We did avoid the snow yesterday, and they say we may see some sun today, but it will be a mix of sun and clouds.....so far I only see clouds! Leaving for Arizona on Sunday can't come soon enough. I need some sun.
Yesterday the funeral was a true celebration of Bucky's life, I was honored to have my son give the eulogy followed by one from Wendy, Ann's sister. They both did such a nice job.....throwing in a little humor....thru our tears. The row I was sitting in all were crying...Tom, Bill, Kim, Annie and Doug. I'm sure everyone else was too!....but then we'd all be laughing. It was attended by more people than they had tables set up for in the social hall for lunch.....and some didn't stay for lunch so a great crowd and testament to a great man.
During lunch I had Nathan recite his poem for my son Tom, as he wasn't there to hear it the night before. He again had our whole table laughing.
From the funeral a large crowd went to Jimbo and Ann's house to continue the celebration. There was more food, and it seemed to multiply as the day went on. They have a great house for entertaining, and people gathered in small groups of 6 or 8 and continued the stories and jokes till well into the evening. I did get home by 8:30 p.m., but we weren't the last to leave.
For me just being with my family and listening to all the stories, and talking about Gene (their father) was the most healing and the best part of the day. Not that that was all we talked about....baseball, and hockey and lots of other subjects got lots of time too! All the friends of my kids did a good job of adding to the conversations and laughter.
Today I need to pick up my mini van that has been getting it's ding fixed, and I also get to have my hair done....so I look good for the trip. I think I may do some shopping as well....Katie's birthday was on Tuesday, and Annie's birthday is on the 15th. I just realized that with the funeral and all I didn't wish Katie a Happy 15th birthday in my blog! Sorry Katie!!! I did send her a message on Facebook.
I also forgot to tell you I called my supplemental insurance, and was told that they are the primary insurance for part B, so yes, they will cover 90% of my catheters! Whewww!!! What a relief! I also got Handi Medical to get my precription transferred to them, so that I can get my bags and catheters from the same place.
Self catherizing is going okay, but I haven't done it as much as they suggested....not being at home makes it difficult.....as I just didn't do it! But I did yesterday morning, and again when I got home. So I think today I'll try a little harder to do it atleast 3 times, if not 4.
Nothing else to report.....Love and prayers, m
