Well, today was supposed to be an exciting day for dad - CAT scan day. Yes, I said supposed to be. His insurance denied it; darn it. He was really looking forward to it. Not so much the actual procedure but the end result of actually knowing if all that he is going through is making a difference or not. They did reschedule it for Friday, May 1st, because the doctor's office was going to appeal it.
He has been trying to do a few little plumbing jobs just to generate some income and so that he wouldn't be so bored at home. When I talked to him last night he felt like his health was declining again. He hasn't been using the oxygen very much but yesterday he came home from working and put it on and decided to sleep with it on as well. He said he just isn't feeling as well as he has the last couple of weeks.
The lift for the van is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. That will be very helpful for dad. Mom has let Aunt Charlene use her scooter and so mom is using a much heavier electric chair. This has limited their ability to be as mobile because the chair is just too heavy for dad to lift in and out of the van. (Aunt Charlene, whom has been a tremendous help for mom and dad has to have knee replacement surgery on May 5th or 9th - I can't remember for sure. Keep her in your prayers as she has been a great support for mom and dad despite dealing with her own health issues.)
As for dad's other issues, I don't know if the doctors have resolved any of them. Some things a daughter just doesn't want to know!!!! :0)

sorry to hear that you guys have to go through this stuff with the insurance company over the scan. It stinks.
I hope you have a better weekend and feel better.

Hi all,
We finally got the carrier for my power chair so I can use it. We aren't sure if I will be able to load and load it myself yet but it is much easier for Larry. So we are mobile again. We want to thank you all for your good wishes, prayer, cards and donations to the funds for our needs. We appreicate you all so much. Larry has his good and bad days. I can tell he is a bit better he is giving me a hard time as usual. We have enjoyed spending time with friends and family these last few months. We have shared tears and laughter and lots of love. You all are what has kept us going. I wanted to tahnk you all so much. With working and taking care of Larry and myself I haven't been able to talk to everyone so I appreciate my daughter and her family doing this blog and everyday I go on to see if they added and to read the comments you all leave. They have been so encouraging I wanted to thank you all.
Sherry
