I Messed Up

I couldn't sleep Sunday night. I didn't know why but something was wrong.

Women's intuition. I need to listen to it more.

I should have jumped out of bed and tried to figure out what was missing.

Of course, around noon Monday it dawned on me. Chris's two month check up...

The check up that had been scheduled for two months. The check up that should have taken place at 9 a.m. on Monday morning. No wonder I couldn't sleep. It's my fault he missed it, it's my job to keep track of those things.

I messed up.

I'm so bad, I made him call to reschedule the appointment. This last Tuesday we went to the hospital and he had a chest x-ray...the results were then sent next door to his oncologist.

He had his appointment with the oncologist yesterday. He was nervous. Duh. The chest x-ray looked good, nothing to worry about there. But, they also took about 3 gallons vials of blood from him and said they'd call today if the tumor markers were out of whack.

We haven't heard from them yet. That is, unless Chris is screening his phone calls again.

You see, they had called Friday to remind him of his appointment that was scheduled for Monday. You know, the one we missed because I forgot? And did I mention that we pretty much got yelled at by the NP? Seriously! We didn't mean to miss the appointment, we realize this is important. Geez lady.

I learned my lesson. As soon as Chris gets home today he will be checking his missed calls.

I know we don't have anything to worry about though. He's back to his healthy, silly, happy self.

Ba ha ha!

Oh, just so you know...Chris will have a chest x-ray every two months followed by a check up/labs with his oncologist for the next year.

So could someone please remind me that we have somewhere to be on July 6th at 9 in the morning?
