Hi All

not sure if this should be here or more in the praise section but here goes (it is related to this thread, I may copy paste it to proper section  later)

1st point : called AARP ... can add insurance once membership is paid, effective date (if I can swing the money right) could be potentially effective Feb 1st (they only run month to month - in the manner all enrollments start on the first of the month, not partway through)

2nd point : saw Dr for my CTS (same Dr who did my shoulder) as I need a Dr that will confirm the carpal tunnel syndrome and be supportive for workers comp. he has ordered EMG's ( a test that can confirm the presence of CTS .. or not; is the only definitive test all else is subjective tests). while at appt he also examined my shoulder so I won't have to go back in two weeks (I asked the scheduler to check with Dr as the shoulder appt would otherwise have to be moved due to the insurance.

3rd point : while on the way to the bank to get money for the Rx's at pharmacy (one where I normally get my pills from) I decided to stop at a specialty pharmacy to pick up a DME item (I'm not specifying what it is but once deductible is met I can get 3 month supply for free of these particular supplies, back in Dec when I picked up something else I did ask to order these items) when I got there found out she had not so I explained the insurance change   ----> she will order them for me but use yesterday's date (as it was more her fault for not following up)

4th point : while at my normal pharmacy to pick up the pills (had dropped off the scripts the other day but was not sure which date they could be filled as the old Rx's had run out, I figured I may have dropped them off too early and insurance would not allow these to be filled until a certain date) scripts were written for a 90 day supply each but when i dropped the slips off I asked for only a 30 day supply (and had taken out enough $ at the bank for this). At the pharmacy counter I saw that these two scripts had been filled for 50 days, max allowed by insurance, when I saw this I almost protested but then realized if they were to be changed today it would cost me a whole lot more ... without insurance. I bought one of the two as I only had enough money for the two if they had been filled for 1 month each .. was short $6.00. I can get them later (spprt $ should be in bank possibly by Friday, not sure if spprt will be full amount or not)

5th point : after the bank stop I had stopped off at my church to drop off something and i felt the need to play a certain track off the News Boys CD  --> "Blessed Be His Name".  I sang with it, enjoying every verse.  I had been so pleased to have thought of the first pharmacy and with them ordering the supplies I needed. And then it came back again with the 'gift' (blessing) at the second pharmacy.  I realized too that through all this turmoil I should have gotten upset or broken down and yet my head is held high, the driving force of planning and thinking ahead and using common sense have all added to keeping me strong (and without God helping me hone some of these traits I probably would be in a heap).  was thinking on the way home on how much I've taken from my dad, my Mom and my oldest brother --> sifted through all the things taught (I mean these things when I say "taken") and honed the better things and discarded the unwanted or negative things. This has served to be the better blessing in the long run. And feeling driven in stopping at the places I did today made all this feel like such rich blessings (and only God would lavish us this richly)

please continue with prayers over the situations and that I don't falter (satan has a way of sometimes chipping away or try to pull the rug out) 

Love  and blessings to all

Hi All

not sure why ... but today feels like I'm faltering a bit, whether call from ae affected me (one of his better calls, [his tone reflects his mood, so this was not a bad one]) or concern over my cat (who has not been eating much, there is evidence that he is drinking), my pastor returned my call from yesterday so  I had updated him about some of the praises of yesterday but mainly to let him know ae was let go from his place of employment.  There is also an out of state issue I'm dealing with.

not sure what it is or if satan is chewing at the edges

I decided last night to bring the girl in with Warren so he wasn't alone and that they would not become 'foreigners'. this went well and I opened the door today to everyone but had to close off the food hopper so Warren would not get any of the 'former' food. In a way quarantine was easier for I could see what he had eaten and when he used the litter box. I've hardly seen him today (he's been somewhat just laying around -- not that active or visible), hopefully he'll join my lap for TV watching (of everyone he is my lap cat and will sit for hours on my lap while I watch TV, and purr during most of it)

updates to follow

am posting this here as well


""I called the vet this morning (for a couple of reasons) and will be on the call back list, the person I spoke to I asked to get word to one of the vets that another bag of saline will soon be needed (3 doses left), she will put me on a call back list, she also (assuming guessing)said that bloodwork may be needed to see if these IV teatments are helping.
somehow after the call ended I got the feeling that Warren's time is coming. it is also close to Feb 5th ( a date I chose 6 years ago for my beloved Snowball. which was the reverse of a date of not only one of my brothers but also my female tabby back  in 2002, May 2nd).

Warren was on my lap for over an hour last night with my TV shows but he did not purr ................    (something he so readily gave)

My thoughts have been to bring Warren to the next session when our church decides to make a new Church Directory as Topaz was in the last one and Warren is more accilmated to noises (as he was a retired show cat). In yesterday's bulletin there was an announcement for plans for a new directory.  .... and now this might not be a possibility   (and Sapphire is too easily spooked, Topaz was 'okay' in 2007 but he did get nervous).
