Hmmm

November 14, 2008

8 more days till we go to Stanford. I didn’t realize it was that soon. That means the insurance will definitely not approve the surgery by then. Which also means we’ll just be doing the routine checkup, turn around and make another appointment for next month and hope the insurance approves it by THEN. (Repeat for four months). We’ve been trying to get this approved since September, then we had to switch insurances. Good thing this isn’t urgent!

Also 9 more days until we go to Chico for our first “Thanksgiving,” and then that Thursday, we’re heading down to Carmel to have “Thanksgiving” with Doug’s parents. AND I get to meet the couple that own Guido now! We’ve been emailing for a few weeks now and I am so excited to meet them and see Guido again. For those of you who don’t know, Guido is one of the guide dog puppies I raised. He got all the way through his guidework training and then was “career changed” for a cataract. He is now with a blind man who wasn’t mobile enough to recieve a guide dog.

The Heart Is The Only Broken Instrument That Works…

November 14, 2008

I’m not going to go into details. I was given not so good news from the heart doctor. My blood pressure was way too high and my heart is beating too fast. I have to go in to have an ultrasound of my heart done, and get a bunch of bloodwork done too. I go back on the 24th, same day as my ultrasound. Doctor said he wants to see me right after.

And, I thought the insurance approved me going to the Stanford clinic, but it turns out not. So, now we have to do a long drawn out process with Stanford calling the insurance and the insurance calling my primary care doctor and primary care doctor calling Stanford…too confusing for me! At this rate, I might have the surgery by next Christmas. Maybe.

” TRUST in the LORD with ALL your HEART and lean not on your own understanding; in ALL things acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. ” Proverbs 3: 5-6

I’m just going to keep saying that. Not going to stress about doctors anymore! And it’s time to put my energy back into my school work too. *kicks self in butt* (See Di, now you don’t have to do it for me!):-P 

Speaking of schoolwork…I better go!
