December 26, 2011

It has been a while since my last post, but I was waiting for the results of my yearly cancer scan on Dec. 20 ......... All clear, no signs of cancer. What a relief. For those of you who haven’t ever had any issues like this, it may seem like a small thing, but for me, it is huge. The longer you go without cancer returning, the better chance you have that it never returns. I always have “high anxiety” leading up to doctors appointments, but these yearly scans feel like a very real session of russian roulette.

Another bit of good news..... My insurance company, you remember Health Net don’t you, has finally paid UPMC for my surgeries back in the spring of 2009. This was not just “the insurance company doing the right thing”, but is what happened after my attorney threatened to start arbitration proceedings. (They paid my attorney as well,) I signed a non disclosure agreement, and am not sure exactly what I can say, but I am pretty sure that I can report things that happen regarding my health care bills........... My credit report should show that the “collection account” has been paid, however, it doesn’t go away, and will still reflect negatively on my score.

Speaking of credit scores, I wish mine was better.....

I was able to buy another rental house last month, and am now doing all of the normal clean up, fix up stuff that foreclosed houses need. The rent from this house will nearly fix my monthly cash flow problem.

I would buy many..... except, I am out of money, and no longer qualify for financing.

Enough with the whining..... It has been a long 3 years, but things are going very well, and life seems to be returning to some kind of normal.

Wishing all of you a great holiday season, and the best in 2012.

Well, of course, it's a VERY big deal. I would be a wreck! I'm so glad to hear everything was clear and that your health insurance finally came through. I'm thinking 2012 is going to be a good year for you!

Good to hear that news! And glad to know you are coming east in March. I have blocked off the suite above mom for your stay unless I get a long-term renter....in which case we'll have to move you over to our house or the cabin. Anyway, I know mom wants to spend as much time with you as possible and staying in the same building will facilitate that.

Tim and I go through some anxiety every time he has a check up....then relief when all appears clear. We don't think about it too much until it is time for the tests - then it is hard to avoid thinking about it.

Looking forward to seeing you in two months! Take care.

So glad to hear things are looking up for you. Are you planning on getting back on the road anytime soon?

I have to get the house finished and rented, and rent another unit that just became vacant...... After that, I will try to catch up with the wins before they head North for the summer.....
