Sweet hubby was diagnosed with prostate cancer a few months back and had his second follow up (they decided to just monitor as it wasn't too bad). Well his PSA droppped and that rarely happens so needless to say we are singing praises around here. He not only takes care of me but also his 93 yr. old mom every day so we really need him healthy. Our awesome God is doing it again!!!

I finally have a date for my gall bladder surgery.  The nurse at the surgeon's first tried to give me August 15th, but my daughter can't drive me that day, coz she babysits.  So, the next day she and the surgeon's nurse could get together on is August 27th.  Praise oh praise the Lord.

I also got approved for free medication assistance for generic Lovenox.  Another huge praise.  

Must scoot.  Would still appreciate prayer for the surgery to go smoothly.

Hugs and Love,

Trish

Hi Karen,

I did get the package today.  When I arrived home, on Monday, there was a card in my mailbox, letting me know I had a package waiting for a signature.  I had misplaced it, but found it last night, signed it and put it in my mailbox for the letter carrier to redeliver it Monday.  Turns out, she had it on her truck when she delivered my mail this afternoon.  So, she brought it to my door.  

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  I'm so grateful for your help.

I'm still going to call Novartis, the company offering the medication assistance for generic Lovenox.  Right after I get done recuperating from the gall bladder surgery, I need to get some dental work done.  In the meantime, I need new tires on my car, and the air conditioner repaired.

Love and Hugs,

Trish

Oh I so understand! I 'bout died the first time I had to pay for the lovonox!! Even with my insurance coverage if I buy it local I have to pay $200-$400 for a couple of weeks worth. The only way I can really get a break on it is if I plan surgeries, etc. far enough ahead that I can order it thru mail order then i can get 3 mos. worth for $40, it must just kill the ins. to pay that little for a few thousand dollars worth of drugs. By the way did you get my little package I sent? I know there is also a way to get free or low cost drugs from the manufacturer, that might be an alternative too. My mom used to have a $300 a month drug that she got for free from them for as long as she needed it. Also maybe Salvation Army or Goodwill would have money for things like that. Or even maybe an unspoken love offering thru your church. We've done that a few times at churches I've gone to. The Pastor just announces that there is member of the congregation with unexpectedly high medical needs and any contribution would be appreciated. Of course we don't just hand over cash but make arrangements to pay for whatever is needed. Of course I will still keep praying that this will all work out for you. God bless!

Oh man it just never ends does it?! I pray for ya every night so will add this too. I keep asking God what is it I'm not understanding that I keep having health issues but I guess I'm still not getting it. Sometimes I wonder why folks like us have one thing after another and others seem to just sail along. Even the Christian folks sometimes seem to have it so much easier but we never seem to catch a break. Then I have to be real and realize it could be so much worse. Yeah our heat pump may have died (no surprise after 15 yrs) but we did have a credit card we could put it on. Just a thought sometimes high schools or colleges have automotive classes where you can get work done cheaper than normal. Anyway I'll continue to pray for financial help. By the way how is the son who was in the accident and how is SIL doing, did he get rid of the kidney issues? God bless!
