What a Day!!

Well, I remembered something I forgot that is just a wee bit important. We went to MD Anderson in October. While there, the world renowned Dr. Kurzrock wrote an order for me to have bloodwork done every 3 weeks. Some chemical they need to keep track of when a person is on Interferon.
So, I took the order to our hospital (closest place for me since I shouldn't be driving), dropped it off and promptly forgot about it. DIPSTICK!!
Now, I'm trying to fix the error. Thus, I start tomorrow, and faithfully follow my routine. Means I have to drive to the lab once every 3 weeks. On the other hand, I want my chances of survival to be favorable. So, I'll just have to be extra careful. My wife works 'til 11:00 pm and needs to unwind after work. So, she hits the sack about 1:30 or 2:00. I ain't asking her to get up at 6:30 a.m. to drive me 6 miles. She gets too tired as is, and I worry about her.
Oh, in case you're wondering, ain't no public transportation in Waynesville, NC.
I, also, got on the phone w/ MD Anderson and twisted their arm about working w/ my Oncologist here. Their Dr., Kurzrock, has seen several cases of ECD and reversed them. So, I want her involved.
