HURRY UP AND WAIT

Check out my scar, I think it looks darn good. Once the rest of the swelling goes down, it'll hardly be noticeable.

So what's new around here? First of all, we're loving this cooler weather. I picked Colby up today for the 1st time in 10 days! Mom helped me get him into his wheelchair and we took him outside to practice driving. He's made a lot of progress, although much more practice is needed. It warms my heart just to see him out there, driving, jabbering, turning. He's been a total sweetheart over the last couple of weeks. He's very patient with everyone who took care of him while I couldn't. He's growing up! I love it and hate it all at the same time.

Back to both jobs. Typed my normal schedule and worked at the hospital this week.

Finally, FINALLY I think Colby's backup bi-PAP has been approved. I just loved it when Apria said insurance wouldn't cover a backup. I said sure they will, just about every SMA family I know has a backup, just order the dang thing! Then Humana needed this, then needed that. Blah, blah, same old crap. So I contacted Colby's pulmonologist at Cincy Children's to get the proper documentation and I think we should be getting it soon. Considering his old backup is being held together with packing tape and the handle has rotted completely off, it can't come soon enough. Always exciting in SMA land to get a new piece of equipment approved.

Two thumbs up for the homemade summer sausage my stepdad made. It's darn good! Had that and cheese and crackers for supper. Okay, and beer, too. So Kenny, if you're reading this, I'll be more than happy to take some more of it off your hands.

Don't you just hate it when you're trying to get something done, but you have to wait for someone or something else to happen? Or sometimes it seems time just creeps along, especially when you're waiting for answers, or this needs to happen on someone else's end before you can move forward on your end, etc. Seems like when anyone calls needing something from me, they need it ASAP, but it certainly changes if I'm calling them needing something. WAITING to get my pathology reports. WAITING to move forward on getting a house. WAITING for my prince charming to come along or to win the lottery (I think I have equal chances at those last 2, slim and none). Come on already, let's move on with it.

Have a great weekend everybody.
