April 20 2011

If you think you can't afford to pay a lawyer to help you apply for medicaid, think again. They may save you thousands of dollars. Of course you might do all right if you have a case worker who knows what he is doing and cares, but I didn't have that advantage. Anyway, the gal working with me is to turn in the application today. She promised I won't have to pay the nursing home for April. Sure praying her promise is good. Am requesting a hearing to see if I can get the Medicaid retroactive, because of information that was incorrect or not given to me. We'll see.

The girls (and others) had been urging me to get a new furnace. I kept telling them I wanted to see just how long it would keep going. Well, I found out. It was the Fri. when we were having nice warm weather, so didn't worry about it. Then, it turned cold, and I got sick. A friend brought over a couple of space heaters, on the next Fri., so that halped a lot. The following Monday the mew furnace was in and running. The old one had been installed in 1960, so we sure got a lot of wear out of it.

This morning I got up about five and went to a friend's house where the Red Hatters gathered to watch the wedding Everybody seemed to really like Catherine's dress, but it was way too plain for my taste. At least she didn't look like she was being sacrificed the way Diana did. Hope they can keep it together. Thought Elizabeth and Phillip looked pretty darn good for their ages. Didn't see enough of the red head to suit me. Hope they have all that hoopla when he gets married. :-)

Guess that's it for now.
