Listing

Dang… I have so much to think about now…

I’m so tired, emotionally spent.
Listing…

So much to do
So much to list…

* Have to contact the drug companies and update them…
Need to change my contact and mailing info and see how this unemployment affects my status and / or programs eligibility. Hopefully nothing to worry about.

* Check out unemployment, if I qualify.

Finding another job will be difficult due to my health situation. I often go in late cuz the mornings are difficult for me. Sometimes the headaches keep me up at night, or wake me up throughout the night; sometimes I get very little sleep, or I have to take sleeping aids so that my sleep is not real rest. I miss some work for Doctor appointments and have tests and procedures…

The meds have side effects like memory issues and balance problems and the Hand and Foot Syndrome has the tips of my fingers and toes ultra sensitive and splitting and I’m wearing band-aids and finger cots on my fingers.

I’ve applied for unemployment twice in my life, but never have collected cuz I always got a job before I got my benefits. This will be a new situation for me and not one that I am proud of.

* Need to get back onto Auctiva and start TeamDenise’s eBay account and start selling again.
I lost confidence in my selling in March of 2008. I need to get it back.

* Need to get my fundraiser project back on track.
Yes, I’m tired, yes I’m tired of feeling like a beggar… but it’s not getting done and I want to keep myself alive, so that means money. And there will be even less money than there was before, so I need to get out there and do it.

And
* Waiting for the results of my PET scan…
Scared of what they will showed. Hopeful, but so scared.

I’m so tired… but what can I do with this
Listing?

Hi Ho Hi Ho…

So, after reading through the blog of another patient of Burzynski Clinic, I see that she has had some good fundraiser activities.

My finances are starting to look bleak, since donations have really slowed down.  I’m not meaning to complain, cuz I’m *V*E*R*Y* Grateful to those who have donated to my cause.  But August depleted $6,490.00 from the fund ($4,620 for monthly meds, $1,200 for PET/CT scan, $360 for Bone Scan, $310 for Zometa infusion and monthly blood tests coming up at about $120), and that is just for one month.  So… not much is left.

When I started this blog, I was hoping for $1 from 150,000 – 200,000 generous people to help me to cover my expenses (treatment, surgery, radiation and hopefully reconstruction).  This is not money for a whim, to buy a fancy car or new home.  No… this is money so that I can live.

I didn’t think that $1 was much to ask for.  When I was more active on eBay, I used to always add a $1 donation to my payment, for whatever charity was being promoted.  Afterall, it was only $1, and enough $1s add up.  And each $1 I donated made me feel good – I was affecting a cause.

And that is what I thought about me… that the $1s would add up.

But my situation is just not reaching that far, or touching that many. And my $1s are just not adding up.

Yes, I too have had some Generous donations and I Do feel Very Blessed for them!  But they are long gone…  And its scary to think about discontinuing this treatment due to lack of finances.

I’m gonna really need to “step it up” to get some incoming generated.

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but when I get home after work, because of my condition and the medications, I’m so tired, I just crash.  So I have neglected my fundraising duty.

Gonna have to not crash and suck it up and do some work.

Hi Ho Hi Ho…
