How Far Will Happy Go

As I have posted in previous blogs, I have a rare automunne disease that has been slowly killing me. It's like a combination of Lou Gharigs, Parkinson, MS, etc. It's a long slow painful illness and the treatment was beyond my means even though Medicare approved it. But there was the part about the 20% co pay of $6000 a month. Living on disability is hard enough, but it was an impossible situation for me to get this treatment. But God has other plans for me. I'm pretty sure He want to keep me around. Especially after surviving breast cancer twice. Soooo....

My neuologist is the one who actually did the research and came up with a treatment for my disease and she is going to make sure that the 20% copay is waived so that I can get the treatment! It will take a few months for my body to build up an immune system because right now, I don't have one. Then a nurse will come to my house to give me the infusion 5 days a week for 3 to 6 months, depending on how I do. I will also have a provider come to my house and help with housework and errands four days week. I'm think that I still am in shock that it really is going to happen! I feel so blessed by God, that I'm about to burst with joy!

My doctor said that she could tell that I was the type of person that God had a purpose for and that she wasn't going to sit back and let me die. God has blessed me again. I don't know what I did to deserve this, but I know that He must love me a whole lot!

I don't know of anyone who is more excited about getting chemo that is going to make them deathly ill, but I am! I would much rather go through 6 months of hell than to die this slow death.

So to my regular readers out there, well.... you're just going to have to put up with my happiness for a long time now!
