Those magic pink pills seem to do the trick. Jimmy had a much better night's sleep and this morning his back was better than it has been in two days again. Unfortunately he has just taken the last one, so tomorrow I'm off to the pharmacy to beg for some more to last till after the long weekend, when we can get another script from Prof.
Jimmy drove through to the office today for an hour and a half to visit everyone and I think this was a mutually beneficial exercise. Of course he doesn't know, but I phoned Spencer and told him Jimmy was on his way and made him promise me that if he saw Jimmy was getting tired he would tell him to go home as the drive back is still another 45 minutes. And he left with strict instructions to let me know when he got there and when he was leaving <3
The stark reality of things.....this afternoon Michelle popped around so we can get all our ducks in a row. We have never updated our Wills since I started my 2 businesses and other things like signing a General Power of Attorney. And before any of you Sunshine Corner guys have a heart attack.... I promised Jimmy I wouldn't sell his golf clubs hehe
And then our news of the day is that we eventually got some clarity on the whole treatment authorisation situation. I phoned the medical aid at 08h30 only to be told that they still hadn't received any paperwork. Jimmy managed to get hold of the right person at UCTPAH this afternoon and it was explained that they cannot send the motivation off to the medical aid without the results of the bone marrow biopsy. These should have already been received but due to the public holidays everything is running late. They hope to get these results back on Friday (tomorrow is a public holiday) and the medical aid should start processing the authorisation on Monday. This will take approximately 2 to 3 days. Wednesday is also a public holiday so we are probably looking at starting chemotherapy the following week. How frustrating......if this had been explained to us right from the start we would not have spent the week anxiously waiting.
Well, we look forward to another lazy long weekend. My girls have gone away with Mike (their dad) and Brad and Shan are here to enjoy some special time with their dad.
And Jimmy.....he is fast asleep on the couch.....
