This week: COVID test, echocardiogram, port, chemo

Today, I had to go to the hospital to get tested for COVID-19 so that I could get the port put in on Thursday. That was an adventure. The test took all of 5 minutes, but the running around the hospital and waiting took almost 2 hours. It is done, though, and now we wait for the results.

I spent the rest of the day scheduling tests and figuring out financials with insurance. Wednesday at 7:30 a.m., I have an echocardiogram at HonorHealth Deer Valley Medical Center in Phoenix, followed by a bunch of blood work. Thursday morning, the port will be put in by Dr. Glenn at Abrazo Arrowhead Hospital in Glendale. 

Hoping that everything gets approved by insurance in a timely manner so that we can keep our appointment for chemo this Friday at 9:45 a.m. at the Virginia G. Piper Clinic in Scottsdale.

Feeling grateful for so much support from our amazing family and friends.

    Shaun got tested for COVID and he thought the swab was going to go through his brain! Make sure you get a power port tomorrow! Praying always for you!

    Medical appointments can be so physically and emotionally draining. What a day you had just to prepare for more days of more testing and treatment. Sorry you are having to deal with all the insurance stuff and having that worry on top of it all. You are a amazingly strong. Praying all the authorization goes through so you can start on Friday. We will be sending extra prayers on Friday so you dont feel so alone. Sorry they wont let anyone be in. Our heart will be with you. Lots of love!
