The truth is, I hate being disorganized. Really, it stresses me out! So, I took a tip from Bunkey. She stores all of her and Eddie’s medical information in binders. Now, because both Bunkey and Eddie have been diagnosed with cancer on more than one occasion, their binders are immense. I believe that they are also necessary. In any given week they are off to one doctor or another and it is important to have the most recent information with them. Each of their binders is in a bag that gets put in the car whenever they have a doctor’s appointment.
Several years ago, before I knew Bunkey, I did something similar. It was when I first found a lump/growth in my right breast. I saw several surgeons and had multiple tests all over the course of a month. I kept everything in a totebag. Everytime I left for an appointment all I had to do was grab that one bag and I had everything I needed. Once that scare was over, I stopped being so organized.
Three weeks ago Office Depot had a sale on their binders. So I searched Pinterest for some help. I found this great binder system at Thirty Handmade Days. I am in the process of creating medical binders for Mark and myself. As we get older, it becomes more apparent, that there are things that we really need to keep a close check on. We don’t want anymore surprise trips to the hospital so we’re doing something about it.
I will let you know my progress and how it all works out. Wish me luck, organizing is not one of my strong suits.
