It’s been crazy in my neck of the woods lately.  I’ve been fighting a few bugs and Nan-naw ended up in the hospital with what was initially thought to be pnuemonia and then suspected to be Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) and in the end was bronchitis with excess fluid.  Yesterday she had a follow-up with her cardiologist and he siad that she still has bronchitis and then we were rushed up to see her pulmonologist.  This doctor then prescribed an antibiotic (azithromycin) that reacts adversely to one of her heart medications (amiodarone).  What the heck?  Did he not pay attention to what she takes??

I am currently working on creating an Alopecia Areata support group.  At the moment I have a name (Planet Alopecia) and a location (third floor multi-purpose room at the Retirement Community where I work), but that’s it.  I am working on being charterd by the NAAF (<A HREF=”http://www.naaf.org”>National Alopecia Areata Foundation</A>) and at this moment I am waiting for my paperwork to come in the mail.

School started – I actually like all my teachers.  None of them are crazy (or nosey).  Even the one class I was nervous about (music appreciation) was not nearly as awful as I expected.  Biololgy is one of my favorite subjects anyway, but when you throw in a hilarious teacher it becomes even more awesome!  My English Composition class is exciting as well.  I enjoy writing and my instructor told us that the class is really for writing – YAY!

Keep laughing!
