My New Life

Not much new to post!  Still waiting on the darn insurance to make their decision!  Ugh!  Today is not a great day for my tummy.  Super nauseous.  But, I'm getting kind of used to having these days now and then.  These are days I take with grace and rest.  I've been losing some weight!  I think the apartment is helping with my bedroom on the 2nd floor !  And the nauseousness 🤣.  My community Ed obedience dog classes are going great!  It's something that I can do just for a little bit.  And, if I'm having a super hard time with breathing or talking I always have Dom to help!  And, everyone in the community is so understanding!  This week I have started my pre-op appointments for surgery, so it is getting me excited so I'm hoping to hear something soon!  Also, on Thursday I go see Dr. Gray at the U and she will do a good clean out of my trach which is always nice.  I hope everyone is having a great day despit...
