Hospice and YoYo's

That's quite an unusal title, wouldn't you say? But today it really happened. The hospice admitting nurse came to my home today for several hours getting me into the system. For those reading who might not now, at least a month ago I was told to go on hospice only to have insurance problems. One thing led to another and it seemed I was denied. hWell, the other day, I decided to take it all on myself. I called my medical insurance company and to make a huge mistake and all it's little details......it turned out that I was able to have hospice all along. So for the nuts and bolts side of starting hospice all is well. Of course, it goes without saying, there is an emotional side to it that is pretty natural but it's been in the making for some time now. You think you are prepared but it still is a process to work through.



So where do yo'yo's fit into the hospice story? Well, I am trying to make some projects with them and my admitting nurse had some great ideas. She was quite interested in my efforts to do this which got me very eager to get a project done. I have a little book on it's way with instructions but while I wait on the book I am going to just play around with the ideas. I was blessed to find something on ebay I had never heard of, YoYo templates. They are very beneficial for me because I do have trouble holding onto things and these will help that problem PLUS it also shows the exact holes to put the needle through. I hope to create some nice things with these yoyo's. Thanks to my admitting nurse, my confidence level got a little extra boost today.



My heart is heavy tonight with burdens. So this is about all I have to say tonight. I just have to take the positives out of this day (even though it's 2:14 a.m.) and apply it for tomorrow!!''

Pleasant Company and Flowers!!

Today was especially nice because we had good friends over for lunch! Longtime friends, where familiarity itself, brings a comfort to me. I have been thinking about the visit and I realized that part of what made it special was the Mother and Daughter part. C. homeschooled her children as well and the closeness that comes with mothers and their daughters in a homeschooling family is just another added benefit! Here we were with our adult daughters, still together in one room enjoying each others' company. Oh, what a blessing it was! I had invited the daughter over for lunch and then she called and asked if her Mother could come! So our little tea luncheon grew and it was a great visit!

While they were here, the mail came and a box was delivered fo me. While I confess the box looked pretty suspicious that flowers could be inside........I couldn't imagine who would have sent them. Surprise.....another longtime friend, this time of Caroline's!!! We became "phone friends" everytime Lizzy would call Caroline and if I answered it seemed like we would chat for some time ourselves! When Lizzy found my health to not be so good this time, she has shown her tenderhearted side in a big way and I can't thank her enough!! What blessings my Heavenly Father sends my way through friends, family, flowers and so much more!

Before I close I want to share that I found a link to a great site I want to pass on. There are 12 biographical stories of children from the Bible and I have read one story so that's as far as I can vouch for. But they are old stories that have been edited and I found the story quite enjoyable. I'm looking forward to reading more and searching out more of their choices on their website!
