Ok so I’m bad at this I know! But I did want to share some good news from today.
1. I’ll be able to go to my h.s. reunion this weekend as long as PT and I can get me into a car by then
Usually there is a back log on homebound PT but they squeezed me in so yay
The Dr. gave permission this morning as long as I only go to the dinner and right back
(btw I was officially released from the hospital last thursday on a homebound status b/c well moving is something of a major challenge right now…most times I FEEL fine (although I have two positions only, laying down on my back or sitting up in one position which gets very physically uncomfortable after a week or so) but it’s frustrating not to be able to move b/c I’m trussed up like a Christmas Goose. I did manage to go to the bathroom all by myself today YAY!)
2. TT the Dr. and the spot on my lungs that shrunk and they thought if it shrunk it would indicate it reacted to the chemo so it’s a metastasized spot? Well they think now that there’s no reason to beleive that b/c I also had such high dosages of antibiotics so they think they could’ve shrunk it…so right now we’re still treating me as not having metastasized
YAY (I have to be honest and say there’s a little voice in the back of my head going ummmmmmm maybe just maybe they’re wrong but as I’ve committed to living in the “what is” world and not the “what if” world I’ll worry about that little voice, if i need to worry about the little voice, when the time comes)
3. And the big news…the approved my Long Term Disability. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s still only 60% of my earnings which we all know weren’t great to begin with, but it’s still better than the 0% I’ve been getting since the last week of June. It couldn’t have come at a better time. I should see July’s payment sometime next week I hope. I need to pay my car payment, car insurance, and well food has definitely been an issue here lately (though you’d be suprised at how far $3.23 (all we had) can go at Aldi…we found out yesterday and it’s pretty far =) =)…) God is sooo great and always provides that which we need. I have a tendency to forget that sometimes and I really need to work on remembering his faithfulness!
Anywho, there’s the quick update. Miss ya’ll! Come Visit (and if you can’t come visit, at least come to the benefit on the 6th! I really want to see everyone, that’s what I want most out of this benefit…if all you can do is the $5.00 to get in the door and no more, no biggie…I just want to see everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love and peace out everyone
um, we’re only going for the dinner? I was unaware of that…
