I continue to marvel at how you have so fully advocated for yourself during this most challenging time and through this healthcare journey. It is absolute bullshit that patients have to call, check, recheck, call again, and make sure on all of these medical details. It feels as though no one follows thru anymore, people are not doing the most basic of work to support patients and move them seamlessly thru a process. It's crap. But you know what? We've got this by the balls and, Sweets, we do this together. No other way. I am proud of the man you are and I will be by your side for always.

I have not seen Sean in likely 40 years but Im incredibly moved by you both. I have been following Seans blog and having seen your posts in years past on SM can tell you are a strong solid uinion who love each other deeply; My heart breaks for your struggle and as I read Seans blog lIm heartbroken and also furious for the system within which I work; that the two of you must struggle. Broken is an understatement and I have been scolded and shamed for trying to help people short cut this very thing. I DO believe in prayer and a higher being, and though I understand Sean does not, Im sending mine to work for you. You are both amazing to me. Wendy I wish I knew you. Im in Maine. If I can ever help, Id be honored. Following with my whole heart on your side and will put my very safe and hopeful prayer tribe on your journey

Thank you so much Maud. While I don't have religion myself, I'd be a fool to turn away anyone's thoughts, prayers or other gestures of good will. I accept yours gratefully. Where in Maine are you? We get up that way fairly often!

Loved the Wendy stories. I very well remember that tenacity! And the details about the insurance nightmares were so frustrating. Do glad you managed to jump through all those hoops.
