So This is Life

The title section still doesn't work today... what the heck?!


Anyway... Productive day is the topic. Tuesday was busy at work. I spent most of the day doing the usual, but Dr. R had a few outside appointments to take care of so both times he was gone I did collection letters for our office manager. Fun stuff, but its got to be done! I know iv'e been complaining about work lately but another thing to vent about today.


Its more about the autoclave situation. Last week Dr. R said to me, "since no one else will do it, you and I are going to have to go through all of the insturments and just inventory what we have and make it all correct". I agree with him and I want to do this. The only thing that's holding me back is Mrs. Do-all at this point. She usually does all the autoclaving and handles all the instruments. Its become almost one of those things for her that she just does. I have NO PROBLEM doing any of it whatsoever, but I feel like im stepping on toes if I just jump in and do what he's asking. So many things around there are like mine and theirs and all that crap... crappy teamwork. I consider myself very much a team player and ive worked in many situations where teamwork is a do or die kind of thing (like the restraunt business). I wish I knew how to go about handling this situation without making her feel like I'm stepping on her "turf". Why does it feel that way? It really shouldn't. I dont know how to fix this situation so ill probably end up handling it like I do most everything. Just do what my boss asks me to do and not worry about the rest. I know who signs my paycheck. Ugh... stupid stuff.


Ok enough about that. Kenedey's knee is HORRIBLE today. She called me at work to tell me that her knee hurt really bad. The stoic girl has succomed to what this disease does to her body. She has finally gotten to ther point where her mind is no longer stronger than the pain. But gosh she is such a little trooper. Im serious, she is tough. She is using her crutches because her contracture of the knee is now so bad that she can't straighten that knee to get it to the ground. The joint is BIG. Only 2 more full days to get through until the procedure. I think she is finally looking forward to the procedure (persejur) as she calls it! Thank God that we have the option. I wonder how much this weather is affecting her its so humid outside and I think that seems to make it worse... however Dr. Adams says it really doesn't I can't help but think it has some bearing on the severity... but what do I know?! Anway... she is just hanging low and just waiting for Friday. Please keep her in your prayers for healing thoughts and a successful and safe procedure. We will get to the other side of this disease AGAIN! :-) Chin up as Wilbur says!


So I had an idea tonight to do a blog poll because I don't have any new pics to share. Kenedey helped me come up with these questions at dinner. I don't get many comments on my blog... for those of you who don't know at the bottom if you click on where it says "Comments" you can post a comment. So leave your answers there if your interested in playing along...we will see how it goes. I will also post Kenedey and my answers in the comments section!


I hope all of you who read from the Michigan area are keeping cool! I think cooler days are in sight. Sorry but ill take this heat ANY day over the snow and frezzing rain and icy roads. Come on heat!


We are having a garage sale this weekend at Jessica's so I spent the evening going through baby stuff to get rid of. I usually keep on top of taking out Carson's stuff that he doesn't use any longer, but I don't think I have done it since he was like 10 months old and it was sad tonight getting all that little baby stuff out to get rid of. He is such a toddler now! Walking sure makes them seem grown up quick! I know I shouldn't be sad, its a great thing that he is growing so well and is so smart and all that stuff I try desperately not to take for granted. However he is my baby and he was born yesterday right?!





This post turned out to be longer than I expected but now ill get on with my origional plan:
