Now I'm Annoyed

[robin]

Just got the call from the transplant coordinator and they are wanted to biopsy my liver on Monday. I vetoed that idea and used the rationale that I had been pressing to treat for months so I didn't see why they should get all in a tizzy because my LFT's are now increasing at a "concerning" rate. So, I will be seeing the doctor and will not be able to consider retreating until the biopsy results are done, after the first of the year.
To try to make peace in my head, I tell myself that I knew my liver was unhappy so I shouldn't concern myself but it really annoys me that today they want to change the pace and start getting aggressive. Why not three months ago, or six months ago when they initially said I could treat. Why not before my LFT's AND my clotting time AND my kidney function tests all became elevated and abnormal. WHY? I guess to annoy me. Bah Humbug
To add insult to injury, they also want me to have the biopsy in Little Rock. I'm fighting that one tooth and nail. Whatever gets done will now be done on my terms. Their opportunity is gone.
Keep you spirits high...robin

PS...sorry for being so assy about this, tis the holiday season, family comes tomorrow and we have the three smallest grands staying until Monday morning. Lots to be thankful for.

Robin,

You have that gratitude thing going on, and that's going to pay dividends.  Our friend Pete says it best when he says, "Accepting life on life's terms".

I hope you can into a peaceful place to look at these events, and let the answers reveal themselves.

Why not three months ago, or six months ago when they initially said I could treat.   

That's an easy one.  I can only assume they had already used up all their annoy Robin minutes for 2008 and needed to roll annoyance over to 2009.  Least that's the way I see it.......

Plus as an added bonus you get to get a biopsy, man oh man, the thrill, the rush, the pleasure, I dunno Robin, what more can you ask for? 

Merry Christmas.

That all is annoying, Robin.  How could they expect you to plan a biopsy a few days from Christmas?
I hope you can enjoy your family, and Christmas, and forget about it all for the next week or so.

Robin,

I dunno why "people in charge of your life" have to make things so complicated and...and...annoying!  When it's all over and you're safe from some angry nurse's needle, I hope you can chew somebody out.

Awwww...thank you all. It does seem that they are spreading my annoying minutes into 2009 but I get so easily annoyed, I have put get my minutes in a bulk plan. I appreciate you helping me see the humor in it all. MWAH...keep your spirits high...robin

Hey Robin,
How did the biopsy go?  Hope you were still able to enjoy Christmas.  Keeping you in my prayers.

Well...I asked that we not do the biopsy until after the first of the year so I don't even know when they are scheduling me. Felt like they got all in a hurry when I had been pressing for months. By the time they wanted to do something, I was quite comfortable with as they were so now I'm the one with sluggish feet. I'll let y'all know when they schedule me. keep your spirits high...robin

{{{{{Hey Robin!}}}}}

Just don't give them a peep show this time around.  That'll teach 'em!!!!! 

Love Ya...Hang Tight.....

Joyce...that is really kind of funny because when I was in ICU, I thought the camera they had to monitor patients from the nurses station was "showing" on YouTube. I threw a fit because the camera was aimed from the foot of my bed so I kept complaining that everytime they moved the cover...everyone on YouTube could see me. I was flashing for a "peep show", even then. LOL.  Keep your spirits high...robin
