Charles K. Bertel
My first impression of Dr. Bertel is a very careing person and he doesn't sugar coat anything he tells you how it is.

Hey everyone I know its been a long time since my last posting.  The Iron infusion thereapy went great my blood count is up and I feel great.  I have been off from work all summer due to my ulnar nerve being compressed in both my elbows.  I had surgery on the right elbow June 8. the left one was done July 27.  They are both doing very good.  I'm looking at going back to work the 2nd week of September.  I'm happy to say I wont being going back to the same job I had before.  I'm finally going to fallow my dream.  I'm even looking at going back to school for night class to be a vet tech.  Its taken me 39 years to fallow my deam.  I guess its never to late in life.  My 16 year old daughter got her learns permite in June however she has not been able to drive to much because she has had to many dizzy spells and blacking out. She has a headache everyday her normal dr has now referred us over to nero.  She got a heart moniter placed on Thursday to see if its anything to do with her heart.  She did have a MRI of her brain and that was all good.  But we do need to get to the bottom of this.   I did have her call her bio dads parents to find out the medical side there and of course same shit different day they told her they would call her back and never did.  Some people just need to pull their heads out of their ass.  They where so happy to meet her 2 years go but they did what I thought they would do and what I always tried to protect her from.  I guess she need to find out for herself what kind of people they are.  I'm always here for her.  As for my son will we are gearing up for hockey yes its that time of year again.  This summer he did golf and loved it.  He is very good at it.

Well I found out that I have kidney stones. That is why I have had flanke pain.  But otherwise the kidney's look good.  On a side note we had a surprise B-party for my daughter who will turn 16 on the 9th of Dec. Note sure where the time has gone.  I just know before I know it my two kids are going to be out on there own and I won't know what to do with myself.
