A productive day makes this lady happy!!! :)

Today seemed pretty productive........although I am still exhausted (last night wasn't as bad as I thought it would be), I got to do a lot of follow-up calls, see an attorney and organize my desk at home. My cold/cough actually felt a LOT better today so I am think I am finally on the mend! YEA! :)

Finished up my 'notebook' for the attorney. Made copies of all my medical records, physicians reports, info on my tumor, Cyberknife (Stanford machine) vs. Brainlab (Sharp machine) info, etc.... It was all organized with tabs for my 'timeline', doctors, tumor info, all the 'tests' I have had, MRI/CT, etc.... The notebook just keeps growing!

The attorney I met with specializes in health insurance. He knows quite a bit about dealing with them. So, we went over my situation and discussed details of all that's been going on. He was a very nice man. My intention of my visit today was to just see what possible 'chance' I had in dealing with my insurance company. I am not looking to have an attorney fight this for me, right now. In time, I will know more of what I need to do (or not do). It was a good meeting and I felt like I got some really good information from him.

Did some other phone calls and finally talked to Connie from the SD Brain Tumor Foundation. She gave me a lot of info and is sending me some paperwork to apply for a grant from them. They can give up to $2-4K in grant money to go towards medical bills. It ALL adds up!! :)

Today's Daily Affirmation:

"I am grateful for the gift of possessing inner strength.

I am able to face any struggle with the love that emits from my heart." - unknown author

I do feel that even though each day seems to be a major challenge, my inner strength does get stronger and stronger. Things are coming together, slowly but surely.

Night! :)
