what is this blog about?

On June 18th 2010, Katrina went in to have an MRI done so the doctors could try to figure out why she was getting dizzy. What they found was a medulloblastoma (Brain Cancer) tumor between her fourth ventricle and cerebellum.

This blog is a journal for Her, and Her Husband, Scott, as they face this together.

Rehab, done?

Katrina finished up her most recent amount of allotted rehab appointments. It's frustrating that the insurance has so much say in how many they will cover. She needs the rehab and progresses so much better when she is going. What gives the insurance the right to say she doesn't need them.

Our specialist recommended that we look into the student clinic at the University to get some more rehab since the work on a sliding pay scale because we are helping teach students at the same time we receive rehab. We'll have to look into it before we commit. It would be two days a week and that can add up real quick when it's out of pocket.

A bad person?

Does the fact that I torment a disabled person make me a bad person? Katrina seems to think so. ;oP

Friday Update 7-8-11

We celebrated our anniversary this past week. It doesn't seem like we have been married nearly as long as we have.

We are still here, we are still scrapping by. I guess you can't complain too much about that. It's far better to scrape by than to not get by at all.

I'm begging to question the logic of continuing to post weekly. We just have our little day to day struggles so there isn't really anything to write about. I feel like a broken record.

Friday Update 7-1-11 One year and Counting

July Second will probably always be surgery day for us. It was probably one of the longest most devastating days of my life and for her the day that only lasted a couple of hours.

Still we've come a long way since then and it fells good to be marking anniversaries.

Things are going good. The rehab specialist we are seeing says that she is seeing progress, which is encouraging. We stopped by her school today and her interactions seemed to be more . . . normalized(?) than before. I hope that given this coming year off to heal she'll be able to return to what she loves doing.
