I wish I had some great outstanding news, like they found a pill for what ails me and I'm cured and am able to go back to work and I found a job doing something with computers and I make a million dollars a year and all is right with the world.
But I don't.
As for my health, nothing has changed, in fact I continue my continued downward slide, though for now it seems to be a bit slower and I have had some good days. Without insurance, it's become impossible to follow any leads with any new specialists or anything. However, my primary care did give us a suggestion. (Did I mention this before? I don't know.) He said we should check with the University hospital in Albuquerque and see if I can get into the residency program there. I would be seen by just about every student doctor that would want to look at me and they'll do new MRIs and spinal taps and all that stuff. The catch is, I can't just show up, I have to jump through all the red tape hoops and do it on their schedule. I might be a year or more before something happens. If then. But at least it's better than doing nothing, which is all we can do right now.
We are in the last few weeks of the school year. Mr. D. just left today at noon for his band trip. They are driving as far as Flagstaff today, the rest of the way to LA tomorrow. The band does their thing on Saturday morning, the rest of the day they get to run amok at Six Flags, then they drive back Sunday and Monday. Some stupid rule from the bus driver union doesn't let them have a second driver to be able to drive straight through (unless they FLEW the driver to the relief point and FLEW the other back - and then did the same on the homeward trip - really amazingly stupid.) But, then again, a bus full of high school boys and girls - he'll have the time of his life. Especially when he has a crush on more than one of the girls in the percussion section.
Now we get to concentrate on graduation. We haven't even gotten the invitations done yet! We did finally confirm that we can use the church for the party. It's a little inconvenient for the few that are coming from Bloomfield, but since most of the local folks we are inviting live in Farmington anyway - and most in the neighborhood of the church - it works out better all the way around.
The college girls are almost done with the semester. Most of the finals are this week and next. In fact, I think they are doing some right now. I'm looking forward to the summer break. I think they'll both be way less stressed.
I'd really like some chocolate chip cookies.
