The hospital requires payment for my MRI before they will actually do the procedure. Apparently it costs $1,035 to take a Polaroid.
I'm praying for you sisHaven't been in the best of moods lately and have been distracted from my walk with God. Please pray that my faith may be renewed and strengthened in Christ Jesus.
Can you contact an Imaging Center outside of the hospital and see if they will let you make payments instead of having to pay it in a lump sum?
Today marks the 9th year since my mom passed away from breast, meninges and liver cancer. Usually I'm all right, but this year it is hitting me pretty hard. Today, I thought back to when I was about 8 or 9 and she and I had just gotten home from getting her weekly blood work done. Something must not have been right with the blood work because before I could even take my coat off, she broke down sobbing - something that was incredibly, incredibly rare for her. When I asked her what was wrong, she told me through her sobs that she wanted to see me have my first boyfriend, graduate from high school and college, fall in love, get married and have kids. I actually laughed at the time, mostly because I thought that just graduating from high school was soooo far away, but also because I couldn't imagine her NOT being there for everything that was going to happen in my life. I really had no idea how ill she was.
Now when I think back on that, it almost makes me sick. I think about everything she's missed; I've already done a few of the things she mentioned and many more things that I know she would have wanted to see. Also, today makes me look back at just how HARD it has been without her. I had no woman to "show me the ropes" as I got older and have had to just stumble along the way, trying to figure it all out on my own - minus my dad's occasional and slightly embarrassed input.
I guess I'm just really sad today. I know that Abba has a plan and knew what He was doing when He brought her home nine years ago today, but that doesn't mean that I don't miss her terribly. It just means that I have a great reunion to look forward to, I guess. So, if you could pray... something. Abba knows, and I'd appreciate anything you'd be willing to pray on my behalf. Thanks guys.![]()
