New schedule only slightly better than last one

I went to the BMT clinic yesterday at 3:00 as per a phone call last Friday, which informed me that Francesca would meet me in the Infusion Room with a new schedule.  Inasmuch as it was the second Monday of this cycle (number 26) and the only activity scheduled was a Velcade infusion I expected I would only be there for a short time.  But I didn't consider their general slowness and that Francesca would have to be summoned after Kristy finished the infusion.  Jennifer happened to walk through and I told her that I was expecting Francesca and she said that she was going to that area and she would remind Francesca that I was expecting to see her.  I waited another 20 or 30 minutes and when she arrived it was with a new schedule, marginally better than the last schedule.

This schedule calls for some appointments at 10AM; some at 10:30AM; one at 9:30; one at 9:15; all of the first Mondays in each cycle are at 1:00PM; and I am to come in at 8:30 next week.  Aredia infusions are now scheduled for every 3 months.  I do not know whether or not Dr. Atanackovic had any input with this schedule as Francesca and Pam said last week he might.

This post is delayed until today because yesterday was just too hectic with my income tax problems and the desire to watch the basketball game between Wisconsin and Duke last night.  Somewhat disappointed by the outcome because I remembered how close the Utes had come to defeating Duke in the round of 16 teams.
