Dear All,
Sat will be my last chance to get in here until after I get to Germany
for my surgery with DR Korell & Spray Gel. My dear Dan will post for me
while I am gone. My 1st surgery is on June 3. Please keep me in your
thoughts & prayers that I may have a successful 1st surgery with out the
return of adhesions.
I also found out that my insurance co has denied my claim agian!! Saying
I could find someone to help me in my plan area. I have been to so many
Drs & no one is willing or able to help me. My PCP keeps me semi pain
free with pain meds. I resently went off the duragesic patches because
my co pay was $80 a month. That was on top of several other meds I
take.
I also have to return tomorrow for a repeat mamogram from 2 weeks ago. I
do have a mass that has been watched for the past 12 years, but this is
a smaller lump they are looking at. I also am having a ultrasound done
on it tomorrow too. I will not have the results until after I get to
Germany, so I will be leaving not knowin what is in store for me when I
return. My family history with breast cancer includes my grandmother
who lost a beast to cancer, my Mom lost both breast 7 years apart to the
cancer & her sister lost a breast to a fast spreading cancer. I am not
scared as I know the Lord is with me and will comfort me, but am
frustrated that it is one more thing to deal with.
I will be gone from home for 4 weeks because I am flying out of Phoenix
and it is 6 hours away from home, so Dan will not have to take off work
to take me to & from the airport. He has already had to take off a lot
of time from work to take me to Dr appointments in and out of town.
I am going to miss Dan & my kids.
This Saturday, our son Jacob is graduating from High School. This is a
great accomplishment since he has a short term memory problem and has
been in special Ed since elementary school. He is graduating with a
high A this year and an over all high B. Several of his cousins have
droped out of school, so I am especially proud of him. His older Sister
& her hubby will come and my parents will also come & his other Grandma
will be there too. We will be having a little party afterwards & then
he will be off to celebrate all night with his friends. (all the kids
spend the whole night out on graduation night-small town-but we all know
what is going on & where)
I will also miss my pets! My dogs, Pack Rat, Feliz, & Patches, my cats,
Kitty, Mooch, YumYum, Lilly & Sugar, and my hamster Little Bit, and my
fish. I am taking my teddy bear that Dan gave me for Valentines so I
will have a cuddle buddy.
My prayers continue for all of you. For those in pain, I pray for pain
free/less days. For those who have had surgery, I pray for continued
adhesion pain free.
all my love,
robin M
