Many prayers that this will work.  It must be so frustrating!   You seem to deal with it so positively but man.. it's gotta drive you crazy,

Sending you many positive vibes that this will be the last time and it will all work out!!!!

Hugs,

Hello Jackie,

Thank you. I am not so positive believe me....That is the main reason I have been kind of MIA lately....... I have been wallowing in self pity....... Just don't want to bring anyone else down with me so it's been better staying away. 

How are you feeling?

Oh Linda..my heart breaks for you!   I think about your situation all the time...always hoping we see that the stricture witch is gone!   Is Disability an option???
Hoping and praying for a better outcome soon...

Hello Kim,

Nope disability is not an option.  only pays 60% of my income......not enough!  I am a single mom.  I took five weeks off and it almost killed me financially...  at this point... I just have to hope that it works

Thanks for the prayers

I am praying that this WILL work.  In the meantime, someone once told me that California has some type of short term disabiltiy...when this WORKS you won't have to worry about this...but maybe an option!

Prayers for you my friend....God bless you

Definitely look into disability. It pays 66 2/3% of your salary.  I've been told this is what we our take home pay is. They don't tax disability so it might be the same amount you're taking him right now.  I so understand being between a rock and a hard place when it comes to needing income or taking care of our health.  I used all my vacation and sick time for my surgery in May. SIGH!

Good luck!

I wish I had an answer for you as far as your finances.  Let's just pray the stent takes and no surgery will be needed.

Wow linda... I really hope this will finally fix things for you. I would hate to go through what you have been through but I know from your story that it's a possibility and I am bracing myself just in case. My prayers are with you that this will finally work (as your 1 year surgiversary approaches! Huzzah!) Thank you for all the support you've given me on this journey. You are really an inspiration!
I'll see you on friday hopefully!
