Goodbye Rubber Tube... and other stuff



Tomorrow (Nov 5) I am going back to the hospital to get my "tube" taken out. I again will be "under" and hopefully will bounce back over the weekend. This is out patient so I will be home in my bed tomorrow night. I check in at 7 and if everything goes ok hope to be home healing by 4.

I went to Goodwill today to learn that my job no longer exists. Budget cuts. They are going to hire 2 people at 30 hours and eliminate my full time position. I think it won't work out in their best interest, but I don't make that decision. Hopefully other programs will be available when I am cleared to return to work. Otherwise I have to look at this as an opportunity to grow, learn, and move on to yet another adventure. Sigh. I also went to appeal the Social Security decision to not allow me to collect disability. Well, I learned that it takes about 5 months to get anything or any type of income. So Patti suggested we try unemployment. I just never ever thought of myself as one to collect such a benefit. Eye opening. So I really hope the Schrack's don't mind me... don't seem to be going anywhere any time soon.

Pancreas update... I called the nurse and she said that she is waiting for the insurance company to approve it. Could you just imagine if they said no?!?! WTF??! :) she hopes to hear from them sometime tomorrow, so my phone won't be ringing right away for a Pancreas. Lets just pray and hope that it comes within my current healing period so that I don't have to start a new job and then leave it within a few months.

I am still healing from last week. My belly is still really sore, so I will check in with the doctor tomorrow to assure everything is ok, which I am sure it is. It continues to be tender and sore as the Kidney sits in the front towards the pit of my stomach.

So, I sit and watch Old School for the 3rd time this week with two of my FAVS... Hannah and Bailee. I mean who can be sick of Old School, its a classic!! Love to watch them play with Noah and scream like kiddos!! Anyway, I have learned to re love Old School... You're my boy blue!

I will update again this weekend to let everyone know that the rubber tube/prom night dumpster baby is all gone.
