Saturday was so, so with me blowing the 18" away, while Adele tried to stay busy inside.
Sunday we went to church, sat in the balcony (to stay away from all the "Oh Adele, How are you doing?" people) and came home to enjoy the day. We did make the decision to stay home for the Super Bowl, and since we both were drained from the last week, a good decision.
Monday was a doctor appt for her, and I left her drive there. Gave her a chance to be normal for awhile, card shopping and all after the appt. Jim dropped off a meal, which we will use Tuesday night, as the steaks are already defrosted and ready for tonight.
Tuesday - and yet another doctor to see this morning. Adele is figuring out the disability form for Social Security. They want all the tests, diagnoses, doctors treating her, dates last worked, etc. That will take an hour or so to find and document. From what I see, Social Security's disability definition, fits her situation well. She should have no problem getting that designation. That will put her as retiring at 66 instead of 62 for the SS office and check. About 50% more in monthly checks.
We are still waiting on the Oncologist to get to us about when we will start the process here in Lancaster. The biopsy will be first and then chemo for 3 rounds. Then we can get to John Hopkins, renting a place to stay there, and further testing and treatments.
As before, the waiting to get going is one of the worst parts of this. We do have plenty of things to do, that can fill those gaps. It is just not a good time, waiting for everything to start.
Pray again for Peace. God takes care of the rest - we see Him working in all of this. No surprise there, just Joy when we see His input to Adele's problems.
Thanks - Rick

Adele, I'm glad you were able to get out and do some things on Monday. I can understand why you attending church and were in the balcony. We all love you but need to rely on the blog for our information.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like social security will be on your side at this point. God sure does know what we need and ways to help get us through out situation.
We're sorry youcouldn't be with us on Sunday but I'm sure you needed some chill out time.
We love you and know that God is with you. You are continually in our prayers.
It looks like lunch will have to be put off until we can dig out. The snow is beautiful but definitely dangerous.
When you feel like talking give a call.
Love,
Elaine
