Still Waiting

Not a whole lot new to report hear on my end. I'm still waiting to get the green light from insurance to have my blood drawn for the mitochondrial labs. I have other labs that need to be done as well that I have been putting off in hopes that I could do them all at once, but I may go ahead and get them done this next week: my hair has been falling out since the beginning of June so that's what those labs are for. Lucky for me, I had a lot to start with, so no one has noticed yet except for me, but we are talking major hair loss at this point...I think I could knit a scarf or child-sized sweater from all the hair I've lost! The upside is, I can straighten my hair in just two layers instead of three; the downside is, there doesn't seem to be an end to this and I can't say I'm a fan. It could just be stress; however, my stress level didn't really go up at all (well, until about a week ago when I found about about the mito. thing!). Anyway, the summer is marching on here at our house and I can't believe that school starts up again in just a few weeks! I hope you are enjoying your summer and staying cool! Karin
