People Magazine

I will be making an appearance in PEOPLE MAGAZINE tomorrow. My neighbor from Apple Tree Farm who put on the Pony/Horse ride fundraiser contacted them to inform them about the event and my struggles. They were here last week and did a photo shoot of my family and Alison (our awesome neighbor). I can not thank her enough for all her efforts. She has really gone above and beyond trying to help us. She is an angel. Her staff and riders have also been tremendous and supportive. We could not ask for better neighbors and friends. That is why it is so depressing to think that if we sell our house where we will end up. Just not fun to think about.

They are doing article on heroes that are helping out people in need in the down economy/bad times. It is a short article, but it is still very cool to be able to say that I am in people magazine. One part of the article is about the insurance company not paying for my meds. The author of the story had to call my insurance company to verify this was true. Ever since the insurance company has called me at least five times. They have offered me ideas and sources that might be able to help out. It is really funny how they react with a little pressure and exposure. It should not be this way, but the squeaky wheel gets the oil. It is so true.

Otherwise, I am doing OK. Still very tired and napping a good amount during the day. Today was a good napping day, about 3 hours. I needed it though. My hands and feet have been soar but manageable. I have a doctor's appointment next Tuesday (Nov. 11th). This will be a big day to see if the drugs are working. The waiting game is not fun. The word that I have used in the past and will use again is grinding. The thoughts of fear and anxiety just grind in your mind.

Kath has been crazy busy with work. She works several hours a night to keep up. This makes it tough on her to do most of the house work and take care of her work. This is the most frustrating thing for me, not being able to help around the house as much as I would like. She is so amazing to keep going day after day, dealing what we are dealing with. She is so strong. I don't know what I would do without my soul mate. I love you Katherine.

Alek is starting to really get his personality. He is a crazy little guy. He wants to start walking. He is standing and holding on to anything he can reach. He is walking along the couches, walls and coffee tables. It you hold is hands he will walk around the house. (As I am writing this he and Kath come walking around the corner). This is scary but also so exciting. He is constantly smiling and laughing. He is the ultimate ball of joy. He is AWESOME.

Well not much else to report here. Please feel free to join the follower area of my blog. It would be great to see who is following on a consistent basis.
