Create Beauty

When I saw my daughter's and her friends' pictures of Hawaii I thought of how beautiful God created this universe. There is so much beauty to be found.

When I went on the internet today, I saw the clip by Elder Uchtdorff on creating beauty and made it my thought for the day.

I have been still pondering over the medicare situation. When at the temple this morning the thought came to me to call my rep at my insurance company. When I got in my car I found she had called and left me a voice message. Coincidental? I think not. I called her right back and she gave me the answer I needed.

When I got home, I had a call from Social Security letting me know they had worked things out at my dialysis center.

I can see the Lord's hands in so many things. I have so much to be thankful for. Again, thank you Father for each new day.

Medicare, Social Security, Insurance, oh my . . .

I've been trying to find out my status for medicare for about the last month. I was told it had already been filed for and that I would begin coverage sometime this month.

I called a couple of weeks ago and they didn't have a record, so I scheduled a phone interview. When I got the call today he said the dialysis center I'm using is not an authorized medicare facility. Yipes!

I've been rolling along feeling very safe and secure and adjusting to changes. This one really set me off. Sigh.

Follow-up - the social worker spoke with me and they are trying to work it out for me to stay at their facility.

I took Gabby to the vet this afternoon to run her labs. Her kidneys are better, but her liver is failing quickly. Sigh . . . she's such a sweetheart.

Poor Benson is going to really miss her when she's gone, as well as Steve and I. When the vet weighed him he'd gained even more weight. When Gabby doesn't eat her share, he finishes it off for her. He looks like a little sausage.

We love them both though. Its really hard to lose them.
