  • It's already the 18th??

    I have an appointment with Dr. H. on Thursday!  But I was supposed to have a PET scan prior to that.  And so far, insurance won't approve it. *sigh*

    So, what does that mean?  I guess I'll call the office tomorrow and find out if they still want to see me on Thursday, or if they want to wait.  Insurance says that they won't do a PET scan until I'm 4 months from radiation.  So I have to find out if Dr. H wants to wait for 4 months to do chemo, or if we're going to start it before the PET scan.  Blech.

    I'm also going to see Dr. P for my radiation followup and the other Dr. P for my peg tube followup.  Lots of doctors after having a break for a few weeks.  Oh well.  It was nice to have a break for a few weeks.

    Colton and Rohan are both still sick.  It's a virus, and it's nasty.  Both of them have been puking and running high fevers.  Paul doesn't want me caring for them, obviously, because we don't want me to get sick.  But I still wake up every time they come in to see him.  On Friday, I told Michael, my boss, that I needed to go home around 1:30 and take a nap for an hour or so and then I'd finish the day from there.  I slept until 6:00 pm!!!  So, I worked for a few hours yesterday to make up my naptime.  But good grief.  I didn't think the boys had kept me awake that much!

    The girls and I made a Goodwill run yesterday to get clothes for their mission trip.  They leave a week from today.  WOW!  But, anyway, they needed clothes that they could do construction in without messing them up, so $45 later at Goodwill, and they've got shoes, jeans, and shirts to wear out as they build a house.  I got a sweet email from the Middle School Pastor this last week promising to take care of my girls as though they were his own.  I know that he'll take care of all of the kids that way, but it was nice to have him single out my girlies.  They're very excited about the trip.  We have a few more things to buy.  Sunscreen, one more sleeping bag, a solar shower if we can find one.  But otherwise, they're ready!

    Have a great week!

  • (((Evie))) Insurance sucks sometimes.

  • I have a solar shower the girls can use. Mo

  • Hey Evie, I don't have a solar shower but I have one of those that you use when camping. I think it holds 5 gallons or something. We've never used it so don't know if it would work but you are welcome to it if you need it!! Let me know!

  • Thank you so much for your comment.  I know you've got a lot on your heart and mind these days.  It means so much that you take time to read.  you, Evie!

  • I was all ready to tell you where to find a solar shower, but sounds like you have some good friends there to loan you one. Sorry the doctor-go-round is cranking up again. I guess it's a necessary evil since getting well is the goal. Take care!!

  • Freaking cow! I hate that insurance companies think that they know better than the doctors. ((Hugs))

  • Insurance companies can BITE ME.
