EDITED TO NOTE CHANGE IN DATE...I WROTE THIS IN OCTOBER, NOT DECEMBER!!!
I wish that I had a whole plethra of wonderful things to tell you.....alas I do not. I will deal with the good news first though....
Randy's surgery was a success. He is feeling fine.
The insurance company has approved Rueben's treatment. I had to sign away my life to pay for our 20% of it, at almost 100.00 a day. But, it is all worth it. I hope his therapy is a success. Also, there is a cap on it, so he should be out of the program within 40 days.
We have really enjoyed having Steven home with us the past 8 days. We have been able to spend a lot of time with him and a little time with his girlfriend. But all of it has been high-quality time. I'm sure we will enjoy the next week and a half or so that he has left, but I'm sure that his departure this year will be much harder on us....all of us. This will be his first holiday season away from the family. We are all counting down the months until he can leave the desert and come home for good.
Randy's recovery has been interesting. He is hoping to be back at work tomorrow instead of waiting the 2 weeks he is supposed to. It sounds as if one of the doctors released him, so he'll be happy to go back to work I'm sure. He's a work-a-holic so his withdrawals have been horrible. But he will be back at work by tomorrow so that should make him happy. He is so insistant on being able to decide what he's going to do. I just hope he doesn't do too much too fast and cause himself harm. That would mean he would have to miss work, and I know he doesn't want to do that.
I am off now. Rueben's therapy has been increased to 3 hours a day, so I have research to do and paperwork to fill out. It's just like having a part time job as I am away from home 20 hours a week. I just wish it was fun I was having, or money I was being paid.....and we do hope to see a difference in him too.
Until then........................................
