Katie is a name you will all want to commit to memory. Katie is our Nurse Coordinator down at the Masonic Cancer Center at the University Medical Center in Minneapolis.
If you want to get to Dr Madoff you get there through Katie. If you want lab results, x-ray reports or an expedited appointment, you get there through Katie. Now I'd like to tell you what she looks like, I met her last week, I think she is my height, blonde and cute, but stress has a way of interfering with an otherwise impeccable mental recall. I can tell you she makes things happen and is a total sweetheart. I think Mike is falling in love with her. He may be able to describe her.
Mike has been on the phone with Katie a lot these past few days and things are starting to move a bit (no intestinal pun intended). I know you are all waiting as fast as you can for what the next step will be. I know you are waiting for new info, I mean besides what birds we've seen or which tree is our new favorite, how many cups of coffee of which kind we are drinking or the ever entertaining meltdown posts. We are waiting too.
Katie is working on our life, on Mike's life and right now that's ok. At least something is happening. She's gonna call him again tomorrow with more detailed info regarding appointments with the Wizard (if you are joining this game already in process you will need to go back to Karen's 5/31/2009 post). It sounds as if we will have appointments next week. We'll give you more when we know more...how's that?
In the meantime, thanks for playing and pay attention. There will be pop quizzes periodically and cheap but fabulous prizes will be awarded. All prize winners will be entered into a sweepstakes (no purchase necessary) to win an amazing prize which will be awarded at our "We Made It" party.
Peace Out
Karen

Hopefully while you'er playing this game you'll draw a "One free spin" Card from time to time.
Ooooo Oooooo, sign me up for the prize!
Gotta give it to those nurse coordinators, I loved mine down at Mayo. I think that they must be some type of magical guide that can smooth things out, make things happen, and know just what to say and do.
I just found your blog Karen, long story, Mom-in-law is back in a rehab unit back in Baltimore, No computer access for the last month unless we hit the Johns Hopkins Library. We are in route to Bemidji for Brett's wedding, and maybe another flying trip back to the east coast in a few weeks, we're not sure. I've been knitting socks like mad, and remembering to "unknit" when the occasion occurs. Sometimes the occasion is more than that wonderful soft yarn flowing through my fingers, but a bit of life itself and like knitting, I remember to take life one stitch at a time and try not to get to far ahead of what needs my focus now.
Take care of each other, I'll keep following your blog. Karen Gurney
