doctors and do feel better at two weeks than I had. I consider this progress.

of course the Mets won yesterday so things are looking better....
