First good nights sleep in 2 weeks

Quickly losing signal for internet, and I slept in till almost sunrise. Calls come across but after sunrise, internet pages only freeze here.
When I drove into Seligman yesterday there was 3000 dollars in this gofundme and I think I got all the bank transfer stuff set up. I broke out in tears of joy right there outside the library and was glad no one was nearby at that moment.
More, possible good news but I'm not "counting chickens till the eggs hatch": another job prospect may be calling me today. It's a remote place, sort of low pay but low expenses too- but most meaningful is if it happens, now I start from ahead rather than weeks of making up for lost time. Specifically, if I can pay my own rent up front, I pocket the remainder of per diem pay.
And ultimately that means I can save up to: pay the COBRA coverage, get the scope, take recovery time, cover the co-pays and be far more knowing the status of my cancer.
I have to get busy "batting the hatches" of storage here and going through more stuff so it's all ready for winter storage, and listen for the phone.

we are going for disability as my husband had spinal surgery and can barely walk...we have Medicaid expansion in Ohio and pay for nothing for my husband. Also, Ohio jobs are still strong... I don't know what you do or if you are strong enough for factory jobs but the pay is good...in any case, I wish you well and hope and pray for a complete recovery and a good job. We also have quite a few home-based jobs that pay pretty well also.

Hillary was correct that it takes a village to raise children, but it also takes a village (community) to reach out to those who need a helping hand. Best of luck to you!

Good sleep is so restorative. Praying that things continue to improve for you. You've carried a heavy burden for awhile.

are pulling for you. Please be sure to check out Medicaid Advantage. It will make sure that you get the diagnoses and treatments that you need.

Hang in there and best of wishes for you and doggo.
