It appears that I had an aneurysm that bled in my head. The CT scan will be able to see exactly where and right now I'm waiting for my appointment tomorrow. I'm home now and resting with strict instructions on what not to do.

Thank you for the prayers and personal emails sent. I may be off the computer for a while.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. And don't forget to tell the ones you love how much they mean to you. You all have enriched my life a lot and I thank God for your friendship.

JoJo, was thinking about you yesterday, although didn't even know you were having problems. Was remembering a time when you spearheaded an outpouring for Patti!

My brother had a slow leaking aneurysm about 25 years ago, (worst headache in his life) and ended up on bedrest/no lights/quiet for several days/weeks. It healed over nicely! Sometimes it requires surgery down the road, but this is to let you know, there are good outcomes possible!

Rest dear friend.........we will miss you here, but rejoyce you are healing!!

Love, Lynn

Just now read about what has happened. You are in my prayers. I'll be checking frequently for news of how you are doing. I appreciate the reminder to let those we care about know how much they mean to us. I will do that and each time I will say a prayer for you as well. Lois

PS. Wrap yourself up in that HST Exchange Quilt. That way you will feel hugs from all of us.

[MAMA2TNT]

JoJo, I'm praying for you, also. May God's peace rest in you.

Good morning everyone. I wanted to pop and give you an update. First, my head is beginning to feel better (thank you Lord!). My eyesight comes and goes but at least it isn't painful. My balance is off but I think that is because of my eyesight. I was at the doctor a big portion of the day yesterday and just as she was scheduling my MRI/MRA appointment, our health insurance company that we purchase through my husband's company called and denied the doctor's request for the scan. Normally, my doctor said that a quick call to a health insurance company does the trick for any prior approval requirements. However, our insurance not only didn’t approve it with her on the phone, they requested much more information (all of her written chart notes) so that ‘they’ could evaluate it. She told me that no one has ever done that before especially when time is of the essence. While I was having lab work done, she tried again but they still denied it. She told me to go home and she would dictate last night and fax it to them. Now today when the doctor hadn't heard back from them, she called and was told that they insurance company is now closed for the Holidays and that no approvals would be issued until staff returns. It’s scary when a health insurance company decides over a doctor what is in the best interest of a patient. The news made me sick to my stomach but on the positive side, I'm still here no thanks to the insurance company. The doctor said that it's good news that the pain is reducing so I'm hopeful that my body is trying to heal itself.

Do any of you have spouses that are very sensitive to health news? I've had to be very selective with what to say to my sweet husband. He is the strongest man I know for everything except for my health so this has been especially hard on me. I try to act as normal as I can regardless of how I feel. Today I'm home alone so it's been nice to just be. Does that make any sense? My emotions must be on hyperdrive today . Maybe I need to go lay down for a while. Thank you for the prayers. God is great and I know He is with me giving me strength that I could never have on my own.

It certainly is very good news that you are feeling better, but the response from the insurance company is terrible. It seems to me they have to have someone on call to handle situations such as these even if it is Christmas. I believe your husband is stronger than you think. It is not the time for you to protect him. He'd feel better if he could go to bat for you. Perhaps your husband's company has an advocate that could go to bat for you. Let him check that out. Prayers! Lois
