Trish sounds great today

Trish is sounding and feeling great -- so I for one am optimistic about her biopsy tomorrow. It's almost 8pm and while I am sure someone knows when she will get the biopsy tomorrow -- it isn't us. Trish has asked and no one know for sure. I could probably email Dr. G and she'd tell me, but I don't want to bother her.

A day or so ago I wrote about the trickle of stuff coming into Trish's room -- well scratch that it has been a flood.... The aides on the floor are about to form a union. They are working too hard bringing stuff into Trish's room. Thanks for your support and keep the aides cranky. It's Trish we really care about.

On the insurance front and home front -- I think I am doing much worse than Trish. I think the boys may start stopping at McDonald's on the way home -- what can I say I was never much of a cook, but I am trying. The insurance thing is very frustrating and I think it will end badly or at least produce large amounts of stress for me. I have someone sending me something on alternative policies tonight. From what he said, we may have to wait until the Cigna policy runs dry before we can purchase a HIPPA guaranteed new policy - I think I am totally ready to move to Canada.

We have consulted a lot of folks on this and are very greatful for the help, but you would think this is not a totally uncommon problem and that there would be a clear answer on how to fix it.

You know we are the lucky ones. Our policy should get Trish through the transplant. We found out about another person who may not even get to the transplant because of insurance -- that's just not right. Many of us joke, that we are worth more dead, because of life insurance policies. That's just a fact - it is just incredibly sad, however, that we don't place a higher value on saving lives that have a good chance of being saved. It is just wrong.
