Thank you everyone for thinking of me. Been busy
getting no help from all the wonderful(not)
organizations that supposedly help people who are
indigent. Sold my car to pay for surgery(Nov 6th), BUT
even so, it is considered a transfere of assets since
it took place withen the llast 6 months, and therefore
disqualifies me from getting certaian benefits, such as
ssi(still have not gotten my ssd determination) and was
declined for medicaid as I had only just gotton my tax
refund and i had more than the allowable assests in the
bank at one time during the month that i filed(one
round of paying bills took care of that) the growth is
scaring me cause it is changing, it is getting smaller,
and the texture of the surrounding tissue is changing
to a rougher texture much like the rough patch that I
had for years before the growth emerged and grew so
fast, also there seem to be other tiny areas of
concern, BUT the ENT refused to schedule a pre-op appt
to check it out, which tics me off as I really would
only want to go down under the general anesthesia once,
rather than multiple times if these other areas should
be cut out as well! the cost is such I will NOT be able
to pay for another surgical incident AND if I have to
wait on all the other agencies to get off their butts
to help me I will be stage 4 before anything gets
approved it seems!
The rest of my days are much the same as always,
Daughter has lousey, abusive boyfriend number?(i have
lost count) Grandbaby is doing great in spite of a
stressfull "home" life least for the moment. other
daughter, the 20 yr old not looking for work, still not
competent enough to take her driving test(maybe she
never will be able to handle a car) and my 16 yr old
son is busy doing his thing and no time to help mom. So
I continue to play taxi to my 11 yr old 4 out of 5
school days getting her and her cello to and from
school and she is also volunteering at the local
libray( the librarian waived the 13 yr old minimum age
requirement out of consideration for my daughters
current stress situation of having lost so many of here
core family members in such a short time and now living
with my cancer hanging over our heads the more she is
out of the house the better for now, trying to live a
normal busy kids life. I still manage to mow the grass
and do all the cooking and chores( I tried to take a
week off and really paid a high stress and physical
price, no food was cooked that they could not dump out
of a can or rip out of a freezer bag, the laundry piled
high and we ran out of clean towels and underwear, even
tho i spent the week asking politely and then demanding
help, my 11 yr old was the only one who even tried and
we were both frazzled. so I struggle with the
depression and paste a happy smile on my face and try
hard to pretend for her sake that I am feeling okey
dokey and keep pushing. I am on Facebook for anyone
wishing to add me. I will update my profile someday and
I add pics as I can.
and gain Thank You all, I hope I haven't overloaded you
with the grumbling.. it seems a hopeless situation
especially having to depend on government
assistance(that I cant seem to get, except if I were
young and preggers I would have the world at my feet i
guess)
Have a Great Night,
Penny
