Squint, It Makes Things Prettier

Trying to see things in a better light, here goes another rant. Why is it so difficult to get people to do their jobs?  

 After over two months waiting for a physician specialist consult for Julie, the paperwork still has not been forwarded to the gastroenterology group practice.  Every time I have asked about when the specialist would see her, the answer was that it "just takes time" or that "it is in the orders, just wait."  Conceding that the inquiry had been made and we were just waiting for follow-up, I got fed up after waiting over two months with nothing happening. So in tears, I created a minor stir-up at the nurses' station yesterday. Sure enough, the orders were not sent to the physician group by the person responsible for this seemingly minor task.  

 And that inhaler Julie asked for three weeks ago?  Still not in hand. Thanks to her diligent nurse, yesterday we at least got some answers and medication now is available for J's asthma.  We shall see if the consultation is forthcoming.

 Sigh.  I hated to channel Shirley MacLaine in Terms of Endearment, but, yes, I was ranting.  JUST GIVE HER THE DAMN MEDICINE!  Thank you, Debbie.  Blessings on you. Maybe the consult will come through, also.


 Julie asked for red highlights from the beautician at Mesa Manor, similar to Julianne Moore.  She got highlights for sure, but more like Cyndi Lauper...

Just squint...and the red looks softer


I can, with one eye squinted, take it all as a blessing.

    Hi Nancy! Oh, I bet you ARE frustrated with inefficiency and lack of attention to detail regarding Julie's care.
    She looks cute with her new highlights and I'm SO glad she got an inhaler!

    Thank goodness you are there to check things are getting done or your Julie would certainly be feeling the impact, hope it's all sorted out soon.
    Hilights look pretty and fun.

    I love how Julie went to the beauty parlor and go her 'do did. And you go, lioness mama. Sometimes you need to roar to get ppl to get it right.

    I think I would be in full Aurora Greenway mode all the time if I were in your position, so I'm sure you're handling things more gracefully than I would.

    I like Julie's highlights, squinting and not squinting!
