A start to a healthier us!

Two of us started physical therapy.   One for a knee... and myself for my back and hip.. hopefully the therapy will help... last night was in a lot of pain.  

We go today to find out today hopefully when John's surgery is for his kidney cancer  (stage 1 renal cell carcinoma).   We're both nervous and excited...

Nervous because well it's a surgery...
Excited because it's a start to a healthier husband.
The excitement outweighs the nervousness.

It's so very important to get cancer screenings done every 6 months to a year.... I think this should be a routine exam.   It doesn't take much to do a cancer screen and caught early it can be removed...

Insurance companies want to save money.. I think cancer screenings would save a lot of money.  It would save weeks, months of chemo and other cancer drugs.. most cancers can be cut out and removed.. and your in remission if caught early... But, others it's much much harder to get them often leading in death....
My opinion... Life is so much more precious than any amount of money.. But, insurance companies only see that $$$$$$$....

Well I'm going to finish my coffee and get ready to go with John to the dr... Will post later...

God Bless

Frustrated but NOT Defeated

Well we found out today that John has a hearing with the disability hearing office at the end of July.... and that some money we have coming to us from our previous county hasn't been processed....   You would think when someone has cancer that the government would get off their butts and approve disability.... But, that's the government for you.

On the plus side.. We got an appointment for John closer to home to have surgery.. So, instead of a 2 hour drive it will only be about 20 mins....

One of the girls and I started Physical Therapy this week..

It's ok to be frustrated just as long as you don't let it defeat you.  You have to remain positive no matter how things appear to seem... God doesn't shut one door not to open another.


God Bless

Back and at 'em

Got my laptop back up and running.. without a new battery.. My granny is doing pretty good.. Thank you Jesus for answering prayers.. Still haven't gotten John's settlement but it's coming soon..  I can feel it....

With God all things are possible.. That's something we seem to easily forget...

I was asked "how can you stay so calm when everything looks so bad"...well that's easy to answer... I put it all in God's hands.. If I hang on to it and keep trying to do things my way it would never work out... I let God guide me in the things I need to do and the way I need to handle things...  I am thankful everyday that I am able to wake up and spend precious time with my family.. We are not guaranteed the next moment, day, week, month or  even year... But what we are guaranteed is when we wake up we get to enjoy whatever time on this earth we have left...

Remember to hug those you have and to make memories that last...

God Bless
