Let's not Skip Over Thanksgiving

  So every Friday before work, I've been going to the Dr's office for my ITP bloodwork. So far so good. I'm finally at the point where I am officially in remission. After this year, it's so scary to say that word. Like saying it will Jinx my body. 

On the health news front I've had an awful go of it with the hospital system and my bill. I got like a $54k bill because someone at the hospital didn't get drug authorization for the most expensive drug I take apparently. that's the entirety of the 54k. So my Dr's office says oh no you don't owe that bill, but the hospital says oh yes you owe that bill, and I've just been told to let the Dr's office handle it, which my amazing nurse is doing so, but the hospital itself was completely uncaring or unwilling to do any research into it or help me get answers. I spoke to 9 hospital people before I finally called my insurance to see what was up. It shouldn't be that hard. Especially for someone who literally took a month full of chemo drugs and a hospital stay. The just whatever attitude was just so awful. I couldn't imagine what dealing with that would be like when you didn't have an amazing Dr's office staff wiling to help. That's for you Atrium. You guys gotta get your shit together. Will it get worked out? My nurse seems to think so, and I'm trusting her 100%. 

This is the annual "Amy, you will send out Christmas cards this year" pep talk. Every year I buy them, I think about sending them, and yet I never do. This year I will. I'm going to have to buy stamps, I guess I can go USPS website and do that right?

I started getting some Christmas shopping done. Dr's office is done (listen - I'm there once a week, they kept me alive this year, those guys deserve a present) and some of the Besties and their families. I have no clue about Tom. I wanna get him one of the new xboxes but they're apparently hard to find so I'll continue to work. This apparently means we're getting an xbox one in my office, which will be great for me. 

My list for Christmas for me:

More Yoga Pants

2 new monitors

Tom to fix my blinker

New Pink office Chair

A massage. after the coronavirus

A maid. After the coronavirius.

I'm so weirded out about the vaccine for the Coronavirus. Am I going to take it? Hell yes. but everytime I have to take a drug I get all freaked out for days after that my ITP will come back. After this years struggle we shall see. 

I'm scheduled to get my IVC aka Rhianna taken out in January. I'm excited and scared about that too.
