You people have to be about the best group in the world. I love this clan. I kind of lost touch of you guys for a few days and haven't been on much. I haven't been sleeping to much and I guess that I can relax a little bit now. I actually slept good for the first time in a week last night. Well here is the news. Wednesday I was told that my insurance would not cover my wife's rehab from her stroke. And the hospital was going to send her home on Friday. Paralyzed or not, they would not cover anything. I was in shock, wtf was I supposed to do. I figured that I would have to find all of the necassary things, wheechair, wheelchair ramp and all of the other things that people have to have that can't take care of themselves. I am on oxygen and can't do much anymore and I am disabled myself. But I got into the mind set that, I was going to do whatever I had to do. I would of taken care of her if I had to. That is just something you are supposed to do. Since SSI made me go on Medicaid and I had to change from my state insurance over to Medicaid, then why not my wife also. So I put an application in for her last week, just three days before her stroke. Well after hearing what her insurance wanted to do, (just throw her out like a rotten piece of meat). I just couldn't beleive that an insurance company wouldn't cover any rehab what so ever. I was pretty pissed off. I was up very late Wednesday night writing emails to everybody that I could think of. Well long story short, our state DSHS got a phone call about 9:00 yesterday morning from one of our Senators and by 2:00 I drove her to one of the top 20 rehab centers in the country, all free. She will be there until she is able to more or less take care of herself. She still is paralyzed on her right side. They estimate 2 to 4 weeks. The senator called me later and explained what went on. In my letter to everybody, I explained that I had applied for Medicaid last week for her. And he explained to them the severity of the situation and asked them to expedite the application. (It probably did help that I built his shop for him several years ago). I always took pride in my work, so I guess it pays off. So I am finally able to relax and breathe a little now. I almost cried when I heard the news. What a fucking roller coaster of emotions in the last week. I depend a lot on Ebay for any money. In the last week I had only sold two small items. Yesterday I sold 10 things in one day. So I don't know if the stars were lined up (lol) or what influenced it to be one of the better days in my life. But I am finally able to calm down a little. I realize that I am only 52 and I am dependent upon our government now for almost everything. But I don't feel like I am taking advantage of them by no means. For nearly twenty years I had my own company and grossed about 1/2 a million a year, which sounds like a lot, but beleive me it istn't by the time you have to pay out everything. So the government got a good chunck of change from me all ready and now that I have to have help. Then I am really glad it is there. And I don't worry about SSI running out of money or anything. That is just polictical bullshit. Could you imagine what chaos that would present. But that is a whole other issue. I am just glad that things are going to work out, and that my wife is going to be in the best hands available. That is truly awesome. You see there is nothing cut and dried in life. Just do the best you can. And look in the mirror once in awhile and see if you can like the person that you are looking at. God bless all of you. I love XI. And good luck to you Funstick. I am proud of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I just got back home from visiting her. She doesn't have much improvement yet, for awhile we were just literally overwhelmed with everything and now I can finally feel better about life. It was kind of strange how it all fell together and worked out. Most of the time it is the opposite. I am just glad that I knew the Senator and that I did a great job working for him. I guess the work ethics will pay off, even when we don't expect it to. That was fucking amazing, five hours to get approved for Medicaid. Part of it was that I had already had sent in the application. I am really glad it worked out, otherwise she would be home right now and paralyzed. That would of been fucked. Thank you all for your support, you people mean a lot to me. I can't attend the XI fest, and I still want to send a cooler full of pepperoni, jerky and stuff like that, I just need to find someone that lives close to where it is going to be, so I can send it to them to take to it. Anybody want to volunteer. I will send it in a 5 day cooler with dry ice, I make some good shit, I just want to share some with you. Maybe I can sneek in some of my wine. That is some killer shit there. Anyway. A big THANK YOU. Hey Funstick, just rent a boat, fuck it man. Hire some Somalia pirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Remember to temper it with patience as you go trough rehab together, there will be ups and downs and patience will be needed. Kudos to your Senator for appreciating your work and going to bat for you. Political influence is a very strong tool. Most pleased to see it was used for doing good. Don't forget to watch and learn the therapy, at some point you may have to become the therapist. Even when you are in the room together there will be small exercises you can help her with. Usually at the care center the time for each person is limited with the therapist, family members can be a big help in extending the therapy sessions.

It is strange but sometimes a tragedy has to happen to actually bring people closer together and find out why you married that person to start with. Everyday I see a little progress, that's awesome. She has to learn to walk again, and we have both learned just how much we love each other. She has her ups and downs and I do too. But we will pull through it. One guy I knew had a heart attack and he said it was the best thing that ever happened to him. He got his life back on track and it made him appreciate life a lot more. Kind of the same with my wife and I. It is quite a roller coaster of emotions. One minute I am almost in tears seeing her progression and then when later you sit her alone, I get some depression, and she said that she does too. So it is really awesome that this is going to bring us closer together. Many thanks to all of you. Maybe some of this will help someone else to open their eyes and enjoy and appreciate what they actually do have. Life is a precious thing and so are the people that are part of your life. I love you guys. And I don't mind saying so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
