Reminder 1: Don\’t forget the caption contest.
No, don\’t put your captions as comments on this post. Those who try will have a small electric shock transmitted to their fingers via a new WordPress widget.

Here was my idea for a caption:
Don\’t do this. An apple on the top of the head is much safer.
Reminder 2: Take the latest poll.
[poll id=\”24\”]
Reminder 3: Use deodorant.
Trust me on this one. Your friends all asked me to tell you.
I chose the “most but not all of it” option on the poll, but the truth is, while I’m not likely to ASK to see all of it, I want to be ABLE to see every little stinking bit if I want to. Does that make sense?
I do find it handy to have copies of various reports and labs and such, and I occasionally ask my PCP for copies of the reports the specialists send her. But I’ve never asked to see (or have) my entire chart.
I was glad I had started collecting my lab reports this week when I found out that my APTT was twice the high end of normal and got referred to my hematologist (who really just monitors me for MGUS normally). I thought I remembered something about a platelet function test earlier in my mystery illness journal, and I had to dig through a two inch file of blood test results to find a lab report from November 2007, when the APTT was also elevated (although not as much as currently). Very handy. The hematologist’s assistant was very grateful when I faxed that over to her.
Anyway, fwiw. 🙂
