Wife's recovery slow

The anti-seizure medication my wife has been taking apparently affected her taste buds as she has been complainng that her food doesn't taste like it should.  Her speech has returned to normal and she forms her thoughts almost as fast as she ever did and, while not completely stable, she is more so than she has been.  It would seem that she is improving to the point of normalacy except for one thing.  Her vision is still abnormal. 

She has an appointment on the tenth and maybe we will learn if there has been any improvement and if there is hope for her vision.  I don't know if that is the date they will fit her for a prism to help her see and if they do if she will be able to return to work or drive again. 

It's been difficult on the both of us.  Besides the obvious of her not being able to see well, she is stuck inside unless I take her somewhere.  I am stuck taking care of her so I'm inside more than I would normally be.  I'm just glad that the recovery period is taking place while there isn't a great deal of yard work that has to be done.  I do have a project I'm working on at the church but it isn't something I have to do on a certain time frame. 

One of the hardest things is trying to hold things together financially.  Most companies will start paying short term disability after an employee has been out two weeks but with her employer she has to submit medical records and get her short-term disability approved before she can draw.  Her accident plan may help some if they will pay.  She did have Afflack but her employer dropped them for Allstate because Afflack refused to bend to Walmarts terms.  Allstate has a reputation as being a slow pay in the supplemental insurance industry. 

We need a source of income other than my social security but after six weeks we have received nothing. 

We have a hospital bill and an air ambulance bill from Mt. Airy, a hospital bill from Baptist, and one coming from Cone.  There will be bills from her regular doctor as well as Southeastern Eye.  We also have our normal bills to take care of.  We have not neglected the health of our kittens either.

Things will get tought and rough around here for awhile but with faith in God and His help, we shall survive.
