Trapped in a 3 Stooges movie...

Thank you all for your concern. Sigh........ I found out at 4:45 today that we do not have authorization from the insurance company to see the doctor in Dallas on Thursday. I found out about this by "accident" when I called to ask about another issue. Dr. Bill Williams told me last week that he was working on getting approval to go to Scott and White. I called the insurance company to see if they had made a decision. I was amazed to hear that we are approved to now see a doctor at S&W that we have no appointment with or have never contacted. However, we do not have approval to see the doctor we have spoken with for almost 3 weeks, have an appointment with day after tomorrow and have airline tickets.

I don't know what will happen but, I will be spending tomorrow figuring out how this has happened and whether we can still see the doctor in Dallas. If not, we will loose our airline tickets. The only thing I can think of to compare this is, a Three Stooges movie. Those of you that are younger, won't know what I am talking about but many of you will understand. This whole thing makes about as much sense as a Three Stooges movie.

I don't know if I am messing up somewhere or what is happening but, I was sure that all of that was taken care of. I can't find a confirmation number in my notes so, I cannot prove that we have ever had one. I always thought I was pretty good at communication but, I have to tell you, this is just beginning to be almost funny. I said almost.

So Claudette, I will let you know tomorrow whether this thing will fly.

John seems to be a little stronger. I think the increased tube feeding is helping quite a bit. He is having trouble with swallowing. I am hoping that this is still the effects of the radiation. I will be glad when we can do another scan. He took the dogs for a walk today, then rode with me to town to get a tetenous shot. (My left hand got torn up by a stray cat when the dogs scared it). So, never a dull moment around here.

Hope all of you are doing well and are having fun. I'll report back to let you know if we go to Dallas, or not.
