A new plan is being made

 My nurse FINALLY got word from the lab on Thursday.

They found two specific mutations that have multiple targeted treatment options.

One of the options is to return to the chemo chair.  That one covers both mutations, but is going to impact quality of life, with increased pain and sickness being likely.

The other two are pills, but she didn't go into detail about if they would work for both mutations or not  (If she did, I was having an adrenaline rush, and didn't hear her).

She suggested that the testing took so long because they were reviewing both types of cancer. That makes sense.

All of the information is on my doctor's desk, and we will see him on Tuesday to talk about all of it.

I will also get my monthly injection, and my port flush, that day.

In other news, the new director took away our overtime hours.  She wants to monitor our productivity, and get a 40 hour week baseline.  This means we are returning to being scrutinized... Yippee.

This seems ill-advised, at best, but we have no choice.  We are still trying to get caught up from everyone leaving, including all of the coders.  We are only just now getting claims for June out the door.

Oh well... we had no say in the matter.

SO, I will re-set the alarm for 6:30 (except for my office day), and will go back to taking my lunch breaks.  I guess it will be nice for a while....but the pay checks will be a lot smaller.

This way, I can see what my raise did to change my regular pay, because I have been working overtime since the raise took effect.

This loss of overtime pay just means that it will take longer to pay off the windows, since my overtime pay has been going toward that.

It's drizzling rain right now...not enough to do any good...but is supposed to rain tomorrow.  We shall see.

Oh!  I found the mild muscle relaxer medication that the doc I saw for the car accident in 2020 prescribed.  I have started taking it, half a table at a time, and it's transforming my leg pain!  There have been a couple of days when I could walk without any limp at all!

I am not going to return to dance class yet, but I am very hopeful about this change.

Going to a yoga class tonight, and will pace myself very carefully.

Have a good week!
