Kit "To Hope For" by B2N2 Scraps @ STS


JOURNALING- On April 15, one month after Mike's accident, Kelsey went to visit Mikefor the late visiting hour at the hospital. I stayed with sleeping Bella at the Vineyard. Kelsey came back, she was so excited & crying!
Mike had the STRENGTH to reach up hold Kelseys hand. That was the first time that he had done it on his own. We had always picked it up to hold it. Kelsey was quick-thinking & took a picture with her phone.
Miracles do happen.





This is a change of pace for me, along with the journaling, which is very hard for me. My normal type of journaling reads like a 10yo wrote it. This is the way I talk. I have tried to write like most journals I have seen, but it just isnt me. My idea of scrapbooking IMO is to also portray the emotions I have at the time. And this was a great outlet for the frustration. I also decided that journaling is mostly for me, & anyone that reads it in the future might as well read it the way this ole' southern gal talks, LOL. I have thought of one more thing to add to this page- a ink pen. So I'll add that before printing. BTW- my hubby had a VERY serious car accident March 11, which helps to explain why we were so upset about this Dr visit. All of the pages I am doing for a future Scrapbook about it are normal paper size. This was fun- Thank You!!!

Dr. *Quack* Williams
June 29, 2011
Mike & I just left one of the STUPIDIST Dr appointments ever for Mike!!! Dr. *Quack* Williams is Mikes General Practice Doctor, or supposed to be. We need a new GP Dr., this one’s a freakin idiot, and we left extremely frustrated!
When we left Shepherd Rehab Center on April 27, we needed a GP. Our Dr. that we had for many years had decided to close his practice, & Mike & I had not got around to picking a new GP, honestly, because we were not crazy with the choices we had. Then Mike had a serious car accident, & we found ourselves desperate for a GP. Dr. Williams was the only local Dr that we could get to take Mike on in his condition.
We knew at our first visit we didn’t have any confidence in him, but we had to make do with what we could get. Then today we went to a check-up with him, almost two months after he has been home recovering.
He wanted to put Mike in a nursing home or hospital, x-ray his entire body, even though we were scheduled to see Mikes Ortho & Neurologist Dr in the next few days, all because we asked about pain. When I mentioned that the other Drs would probably want x-rays, & insurance would not pay for the same X-rays twice, he said we have to be prepared to cover some expenses. Good Grief! Mike hasn’t worked in four months! Oh- & he also needs to go back to a wheelchair- Arrgghhhhh!!! My husband takes care of himself, has been going to Physical Therapy 3 times a week, walks with a cane in public, & walks by himself around home for crying out loud! Dr. Williams said there was nothing we could do for Mike’s brain injury. Wrong Doc- there is therapy for brain injuries. He asked what, & I told him some of the things that were done at Shepherd, so he suggested Mike come in the next morning & they can play scrabble. Are you kidding me???
Mike & I are now looking for a new GP. We have learned a valuable lesson- always interview a Dr. before deciding to be his patient. Sometimes nothing is better than something.
On the photo: Does he look like he needs to be in a hospital?
