Believe, pick me up for the "scream" ride!

Hi all,
Just trying to deal with the place that I had a mammo yesterday. What a deal. They called me to tell me yesterday that they needed me to get the last pictures to compare with the ones done yesterday. I told them that they were in San Antonio, but that I could get them if absolutely necessary. Said they would call back yesterday or this morning at the latest. Well, you can guess that that didn't happen. When I called them, you should have heard the run around I got to end up telling me absolutely nothing! The place I went and the tech were so nice, but they send them on in to Corpus Christi to read. Well the merry-go-round keeps going around.....
Believe, stop by and pick me up and I'll go "screaming with ya"!!!
Now I know why I pay to have them done in San Antonio....to be treated with a bit of respect and dignity. Worth every penny. But, I'm trying to be frugile and save my pennies for the most important things!
Just made me so grateful for the doctor and nurses that treat me at CTRC in SAT! They are angels and have made my 20 month adventure doable! I guess a "glitch" now and then wakes me up to how incredibly lucky I have been to have the magnificent care I have had from the most wonderfully loving group of folks!
Oh, yea, I read Barbara and Ginger's stories last night and had such a wonderful cry! Hope they know how grateful we are for what they have done for all of us! To be first and not know what to expect. To be so brave!
Love again....Believe, I'll wait out front for ya!!!!!
