God Favors Me!
Good Morning. It’s a great Tuesday! Three quick things I want to talk about but first let me say, thank you for indulging me as I share with you. This is a tough time for me in more than one aspect of my life, but I’m good! (I’m faking it till I make it Pastor Fonzer!)
#1. The first Kleverkathy Couple’s Caribbean Cruise is set to sail October 24 – 31, 2010! We are gonna have a blast! Why do I mention this? Because I’m going to do it again! This time we are taking seven couples, next time I’d like to take double that or more! So… I am going to begin working on the next one tentatively for let’s say, June 2012! Stay tuned. In the meantime if you have travel needs, might I recommend Aleece Rothandler with Omega World Travel, 703-359-8888. She has been a great travel agent and I look forward to working with her in the future. (shoot me! I’m a marketer!)
#2. Please pray with/for me today as I have a phone interview at 11:30 this morning. Typically I don’t share these types of things with a lot of people because there is always the chance I won’t get it but… I have given it over to God so no matter what happens, I believe Him for His will and I am not worried about it! Getting this job would catapult me into the next phase of my life, but if it is not the Lord’s will, I’ll wait. It is a Department of the Army job and the transition would be almost seamless. I’m excited!
#3. Here is my health update. I had the ultrasound of my heart and carotid arteries Friday, no results yet. Getting to the most important specialist – the neurologist – is the problem! It is apparent I am not myself because any other time I would have raised the roof until I got that appointment! Here’s where we stand.
Friday I went to the office to ask why I hadn’t gotten my appt. After sitting there for 6 -7 full minutes while she was on the phone, finally she finishes and I explain that this is the third time I have been here about my neurology appt! She immediately gave me a print out that said a referral to an off post doctor was approved the day before! What!? I asked, if I hadn’t come in, would nobody had continued the process, made me an appt and called me? She assured me they would. So she picked up the phone to call to make my appt right then. It’s 4:30 by now and they are closed! She told me she will fax all my info to them and it would be waiting for them when they get to work Monday.
Monday… (tapping my toes). Finally, half way through the day, I call and she tells me… (wait for it!) there is only ONE neurologist in Columbus (the second largest city in Georgia! ) and the earliest he can see me is September 15th!!! OMG! So she tells me, she put herself in my shoes and she went ahead and called a neurologist in Opelika (25 miles away) and is waiting to hear from them. How magnanimous of her, don’t you think!
Here’s the thing, my first attack was Sunday, August 1st. My MRI was Tuesday, August 3rd. My second attack was Monday, August 9th and today it is Tuesday, August 17th and I am NO closer to an answer than I was Saturday, July 31st before this began! I have been advised on more than one occasion to fake an attack just to go to an off post hospital and maybe I will get quick results. That is not really me but… the thought of it is becoming more appealing. Daily I have at least the symptoms that scare me into thinking, another attack is coming on. I pray through it and it doesn’t overtake me but I am still worried. Today is it! I will have an appointment with the neurologist by close of business! I still have the joy of the Lord and I am still blessed! In the words of Hezekiah Walker: I know God favored me because my enemies did try, but couldn’t triumph over me! Yes they did try but couldn’t triumph over me. I’m still here, I’m still alive, I’m still blessed, on my way to my destiny, because the favor of God is on my life!
Not exactly sure what’s wrong, but I’ll be praying for you.
Hello, Kathy. I am glad to hear that you were able to get a sooner appointment with a neurologist. I hope that you start feeling better soon and that your phone interview goes well. You are truly blessed by God. He loves you unconditionally. Have a wonderful day and I will continue to pray for you.
@Trina Fonzer – Me either Trina! That’s the problem, lol. Thank you for your prayers!
@Dana R. Barnes – Thank you!
Evryone needs to understand this: we do not want a government health care system. I’m retired from the military and there are two things I can say without fear of retribution: Bush was a huge idiot and military health care is horrible. I have more Motrin than I can use because military doctors give it out for almost everything. I believe some of these doctors join the military to get out of paying malpractice insurance. Frustrating and helpless is how this system leaves you feeling.

@Tom Sawyer – and frustrated and helpless is how I still feel! Today at approx. 11:10 I called again to the referral and authorization office. I explained that I understand that I am just another patient but I need to know what is going on with my health and it is crucial I see a neurologist. She asked for my husband’s SS#, read my growing file and says the other lady in the office will have to help me. She placed me on hold for about 2 minutes and comes back and says the other lady is still with another customer and she is the one handling my information and she will call me back.
I vowed to have an appt. by end of business today and I am down to 2 1/2 hours and still no appt! Ridiculous!
Wow…I’ve never heard of a hospital being that raggedy! Ick! Hopefully everything will work out okay! Cause we neeeed you!
Hello Kathy,
I must agree…the hospital at Benning is horrible…remember when I had to write to Gov. Mike Rogers just to get better treatment for my son, The hospital up here in TX is a little better even though I know that it does not help your situation. I pray that everything works out for you. Have you called Tricare to request a referral to an offpost doctor since MACH cant get you any appts. anytime soon? On to another note, Congratulations on that phone interview.. how’d it go…I want you to know that you should look into writing books…girl I miss you so much..I look forward to going to work and reading your daily devotions…keep them coming girl, you are so inspirational to me….If every one had a friend like you in their life, the world would be a more happier place to live in..I needed you to say those words from Mr. H. Walker when I lost my job, got framed, dogged out, and talked about as if I was the next black President….I have come to grips with it, because I now see everything that you were trying to tell me while working there…I luv you, Ms. KleverKathy and don’t ever forget that…and to all of those hating people in the workplace, “your hate builds my motivation to succeed”..and that I have done, I now work for the gov’t….how about you…Kathy sorry to use your page for this, but I had to get it out and they know who they are…
@Tanya Bullock – Tanya I agree with everything you have said! I am sorry we didn’t have longer to be together and build our friendship! I hope we always stay in touch and maybe one day we’ll cross paths again by accident or on purpose! Love you!
Kathy,
Praying for you. Jesus is our source of strength.
Sorry I’m reading this so late but we’ve talked and I’ve got a feeling everthinbg’s gonna be alright!! Love Hez”s song and receive the favor for us all!!
Hi Honey, this I know this is a first in such a long time. Jesus got you covered. I love you, always have, always will in spite of my shortcomings, my faults, my weakness for the wrong reasons. I pray a prayer of some kind everyday for you, your family, our family. I Love You.
