Well.  Another HOT day.   In the high 90s.

I went out only once, after lunch to go to the bank and buy the things I was missing to make a batch of chili.

I heard from my favorite nurse, Debra, and from Humana, my insurance company that my process has been approved.   I expect to hear tomorrow that I will get my PETSCAN and  biopsy early next week.   Debra is working So hard for me.

Still playing the waiting game.    I called Humana and got a different story from the doctor.  So I called the doctor back and they cannot proceed until they get confirmation on THIS event from Humana.    So I am pickle in the middle.

Debra from the doctor's office promised to contact Humana in the morning and try to get things going.    If I can just get a good night's sleep.   Last night was hell.

Bart stopped by this afternoon with our Abby for a visit.   A bright light in my day.



Pray for some answers and appointments for tomorrow!!!!!

Waiting is the hardest thing to do.    If I have not heard anything by noon tomorrow, I am going to make some calls myself to see what is the delay.

Wouldn't be so bad but this all started three weeks ago when they delayed my knee scoping because of a "shadow" on the lung.     Good thing, actually as there is a mass.   But NOW there were delays because of holidays, weekends and WAITING FOR HUMANA TO APPROVE THE NEXT STEP!!!!  What do they think?

Woke up to RAIN.    Good timing actually.   Tru Green was out on Saturday and Dan mowed on Friday so my lawn is leaping for joy:)

Talked to Dolores yesterday and Nora today.   It means SO much to have conversations during the day.  Miss my condo buddies for that:) 

Went to the 8:30 Mass in the rain.  Came out to sunshine,  wearing my raincoat and carrying my umbrella.   Better to be prepared.

Nicky is accepting that the backyard is his to use as a bathroom.   He is not happy about it but I am afraid to take him for long walks when my knees hurt this much and I am so unsteady.   I gave the doctor's a deadline as I AM going to England and Wales in late September!

I am tired all the time but am working on getting black cow shapes for my wall hanging.   Sound weird but I have this vision and Dick used to say - "OH no.   Mary's got a vision."   (because it had to get done:) (At least in my mind.)

So.   Stay Well.

Until we meet again!
