Stopping at Dr. Hartings office first to get my blood drawn which now has become a piece of cake, then off to see the residents.  I check in and give them my Community Nurse card and the girl gives me all kinds of crap!!  Shes like who told you to come here and your going to have to pay for this visit and all this!!!  Here I am I just want to see a doctor that can tell me more about what the fuck is happening to me and all you care about is MONEY!!!!!!!  So shes got to check with her supervisor or something and I'm thinking why i made the appointment and I'm here I'm seeing the damn doctor!!  She came out and said the same thing again, I don't know why they told you to come here but you weren't supposed to and you will have to pay for this visit.  OK fine lady I will figure it out!!!  So in we go. Doctor comes in carrying a laptop and he knows all about me and my hospital stay, even though I don't think I saw him when I was there but whatever!!  He explained again about ITP being Idiopathic meaning they don't know where it comes from.  He also again speculated that it was caused by the strep I had in November.  He said to keep working with Dr. Harting and things should be fine.  He left and came back with very old and I think senile DR. Nelson!!!  Dr. Nelson said that the great thing was my count was up to 157K and that it seemed I was going to be fine.  He said the great thing about an idiopathic illness is that they don't know why but it got better.  DUH I know why it got better because I was on the Prednisone, HELLO!!!!!  Anyway he said I was fixed and this was all behind me!!!  Dr. Harting had lowered my dose of Prednisone to 80mg daily and I got to enjoy Christmas without having to go to the doctor and get blood drawn!!!

So on Christmas eve I enjoyed my beverages along with my family and had a great time!!  I remember telling everyone that the doctor said I was going to be fine that it was just some weird thing but there was nothing to worry about!!!!  LOL!!!!
