The odds are at it again

One of these days I will figure out who or what I pissed off in this or a past life. I had surgery the 5th of Sept. That was ok kind of. Unusual twisted anatomy and a good dr equal out... Getting the hosp bill and seeing the $23,680.37 total. (Luckily it was just the itemized bill not the amount I have to pay)... Having my 35 yr old washer decide now is the time to die adds to the pile... Getting my bill for my ins through work and having it be $163 instead of the expected $123..again adding more. Having the Credit Union do me a favor and cover the $300 check that I was going to pay off over 4 weeks ...yup higher still.. having it be time for my friend to go home after helping me get thru the bad days after surgery...The cherry on the top. I will live..I will have food to eat..I can take my clothing to the laundry mat to wash and dry them as long as I don't lift too much and ruin the repair on my back...But GEEZE!!!!! Can't a girl get a brake just once in a while!!!!!!!! I'm going to take my whine and go to bed!! Nite Nite

Odds are.............

Today is fri aug 31. My friend Dee got here thur. and my dr's appointment today went as planned. My back surgery is scheduled for wed. I am so nervous!!!! I need the surgery. I can't function with this much daily pain. But having a medical background I know of several things that can go wrong. Odds are that I will be fine. Odds are that I will recovery at a normal pace. Odds are that I will be back to work in Nov as planned. Odds are that I will walk out of the hospital feeling so much better. Odds are......ya! right! Odds!!!!! I have never done anything the easy way in my entire life. Odds are I will continue the streak with this surgery. I won't be on line for several days starting sat morning. I have a lot of things to do to make it easier for my friend who is helping me before and after surgery. Odds are I will never be able to repay her or the other friends who have helped me sooooo much. Odds are I will be worried over nothing.... Gods I hope so. Just once may the odds be in my favor. But the odds are....................

Post-op!!!

Today is Sunday sept 9th. I am 4 days post-op. That means I have survived surgery. But OH! Bother! does it still hurt!!! I know I'm expecting too much too soon. So what else is new. And I did my usual not being the normal patient. I have what is called conjoined nerves. 2 nerves are fused together in a place that neither one should be located, and can't be separated. Not without permanent numbness or paralysis. The dr told my family and friends that I am the 1st case that he has seen and only 1 of 4 known of since 1886. So I get to be listed in the text books and research papers as 54yr old female patient. Yeah.....That and 2 lortabs will make me feel better. I have a very good friend here helping me. And I haven't tried killing her yet. As long as she doesn't organize anything more in my kitchen we will get along just FINE!!!( I say with clenched teeth and a smile) LOL! And she keeps me from trying to do too much...except for the soup I started cooking when she went out. Or the trip to the Indian store to get Dol for the soup and stopped at Burger King for a cheese burger!!! No I wasn't driving. another friend took me. I have more good friends than I can count on 1 hand. And Each one is just as special as the other. And I am getting very tired again. Time for a trip to the couch and chemical oblivion again. Drugs are our friends!!!!!

The date is set

My surgery date is now set. So between now and sept 5th I get to wait....and get nervous. Having been an LPN I know what could go wrong. I also know that I have one of the best neurosurgeons in the city. So getting nervous will be a waste of time. Tell that to my brain!!! But it is a relief to finally have a date so I can plan my life again. Now I have to survive all the friends who will offer and stop by to help. I have a nurses mentality. It is better to give than receive.......guess I will learn to get help for a change.

I see the light!!!

The light has finally arrived. The insurance check was for 8 weeks back disability wage replacement. After I get caught up on bills pay ahead on the house loan and buy groceries I will have enough to have a friend come up for the labor day weekend. And I can even buy myself a cheese burger from Burger King with our feeling guilty. $.99 and it caused guilt because I had only $1.25 left to my name checking and change in my purse. Sad isn't it. But I will get back on my feet after surgery and back to work and build up my savings again. I used to laugh when the financial people said you should have 1/2 a years wages in ready savings just in case. I'm a believer now. And I have such good friends. They will never know how much they helped. But I plan to let them know over the next few months. I alway say...Don't get mad...get even! This will be a good even..LOL!!!!!

Patience my ASS!!!!

Tues July 31st marked the 9th week since I started the paper work for my wage replacement disability insurance. First check is finally in the mail today. I never said I was a patient person. The older I get the less patient I become. But I think I did rather well waiting for them to get their ass's in gear. I only drove my friends mildly crazy,(ok maybe a bit more that mild). I did call the main number to ask the status of my claim every other day. And knowing that they would never give me the real address to their office I did not hoard gas in my car so I could drive east to "talk" in person. I did how ever learn who my friends are. And I was very surprised at the level of help. I will never be able to give back all they gave me. And I'm not just talking money, which did help a lot! They hauled my sorry butt to the store, vacuumed my living and dining room. Dragged me out to dinner or lunch or both to make sure I ate healthy more than once a week. And unhealthy at least once a week LOL! Even got dragged to the local casino and was given $20 to play with, which by a small miracle turned into $240 on the first machine. Yes I took the money and ran as fast as my crutches and I could hobble. They made sure I escaped to Kansas City for memorial week end. And 3 friends fought over who would help me buy a new outfit for my son's wedding. I may not be the most patient (ok any patience would be a big improvement) person on the planet but I do know that I have some of the best friends in the world. As soon as I can get back on my feet so to speak,I am going to pay them all back in my own way. And I will get even some time around 2057. Geeze there goes the water works again. SNIFF!! Must be getting a cold. Yeah, that's it a cold. Achoo?! =}
