children's hospital went okay today. we got some answers, yet still need a nuc med test next week. turns out miss bailey has hyperthyroidism and a "diffuse toxic goiter", and the doc said something about it being "lumpy" (yes, this is actually the phrase he used) and not being totally comfortable with that.
unfortunately, children's couldn't get us in today as there are diet requirements and it's a two day study, so we decided to schedule in lincoln. scheduler tracy got us all squared away and was giving us our pre-scan instructions. miss bailey has to have another pregnancy test (we find this uproariously funny, and mildly annoying). when they got to the prep, they of course told her no gum or irritants, to which bailey mumbles "Well i guess i won't have a cigarette for breakfast that morning". the scheduler laughed and said, "yeah and you'd better skip that beer before you go too."
i love people with a good sense of humor. i mean come on...working at children's can not be a particularly happy job. i'm sure it's rewarding, but a good chuckle has got to make it less depressing to be around all those poor sugars and their health problems. hooray scheduler tracy! and to my daughter for being a total smartass!
they have the BEST people at Children's. I called yesterday to pay some of Caba's bills (isn't that sad...just some?). Background info: Brian switched jobs on 1/31...so we had ins. and HSA through previous employer. They assured us we could continue to use the $$ on expenses incurred between 1/1 and 1/31 - what they failed to tell us is that they canceled the card associated with the acct! Poor Terri in billing at Children's laughed so hard she was going to fall off her chair. "Oh, honey, don't worry about it...submit whatever reams of paper they will now require, and pay us when you get the $$ out of the acct. I'll make a note in your file." Suppose they have a flag on my acct? 4 asthmatics, 1 ADHD, 1 Chiari malformation, 1 chronic coup & 1 laryngomalacia.....HUGE PROFIT generator - don't piss her off!" :) (did I miss any conditions?)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I fully expected to see your family name on at least ONE of the rooms. What gives with that? :)
