Thanks and Parties

[Guest guest]

Gosh I love you guys! Thanks for all the responses to our clinic update.

I'm going to try to fatten Allie up with real food before trying the

supplements. Supplements seem to be slippery slope to me. I have also

thought about our situation alot since yesterday and came to one

conclusion. My father lives with us about 80% of the time. He is diabetic

and in kidney failure (on dialysis). As I love to cook and bake, in the

past my house has always had lots of high cal yummies like cookies,

brownies, fudge etc. Dad is brutal in the willpower dept. so I have

stopped having alot of that stuff around. Perhaps it's been to the

detriment of Allie as this is the stuff she would choose to eat. What a

predicament, but I guess the adult (Dad) is going to have to deal with it,

and I will try not to feel guilty when Dad chows down on it. It will also

ensure that my membership in the FAfCF club will be a lifetime one LOL.

With respect to the CPT, our clinic does not support any other devices i.e.

flutter or vest - it has to be Manual CPT. So, I will just continue my

position and when necessary am prepared to fight for a referral for the vest.

As for Christmas Parties, our clinic has one every year in a church

basement (how germy is that) and it's a potluck (everyone brings food)

When I met Jen she was pretty horrified that this continues, so it was

interesting to me that someone else has this as well. Bear in mind, these

are the same Docs that thought I was putting Allie at risk of

cross-infection by meeting with Jen's clan. Makes me wonder how they

justify the Christmas Party.

Maybe we are just a good old fashioned (read behind the times) Canadian

Clinic. Oh joy! More reasons to keep talking with you folks for the info

and comparisons.

Love and laughter,

Mo
