I have been home for 3 months!!So much has happened since I last updated my blog! I am a proud Aunt (again) of a beautiful, healthy, Nephew! Andrew Noah was born on May 19th and he is a miracle baby in addition to having brought such happiness into this family! Congratulations to Michele for baking this baby for as long as she did and to David and Sarah for their new precious addition to their family!
What a nice pleasure it has been to have my brother, Edward, here from California for a month...staying with me! He and I are very close and it is so nice to have the company in the house and to spend so much time with him. Ed lives in California so it is not often we can catch up and have quality bonding time! Fortunately for him, I cannot drive yet so he gets to use my car and the pool is open so it is like a full resort for a guest who stays here! Love having you here, Ed... I will miss you when you leave!
I would like to say that my health is great and that I am on the road to complete recovery however that would be to easy for Stacy. Does it ever work that easy for Stacy? No! I have added a new "ist" doctor to my list and I now see a urologist. I will spare you all the details as to why I am now seeing a urologist but ... I will be having a cystoscopy on Thursday and I am hoping it all turns out OK because I am just about on the 10 day 'forecast" for my hand surgery. (if you are not familiar with the forecast reference, see previous blog entry entitled weather forecast) and it explains it all!
Like I mentioned in my previous blog entries, I am so worried that the "team" that needs to be put together at UMDNJ has not been established yet. None of my doctors have heard from any UMDNJ doctors, or my hand surgeon and that concerns me a lot. The recovery period after my CMC joint reconstruction that I will be having is so important to my healing-- if one mistake is made it can make or break my healing ... or my life. I am so worried. This week starts my WEEK of pre-admission testing for surgery. I need cardiac workups, gastrointestinal workups, urologist workups, endocrinologist clearance, and last but not least I need my internist to clear me. ( But Dr. Bulan will clear me... right?? wink wink)
A teensy weensy part of my knee surgery incision from this summer's surgery has re-opened. We caught it early enough and the surgeon re-bandaged it with an Unna Boot dressing...so I hope when he removes it Wednesday, it will be healed.
If there is anyone out there that knows about Vitamin C deficiency, or knows someone who does know about this rare condition (that requires a port in my chest and 2 1/2 hours of IV vitamin C every night) I would be forever grateful if you could help me! It is so hard to be bounced around and I just cannot accept that this will be my life forever.
Check back here on Wednesday, after I see my hand surgeon but as of now....
Surgery is Friday, June 10th. I will be at UMDNJ in Newark, NJ for "supposedly" 3-5 days!
To be continued...

Considering Dr. Capo's staff's track record, I'd say you are on the maybe forecast for him. GL
