Being Pro-Active

We've been waiting for a phone call from our HMO to set an appointment for T's PET scan. When nothing came in today's mail and there was no phone call, my man called them... and found out that radiology has not received an order yet. It has to come from either the Houston doctor (who we are pretty sure is on vacation) or the Oly doctor (who may do it... we'll see) and it happens here only on Tuesdays. T talked someone into reserving a spot for him and will be calling our Oly doctor in the morning to see if he would call in the scan order. Oh the hoops and red tape and stuff... But we learned the last time around: the patient must take charge of his own medical care. That is, until we're in Houston, then that amazing doctor takes over and I mean to tell you, stuff gets done! So pray that we'll get the order for the scan in time to have it done next Tuesday.
