Mayo Clinic: Day 4

Today was thankfully a short day. We had an appointment with our social worker at 9:30. We were running about 15 minutes late, but fortunately so was our social worker! We talked with her for almost 2 hours. She asked us all kinds of questions about our lives and families, how long I have been sick, etc. We told her about Amelia and how everything has happened so fast; how just 6 months ago we had a normal, quiet life.
We liked her alot. She was really nice, but she was also very honest and didn't sugar-coat anything. She seemed really pleased by how much support we have; she said it will make this whole process so much easier.
We talked about Medicare and what it will cover for me, and she answered some questions we had. Overall I felt it was a good meeting.

I am heading out to my boss & friend Liz's house tonight for some girl time and fun. Several of the girls from work are all going out to dinner, then we are staying the night at Liz's house to watch movies & hang out. Liz lives in Maclenny, FL, which is a fairly rural/ small country town. The BBQ joint we are going to is called the Shack by the Track. And that's exactly what it is... a little shack next to the RR tracks! They have great BBQ, and a little ice cream stand. You can eat inside or outside on the picnic tables. Seeing as it is pouring rain right now, we will probablybe eating inside. Even if the rain clears up, the skeeters will be on the prowl.
Should be a fun night; I will post pictures!

Rick will be enjoying the quiet empty house tonight. Well, empty of any other humans. He will also have our 2 large dogs, and our 3 cats. So he won't be too lonely. I think he is going out to his game room (aka the Man Cave) to shoot some pool, throw darts, and watch ESPN.
It will be good to have some time to relax after this whole week.

Have a great weekend! More to come next week.
