Check out this really neat website that I found. You can ask any kinds of questions or start discussions, and read other people's questions, participate in discussions, and so on. What's pretty neat, too, is that they actually pay you to do this! Don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna get rich or anything, because I only made about $1.50 in a day, but it's fun to just check out different discussions and take part in them. It makes you think... and it can also help you find answers to things that you've wondered but didn't know. Anyways, here it is, if you're interested!

Have an appointment
Here is a picture of our "Florida Family." You all know Tim and I, and there's Ashleigh and Carley. Tammy (My best friend) is next to me, and her daughter, Brittany, and her husband, Kevin, is standing. We all went out to eat on Sunday, and had this picture taken. Their other daughter, Jessica is the only one missing from the picture. But, they live 9/10 of a mile away, and Carley even calls them "Aunt Tammy" and "Uncle Kevin." I can't even begin to imagine where I'd be without the love and support of these people. They are the most loving, caring people that I know.
Ok, so anyways, I finally got the whole oncologist thing figured out. Apparently, Tricare DID send my referrel, but it had an incorrect phone number on it. So, the doctor's office kept trying to call me and leave me messages but it wasn't actually ME, apparently. So, I when I had called tricare, the lady was looking in the computer under pending referrals, instead of all of my referrals, and so I was told that it wasn't even in the computer. So, I called my dr. on base, who called the breast care manager/nurse at the base hospital, who called my surgeon at Shand's, who called my radiologist at Shand's, who got the oncologist the correct phone number and finally called me yesterday... Geez! lol.
So, long story short.... I have an appointment on the afternoon of December 27th. That appointment is when I find out all about the cycles of chemo I'll be doing, and so on. Then, they'll set me up to get started with the actual drugs. Lucky me! (not) But, it's something that I need to do, weather I want to or not, and I know that I have family that will help Tim and I out when/if we need it. My Mom is the first on my list to help out. She's been just patiently waiting for me to give her the "go ahead" to get time off work and come down here to help out. I know Carley's really excited to see her! She talks about her all the time.
Anyways, not much else going on. Just working on the house. The stairs are in and the second story has been started!!! It's so cool. I'm very excited about all of that. Otherwise, not much else going on.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! Happy Holidays from our family to all of yours!
