It's today! We leave at 9:45 to arrive at 10:15 (how fortunate are we to have such a close LLMD?). His appointment begins at 10:30 and suspect will run until noon or so. I'm not sure how much time they have slated for him. Majority of the time, the first office visits are with his nurse, but I specifically requested that we go ahead and start off with our LLMD since he knows Rob's situation already during my appointments. Rob's already had the microscope test too and my doctor was sitting in during part of that.
So pray that I get through this day without major tear production. It's scary knowing we're about to embark on another very expensive adventure and hopefully we'll be able to handle this. We just had to "handle" the last bit of my medical bills by doing something drastic. Since selling our vehicles isn't an option (we've had the truck on the market for the last 6 months without so much as an offer), we decided to let the credit union buy it back. So now we're back to monthly payments on the truck.
Not to talk to much about the financial end of things because that is not why I created this blog, but the debt was overwhelming. We were paying in interest on our credit card each month about 300 dollars. By letting the credit union buy our car so we could buy it back, we will be able to pay off most of the credit card (and by next month the balance will be ZERO!!!!! Praise God for having such a smart husband who knew such thing could be done), we will probably save a ton each month even if you add in the car payment.
So we're back to Zero and now we're starting the beginning treatment for Rob. I just want to say WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Hopefully his treatment won't be anywhere near the expense that mine was. If it is, so help us. God will Provide ... I just don't know where it will come from. The last time we needed God to provide, he provided it in the form of NC WAGES check. NC Legislature how now removed that from Smart Start Funding.
With all the changes at work lately, I've had to repeat the following ...
When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something else. ~ Author Unknown

You are both in my prayers. May the Lord guide the doctor and bless you both with strength, courage and the wisdom needed to move forward. Can't wait to see how things go. The financial burden can be great indeed. We are devastated in that respect. After my long illness, our life savings is gone to say the least. Thankfully, our LLMD takes insurance and so far, our insurance is paying a percentage of his treatment. Whew!
Hope all goes well. May the Lord bless you both!
Ours generally doesn't take insurance. We have been blessed in the last little bit and he has been graciously filing for us. Most things aren't covered, but it is going towards the deductible so in the long run other things may wind up being covered. We'll see. I have *yet* to reap any benefit for him filing for us, but it's kind of him to do so.
