hello...

good morning!
how are you?
we are managing things...
some days just enough to get by...
LOL
DH sees the surgeon again on Wednesday...
hoping to get the sling off...
it will be 4 weeks then...
sending in my receipts to the insurance from the last four months...
we have been eating, have clean clothes and the floors are semi clean...
animals haven't missed a meal, either...
so we are good!
need to start some spring cleaning...
within reason...
this will be 4 weeks for Craig at the other store to help with their remodel...
then he will be going back to his store just in time for their remodel...
so he will stay on 3rd shift for awhile now...
its just been a bit of a struggle doing things around here for all of us...
be back when I get time!
be blessed!

I think I need this!

I would wear this proudly!
He still protects me!

taking a down day today...
the insurance pressure is off...
so going to catch our breaths for a bit...
do what needs to get done today and leave the rest for the weekend...

Craig may be doing more night shifts, but not sure which store...
waiting for his boss to let him know...
he does not mind the nights...
and he is doing good sleeping during the day...
its not like DH and I are a wild, noisy bunch anyway...
LOL
we're too old and too dilapidated for that...

that old guy and I have been together 40 years now...
probably going to keep him at this stage in life...

have good days, might not be back until next week...
we got some catching up to do here...
be blessed and know that God loves you!

hello! with update!

 

hey out there!
it's another day with a one armed man!
LOL
we only have 2 more weeks of the sling, so we are half way through this!
still trying to get my insurance fixed...
praying for an answer to all of this...
and for it to be over with...
last weekend, one of our neighbors mowed our yard for us...
Craig only has 3 more days of the night shift at a different store and then he goes back to normal, we think...
life is all about adjustments...
and we have been making them...
we are all ready for our normal mayhem, that's for sure...
so have the best kind of day and know that God loves you so much!
stay blessed!
UPDATE!!!!
I GOT MY INSURANCE BACK!!!
PRAISE GOD!

oh boy...

first off, DH is doing good with what he has to deal with...
and we are managing it...
kind of, lol...
spent 3 hours today on the phone trying to get my insurance straightened out...
and this morning I got ahold of someone who now claims that the plan I have been on the last 3.5 years and should still be on for another 3.5 years...
has never existed...
there was never a plan called pre 65 medical and rx coverage for the spouse of a retiree...
but, on their website, its the plan they have me listed under...
yep...
and according to BCBS of Illinois, its the plan I have been under until they changed things this year...
and that they messed up with my plan and sent the wrong information...
and not only have they knocked me off the rx plan, most of the medical is gone now, too...
I will be calling them every day until this gets fixed...
I am also going to call around and find a plan on my own to cover me until it is fixed...
it's just insane...
pray for us...
have a blessed day...

have a super blessed weekend!

Doug does blood work on Thursday...
Craig has been sent to work at another store an hour away for 2 weeks...

Doug and DH are heading to wally world to do a pick up order...
I got it ordered yesterday and picked out a time...

DH's surgery went very well...

bumpy a bit last night with pain...

but we got some sleep early this morning...

pain is down now and he is on his computer in the recliner...

Craig took Jody to the airport this morning and her flight just took off...

he will be home in a couple of hours...

just hanging out until lunch time and doing another nap after more pain meds are down...

God is good and we can do this with his help...

have a blessed day...
