General surgeon appointment!!!!

I got an appointment with a new general surgeon who is going to implant my port! I have an appointment next Thursday, 11/21, with a local general surgeon! This doctor should be able to get me into surgery very quickly if all goes well :) I am so relieved that this is done!!!!!

I had my orthopedic surgeon appointment yesterday and it went very well. I have had the same orthopedic surgeon since I was 7 and absolutely love him! He said my hand and wrist are very stable and that I can go back to everything I was doing before without any restrictions. The one thing he said is to ease back into signing (ASL) gradually. I asked him if the cartilage was likely to tear again since it has already torn once and he said that he took out the piece that tore so no. That was a relief to not have to worry about that. As we were leaving he said that the best advice that he has for me is to stay out of his office! Then he thought for a second and goes "I feel like I have told you that before...". I love Dr. Krpan :) This was a great relief as it is now one more health issue that I don't have to worry about anymore!

I also picked up my allergy serum for my shots, so I don't have to think about that anymore because it will last me until October or November of next year. I am not sure if I will need a yearly appointment in May with my ENT or not, but I am having no issues. I do have to do another round of allergy tests to see how my body is responding to the shots, but that is not until October of 2015. My allergies are so much better and my sinuses feel great! It has been over 1.5 years since my sinus surgery and I am still infection free :) I have NEVER gone this long without a sinus infection before!!!!

I went to pick up the new dosage of one of my medications, as I mentioned in the last post, and for some reason Humana wouldn't cover it. They said they had already paid for that prescription.... which is true, but it is only a 30 day prescription and I last had it refilled on October 11, which is obviously more than 30 days ago (I don't take it on the weekends). So now I have to call the insurance and figure out what is going on with that.

I will update sometime next week after my cervical collar fitting and general surgeon appointment.
