Pheochromocytoma Journey for Skye Day 8


The start of the day began slowly.  I talked to a couple of clients on the phone.  I will keep one and try to take on a new one.  But, one of my clients that isn’t benefiting my condition, will have to go.  I can’t afford to extend myself to the point where it’s costing me money to deal with him.  This isn’t the 1st client I had to let go.  After the phone calls I started working on my Daughter Journal.  It is 365 days of motherly advice.  I’ve been working on it for 1yr already.  I’m hoping to catch up on it when my work load slows down.  So, Queens hospital called me early this afternoon.  They said the meds re ready for pick up.  But, when I called my pharmacy, it wasn’t there.  So, I called the hospital and they mentioned to me that the prescription I need is at a Queens pharmacy instead, which is in a awkward location.  I would have to walk up a steep hill and walk down a steep hill.  Not good, I could easily get a spill walking up.  But, I got to do what I got to do to feel better.  So, I go and get it tomorrow.  I probably won’t get a ride, so I’ll get a bus and walk the hill.   Right now, it seems like any movement I do, starts a spell and they coming closer and closer.   Now I know what I got, I notice my symptoms more.  I know more of my swelling, and more of my spells, instead of saying I must be tried or I must not eat anything and that’s why my head is hurting.  No, it’s the pheo.  I’m still on the search for support for my rare condition.  I found a stand up for cancer site on line.  I also found out that they are doing a tv telethon, but when I called the tv station and called the hosp PR dept. not even PR heard of it,  even though the hosp is sponsoring the telethon.  To make a long story short, it’s just a syndicated show and no one knew anything, from the hosp to the tv station.  I found that the cancer is not related to clinic I go to.  There is a bad thing that a lot people or locals do in Hawaii, I am noticing more and more.  That when a local doesn’t want find the answer they don’t know, they think it’s to not answer your question.  I get that when I call the insurance company, when I called the hosp(all the time) and when I call city hall.  Customer Service is when they don’t know. they’ll find out.  Here, you got to tell them to find out your answer that the person should know to begin with.   It’s like when You go to a fast food place and now they won’t give more then one napkin or no condiments unless you ask for them.  They all are taking the fast food attitude and it’s make them all look cheap and bad in my book.  Hawaii should want to have a higher level of customer service in a service related job. Duh*  I have a lot of anxiety over taking the new meds.  I hope I don’t have to cancel my Hard Rock gig that worked hard to get, but it looks like I will, even though I don’t want to admit it.  I wanted clean water, so I thought I would buy a water pitcher with filter, but stewhen I went to the grocery store, it was too high for my taste.  Oh well, next time.  Here is some info on Pheo I found.  Every day I found a youtube link and good info sites.
