New Crisis For My Family

[gadgetman]

I'm trying too. Never been in this position before, so it's very frustrating and uncomfortable. They don't seem to be in any hurry to get things done, so I wonder, does the samething apply to how they get paid?

Ross,

I know the feeling of the slow moving Doctor's calendar. When I was working I did not get paid if I wasn't there. My job as a driver required me being there by 9 AM each morning and my route could be as long as 7 or 8 hours. So even an hour appointment wasted a whole day for me (WITH NO PAY). My Doctor wanted me to go to a class for Diabitics. Checked the info for the class and it was 4 hours long for 3 days. He also referred me to several specialist that seemed not to want to make appointments on the same day. I'll also not mention the number of times I took off only to be called by the Doctor's office that they were having to reschedule my appointment. Another day wasted. They seemed to be on a different calendar than this working stiff. Sure didn't affect their payday.

Hope you can get them "motivated" to get things moving quicker. We continue to send our prayers and good thoughts for both of you.

May God Bless,

Danny

Ross, very sorry that things aren't looking too good for you. But, as others have already noted, keep the faith. I know it is tough.

*sighs*

Despite finally getting the older 4 MCs out yesterday for the 1st time this year, the last couple days I've been rather melancholy because I'm beginning to "fret" over what the future has in store for me now that I'm "employable". But, after reading your report about the recent events...I feel slightly guilty for "fretting" over my situation when, at least right now, it does not appear quite as dark/bleak as yours.

Still...as you know...this, too, shall pass. Gotta keep the faith...somehow!

Thoughts/prayers continue to come your way, of course.

Hi Ross....

Hi Ross....

Not much I can say here except I am sending up all the prayers that I can give that things get better for you and Lynn. I know what the kidney pain is like from having my Kidney's operated on last year, and so I know how Lynn is feeling. Please know that you both are in my thoughts and prayers all the time these days.

Ross, you are like my husband in so many ways (most of them having to do with the subject your mind is on 99% of the time! )

Care to elaborate? Oh and by the way, it's more like 99.9%.

Then pray for ME!!!!! Glenn goes in for surgery on Monday for a perotic gland cyst. (They feel it is most likely just a cyst.) He'll be off work for a week and that's really going to cramp my style!!!!!

Wonder if he'll be spunky when it's done? If so, your in trouble!

 

[hensylee]

there aren't any words to make it better, but we are trying anyhow. Some of us with thoughts, some of us with words, most of us with prayers. All of us with waiting with you.

Ross:

You need to find a publisher for this saga! That should help with some of your financial worries. So glad you can still smile and find humor in everything. That's the best tonic for whatever ails ya'. You've got a bunch of people behind you and praying for you. Hang in there!

 

[Ross]

While this is terrible for us, it may serve as a lesson to someone else should it happen to them in the future. The way things are now, I'm more then certain it will affect someone here in the not to distant future.

I have been reading your posts and had a thought that at one time I used back in 1979 when I had my first OHS. I remember making a pact with a higher power that anything they wanted to send my way I would deal with but I needed the guarantee that my family then would never be the "patient". So far so good but lord I did not know what was coming for me. I do find it so much easier being the "professional patient". Lynn's illness is not fair---go scream obscenities at the night sky.

Well I would except with my luck, that would be the night that an unknown comet comes streaking from no where straight into me. I think I'm safer inside.

 

[Glenda]

Ross, like everyone else. You & Lynn are in my daily prayers. Remember when you're down and out, things could be worse. Remember God is always in control and He is still on the throne. When I turn things over to Him instead of "me" trying to handle it, things come out so much better. Thank goodness you still have your sense of humor and please remember that we are all here for you.

Dear Ross,

I think you must realize by now that safety is an illusion. If you want to scream at the night sky, scream away. Comets can hit houses, too.

Ross:
Hey Buddy!
I am so sorry to hear about Lynn. I want you both to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, ALWAYS!
I know you think you can't handle one more problem and that it just isn't fair for you to go through all this crap. But, God must know you are a strong person and think you have big shoulders. His word says " He will not give you more than you cn handle." I trust he has his eyes on you and is watching over you and Lynn!
I hope all turns out well for you both.
If you need me, you now where to find your GA buddy!!!!

Take care, Loves to you all!
Janice

Hey good to see you and welcome to my home and family!

I want so terribly bad to believe it Janice. Fact of the matter is, we've been pounded so many times, that it's becoming difficult to believe anymore. I'm trying, believe me.

 

[Karlynn]

You know Ross, it's okay to get mad at God. Rail at Him, yell, tell Him off. Jesus did. God can take it.

I truly don't understand "why bad things happen to good people". I probably never will on this side of heaven.

 

[hensylee]

Just a hello, thinking of y'all.

 

[Ross]

Well we are back from the renal scan. The unofficial word is, the kidney is NOT functioning at all. The only places the isotopes even lit up were where the kidney is leaking blood. Bare in mind, this is the unofficial word. The official comes on Monday after the Surgeons visit.

 

[Phyllis]

So sorry to hear that Ross, I know this will be a anxious weekend for you and Lynne. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
