TODAY is the one year anniversary of opening my State Farm Agency! I have such a great team and amazing clients, Im truly blessed!
Anesthesiologist Appointment
Yesterday, I got a call from my anesthesiologist's office. They called to schedule a phone appointment with me for next Friday. The anesthesiologist wants to go over all the rules, and answer any questions I may have on the Friday before my surgery. I can't believe how fast the time is flying by!
Last MRI
Yesterday morning I woke up with a mission... I was going to get my last MRI yesterday!! I wanted to make sure that my Radiation doctor has everything he needs for today's appointment (As I type we are driving to San Fran). I called different imaging centers and found one that had an availability in the afternoon. She just needed the referral from Dr. O'Donnell's office in order to book the appointment.
I called Dr. O'Donnell's office and talked with Regina, she was more than happy to send it over!
Once the Imaging Center received my referral, they called to officially schedule the appointment. By the afternoon, the earliest they could fit me in was at 6pm. The appointment lasted 2 hours!! My Mom and I didn't leave until 8pm. The reason for the long appointment is because when the tech was attempting to administer the contrast fluid... she kept missing my vein. I have never had this happen before!! On the 7th poke, they got it!!!!! Im all bruised on both of my arm joints today. Oh well, small price to pay in order to have everything done before my Radiation appointment today!
They gave me this rose when I left to apologize for all of the attempts...
Meals
My good friend Jamie set-up a meal calendar online. She wanted to make sure that after my surgery, that we won't have to worry about cooking food - how thoughtful!! At first I wasn't a big fan but, she told me that people want to help! She reminded me that I won't be walking for 6 weeks and Nate is really busy with his new job that I should just let people help. The calendar is online, and she set it up so that every-other-night or so, you can sign up for a day that is convenient online. Since my blog is being viewed world wide, I don't want to just post the link since it had my home address in it. So, please text, e-mail, post on my blog, or call me and I will send you the link. Please don't feel obligated. My e-mail: jennifercknighten[at]gmail[dot]com
I will let you know how my Radiation Consultation appointment goes today!!
Love you all!
I love the rose! It's true, you just have to let people help you. That was the hardest lesson for me to learn. For me, it was hard because I was used to being independent, doing everything myself. I like taking care of things, it's just in my nature. But, I was so grateful for the schedule and I at least one person over everyday. I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with them plus it was a tremendous help - cooking, laundry, cleaning etc. And, I know Nate loves you, but he will need the break too - to be able to leave the house for an errand w/o worrying.
