Just not sure how to feel today. Kevin is not having a great day with his nausea. We’re not sure if the meds aren’t working, or if it’s just from the chemotherapy. Needless to say, his spirits are low and he could definitely use a pick me up.
Unfortunately, just with how I’m feeling mentally and physically, I’ve not been the best friend. My patience is thin, and I’m tired most of the day. I imagine this is definitely effects of some depression. What’s very frustrating is that right now I can’t even go to the doctor until this Cobra thing is straightened out with our insurance.
The absense of the Cobra (our temporary health insurance) being in place right now is definitely laying a huge burden on me. Things are being denied left and right, and I just have this overwhelming fear that something is not going to go through right. Our bills should be covered retro-actively, but until that happens, it adds enormous pressure to an already frustrating life.
Please lift us up in your prayers as we battle on…
Wow-this has to be so scary and difficult for you. I can’t imagine the stress you must feel-and falling into a depression HAS to be absolutely the most impossible thing NOT to do!!! Would Kevin be covered if he came back to Canada?I KNow years ago our family had moved to the states-as we have tons of famiy in New York-and had to move back due to a medical situation with my mom at the time-mainly because they did not yet have medical coverage…Is that even an option???
I think about you guys often(even though I dont know you and barely knew Kevin)-its heartbreaking to hear of all that such a young, lively, loving couple has to go through 🙁
Stay Strong!
Hi Brenda…
Don’t beat yourself up for feeling down today. You must remember that if you don’t take care of yourself (your WHOLE self) you won’t be able to help Kevin in the way you want to. Your mental health is important in this equation. Can I encourage you to make that as much of a priority as you can so that you have the tools you need to get through all of this. You are an amazingly strong woman, and I’m sure that Kevin ‘gets’ you having the down days. I will pray that you will be surrounded with support and filled with peace and hope.
Thank you for authentically sharing your journey.
