Sales stuff and health update...
Well, I'm doing a little better, it's been not quite a month since I posted last. Unfortunately, it's been a pretty eventful month. My healing continues to progress, slowly thanks to my Lupus but, I'm getting there. Still taking Voltarin, both by mouth and the gel version that's applied as a topical pain killer and anti-inflammatory. They've both been helping. I go back to see my podiatrist next week to see what further treatment they want to do to my left heel.
Lee's been in the hospital. He ended up with kidney stones and we had a daylong ER stint followed by hospitalization for stent placement. Plus, sonics to break up the stones. It was so sad that Lee's first worry was how much this would cost us. Then, yesterday he passed another stone with more bleeding and pain. Thankfully he didn't have to stay in-patient this time. He has an appointment next week to have the stent removed, I wonder if they'll have to wait? I understand Lee's worries, though. I am now officially at just slightly under $500,000 for my medical claims with many more procedures, tests and med cost to come.
We still don't know if they'll want to move my pacemaker prior to the radiation treatments. Which would be my fourth surgery for this year. I meet with the radiology team next Friday, hopefully I'll know more then.
I met with my oncologist yesterday and got some pretty frustrating news. Because there was still some malignant cells left in my tumor when they removed it. my doctor wants me to switch to a mixed chemo/Her2 immuno therapy drug called Kadcyla. It's given on a 21 day cycle and he'd want me to have 18 treatments. That translates to effectively a full year of chemo still to come on top of everything else. I guess I'd better enjoy my little bit of hair regrowth, it's not going to last.
I know how lucky I am, I'm still here. Plus, I don't have any signs of metastasis. I count my blessing every day, I promise. It still doesn't change the fact that this will be another year of not feeling good combined with astronomical health costs that we'll have to keep finding ways to deal with.
Speaking of which, I need your help. I'm posting a list of comics I'm hoping to sell with this note. I've decided I'm going to sell my whole comics collection, plus jewelry and other fannish things I can find to post. We'd had co-pays for two ER visits this month. It's eaten up not only the money I had set aside for living on but bills as well. We're on a payment plan with Louisville Gas & Electric. If I can't pay them $160.00 tomorrow they'll cancel the plan and everything I still owe them will come due. Plus, I've got a $200 payment to Clearbalance for our Norton Hospital bill, So, any boosting of my sales you can do, I will really appreciate it.
So, here's my list. If you see anything you'd like, I can take PayPal at bstaton @ iglou.com, without the spaces. If you could make any payments Friends and Family that would be wonderful so they don't fee me to death. I can also take Venmo, my account is @ Barbara-Staton-2, without the extra space before my name. I'll just need shipping info from you so that I can calculate your shipping costs. I'm happy to provide any pictures you'd like to see of the books. I've always carefully stored my books boxed, most bagged and boarded. Their conditions range from Very FIne, VF/Mint to Near Mint Minus. My books still look brand new.
