Lots of things going on again. Jim has more Rehab today and Friday. We did find out how to get our gas mileage paid for and also how he can do the Ride share, so I dont have to take him. But he also has an unexpected but good appointment with another PCP at 7:30 this am. We were not expecting him to get in until later, like in a month or more. But, since his condition is as it is, they pushed him up and were able to get him in a little quicker. This doctor will kind of be like the hub just like our own PCP to refer him to any type of specialists he may need. He has also signed up for ADAPT over in Waxahachie. partially by the government. I had been there before my Medicare came in, and still could go if I wish. But, they do a sliding fee for those without insurance and so forth. They have lots of different programs, for PTSD, Depression, and all of the other mental issues people may have in the county. When I first went, it was not all that busy. But now, the waiting line can be a month or MORE just to get in for an evaluation! Which really tells me just how badly Elly County is with people that have no insurance, and are mentally fighting off issues from depression etc... with the loss of jobs, and all that is going on in our world... the idea of a psychologist almost is appealing to ALL in the county! His Cardiologist appt went fine. The doctor was good and seemed to think anything to do with Jims heart function, and even blood pressure seemed to not be an issue at this time. They will monitor him and then in a month or so when we are more settled with some of this other stuff, he is going to have an echo-cardiogram done. As I told him, with his left shoulder still as stiff and in pain as he is, there is no way he could stand how to have to lay when they are being done. So, he is waiting at least a month before going to have that done. His glasses were not right! So, he had to go in next Monday and have his eyes rechecked to find out what the problem was... which sucks, but it happens... We hope to be just about finished with doctors other than a Neurologist, which is a huge one he needs, and is hard to find... so that one we are still working on... I am supposed to run back to the dentist tomorrow am. I think I could have either a partial dry socket going on or maybe infection... not sure... it began giving me some issues Saturday, and has just not stopped giving me hell with sharp pain off and on just like a cavity would if a root was exposed. But, I will see how it does this morning... if it dissipates itself by the evening I will just cancel that appt. I see him a week from this Friday to start the next round to get all of the impressions made, and the first pair of dentures/mini posts started.... not looking forward to that... I have a very LONG blog post I am working on, and will post a link if I ever get it completed..!!! It may be a couple of posts rather than just one huge one... take care...we have to get ready... he has to be in Waxahachie at 7:30 am Whoopie! Yuck! Hugs to you and yours!
