People that Should…

We had a late start with getting the twins over to Nana’s house today. First, I didn’t think that was going to even happen, then after plans reversed back to normal… after getting ready, we had a bit of a delay when JT locked the keys in our newly purchased used mini-van. No fret… thankfully, we have AAA. After JT mentioned calling a locksmith, I swiftly said… “Call AAA, they’ll be here in about 30 minutes.” And indeed, they did come in 30 minutes. That is customer service folks. Side note: I really need those tools that they use to open up cars. Never know when you will get locked out *smirk*
This afternoon, we had lunch at McDowells (what I call McDonalds), made extra keys for the van at Ace Hardware and saw the movie, The Departed at AMC West Olive 16. The Departed was an excellent movie and I enjoyed all two and one half hours of it.
Everyone needs a good laugh from time to time. George Carlin is hilarious, check it out.

Happy Birthday Dot
November 17th, 2006
Happy Birthday to the number one Aunt in the universe…. Dorothy. I call her Aunt Dot. William and Keisha call her Aunt Dot.
I love her with all of my heart. My mother’s sister… Aunt Dot is my second mother in my heart.
I wish I could have seen you on your birthday Aunt Dot, but hopefully I will see you next Thursday on Thanksgiving. The twins and I look forward to seeing you. Hugs and Kisses.
Love,
Rashaan

Veterans Day 2006

On this day I honor the number one veteran in my life, JT. I also honor both of my grandfathers, Ardie and Bobby, my great uncles and several other members of my extended family.
Happy Veterans Day

A Little Easier This Time
November 10th, 2006
Yesterday I took William to the doctor for his fourth scheduled transfusion. I was happy to hear from JT that on Wednesday, William cried very little from the IV. Fortunately the same occurred today… when his nurse M. entered the room, William did cry a bit, but relaxed a great deal after I gave him a Dum Dum sucker. Bribery with candy is essential. M. only had to poke William once with the needle and she easily put the IV in his left arm. This was a complete 180 from last month and mom was happy.
William had a brief nap while the saline was hooked up to his IV. This drastically reduced the crankiness later in the afternoon.
This time T. removed the blood; she took out 80 mL like M. did last month. Unlike last month, this time William was very friendly and willing to let T. do her job and help him.
Transfusion day is already a long day, but what made the day even longer was that I William and I took the bus to my job to pick up some information and then we stopped at the Health Fair. The Health Fair was only being offered on my day off… yesterday. I felt that it was important to stop at the Health Fair because there are many upcoming changes in our insurance providers for federal employees.
The bag of pamphlets and trinkets from the insurance providers was too heavy to carry on the bus, so I put my name on it and left it at work and then take it home later. I am extremely disappointed with my health care provider because they are increasing not only the cost of co-payments and medicines, but they are also charging an admittance fee of $200.00 and up, which means if William is admitted to the hospital, that is $200.00 out of pocket for my family. A big change from not having to pay anything at all.
I need to do some lobbying in Washington D.C. or something. I also need to do more research about OPM’s role in what health insurance providers can and cannot do to federal employee plans.
