LONG, LONG SUMMER

Nothing really exciting has happened this summer. Went to my Doctors, therapist, and spent more money on health care than I wanted to. Lymphedema therapy is very expensive.
The compression bandage supplies were $74.50 and the sleeve was $100. Insurance will not pay for these items and I am going to sent in a copy of my bills and find out why since this was caused by my having the lymph nodes removed that were related to my breast cancer. Insurance has you by the balls and they just keep on busting them.
Oh well life goes on.

Mac has still not found a job. He is discouraged but it is hard at 62 to find someone to hire you. Now if I could just get him to do all the housework and cooking. Oh how I dream.

We have cut back on a lot of things to save money. He really misses the premium channels on cable. Thank goodness the price of gas has come down a little, now if we could get the grocery prices to go down it would be great.

The big news is that I finally got a perm. I decided that the stringy look was not for me. A guy named Hector did my hair. It only took him 70 minutes from start to finish. I have never had a quicker hair stylist. He comes from New Jersey and was very nice. I look like me again.

It won't be long before I have more scans and such. Hope they all come back negative for the big "C".

Stay cool and keep in touch with me. Love as always.
