Re: Work update (OT) to Theresa

September 7, 2005

Theresa,

That's good news that you got the position at the hospital. Even

though the money is the same, I think that having your medical

coverage as it was before is always a plus. Those medical expenses

can pile up quickly, especially if a person's uninsured.

Yes, four longer days instead of five would've been nice. At least

the gas prices have come down some over the weekend. It cost me

$3.26 per gallon to fill the tank on Thursday and prices were down

to $2.84 on Sunday, so there is hope for more of a decrease. There

was a panic in Savannah last week and a rush to the gas stations,

people were waiting an hour in line and filling 5-10 containers of

gas at a time....that kind of activity didn't help the situation

here at all. All due to a foolish rumor that someone started that

snowballed out of control.

I hope you are enjoying the new job. Why is the med situation with

your husband still not resolved? Isn't there anything you can do to

get it straightened out? Having that taken care of would be so much

easier for your husband, and you! Is that something that's impossible

to ask for and get resolved, or is he just going to have to continue

to suffer as a result?

I'm hoping for a better solution for this as soon as possible. For

now, just enjoy your job, keep your health happy, pain levels at a

minimum and try not to let the unsolvable problems get you down.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
