Today I went North. Because we have Kaiser and the only Rheumatologist available to me is (exactly) 75.2 miles away from my house. That's ok though, it gave me a reason to stop in and see a good friend we don't often have the chance to visit with!
Why did I visit the Rheumatologist, you ask? Because Kaiser denied my referal to the geneticist. Which I am NOT happy about. At all! So my primary care doctor refered me to Rheumatology instead. She did some x-rays and ran more blood work for more auto immune disorders that I have not previously been tested for. I'm praying for a diagnosis, but after 30+ years I'm not holding my breath! Frustratingly, Ehlers-Danlos is not one of the things she is testing me for. At least not right now.
One common misconception about homeschoolers is that they often get out of doing work. Oh contraire mon frere! See, my little chil'ens are hard at work right there in the Rheumatologist's waiting room! There were TVs on and they were having a hard time finding a way to work without too much distraction (both have rampant ADHD, and today was not a great ADHD day... could have been so much worse though!). This was the solution they came up with!
And THIS is how a bored out of her skull active 2 year old entertains herself when her mommy drags her along to the doctor's office!
This is also a good example of why my camera travels with me EVERYWHERE I GO!!!
