If you know me you probably know that I'm pretty stubborn. If you're polite maybe that's "self sufficient." I have always had a hard time asking for and accepting help. This time... I really need it. I have breast cancer. This season of Thanksgiving I am extra thankful - it was caught very early on my regularly scheduled mammogram, is operable, radiation but no chemo. I have insurance, a great medical team, fantastic support from friends and family. I'm going to be okay. Right now though? Not so much. Here's the hardest part... getting over my stubborn self sufficient bullheadedness. I could really use some help. The medical co-pays are starting to pile up FAST already, on top of everything being more expensive. My mortgage, taxes, heating bill and car insurance have all simultaneously jumped, not to mention groceries. When I have my surgery on January 8, I will be out of commission for a while. Dalton and Jamie are resourceful and working part time but not great cooks and neither are driving. I will plan ahead for freezer meals but delivery, buses and Uber will be my backups. Could you please send me good thoughts, strength, and steady hands to my surgeons? This is the hard part... Maybe an UberEats or gift card for food delivery? A little financial help to my Venmo to try to knock down some of these bills? I would greatly appreciate it! ❤️ Friends, please PLEASE get the uncomfortable screening tests. Yes, all of them. Take care of yourselves! ❤️❤️ I am so thankful for you to have read to the end. Much love, Kathy
