RN, NC here is another suggestion. My daughter had an infection and had to had 24/7 IV meds. Our insurance didn't cover it or most of it. (Needed a pump at home.) In order to save them and us $ (much more expensive to keep her in the hospital), our insurance co. was able to "Flex the Benefits." We had a case manager (nurse practitioner employed by our insur. co.) who set up the insurance to cover the pump, picc line dressing changes, and all other things re: the iv. We had to pay a portion of the meds. (our normal part for Rx probably) but the rest was covered even though it wasn't covered on our policy.

Good luck, insur. is just such a hassle sometimes.

RN I am also worried about Huk and anyone else who doesn't have insur. My advice, do whatever you can to be able to afford at least some plan even if it's with a high deductible. If those what ifs happen, you'll be able to work out a payment plan with the hospital or drs. to cover that deductible...or can use credit cards or whatever. But w/o insur...something like the not rare appendicitis can end up costing $100,000.

RN: I had a great weekend went to the Iowa winter fire school and leard alot about fire fighting. and passed the R.I.T. class. it teaches you how to go get fire fighters that go down in a house fire. go in and get them and get out fast and safe as you can. any way you can.
I got to break walls to get out. that was fun ( most of them were in there 20's and this 40yr old keeped up with them):-)

RN I wanted to report back to those awaiting the results the doggie anti-poop-eating pills:

That all natural poop eating deterrent I gave my dog works! It really was a pain throughout the whole ordeal because you have to give your dog 1 pill for every 10 LB of their weight, and plus EVERY time she came back in the house from being outside I had to pry open her mouth and check her breath. It's been about 7 days since I quit giving her the pills and she still hasn't had poop breath, so I think it worked. (btw, I also had to give the pills to my little beagle. Not because she eats poops, but because we weren't sure if poop-eater black Lab Candy was eating eating her turds, too)

RN, I also want to add that it took at least a week (maybe a little longer) of the pills before she actually stopped chomping on the poops. It wasn't instant.

RN, I know this info will be usefull in the future. Someone will be talking about dogs eating poop, and I will speak up about a cure.

They will all look at me in that sideways way.

I will shrug and say "I do not know how I know."

but in my mind I will be thinking....TVCH knows all.

RN, went to the casino yesterday with a friend who was celebrating her 50th birthday. I came home $128.50 richer, and that was after buying lunch! I think I'll be responsible with my winnings and save some...maybe 50 cents. Then I'll buy $128.00 worth of Nestle's Quik and some candy. That sounds reasonable, doesn't it?

RN, Huk, I think you need to reserve $1.00 for new straws to slurp the Nestle's Quick from.

RN, gotta love a school that keeps it's teachers hooked up to internet. I emailed Caleb's teachers to get his homework for the last two days (since it's a long weekend and he won't be going anywhere he has time.) Every one of them emailed me back within 25 minutes with assignments and wishes for a quick recovery.

RN congrats, Huk!

RN all of the final paperwork and such was finished today for me to go on oxygen. I just didn't quit smoking soon enough and now I'm paying for it. My oxygen levels are so low I couldn't even have minor surgery. I have an appt for 9AM tomorrow to get the oxygen and be shown how to use it. Then in about a week I'll be fitted for the bipap at night. So, I'll be on oxygen 24/7 now.

RN, thanks everybody!

Twinkie, even though it will be a PITA, I hope the oxygen makes you feel better than you have in ages! I wonder if it would help you qualify for Soc Sec Disability?

RN Huk, hubby and I were just talking about that today. I would think that being on oxygen, plus the diabetes, high blood pressure, and many other things probably would qualify me. I should probably apply. I sure hope the oxygen helps me feel better, thanks!

RN Twinkie sorry you have to be on oxygen but glad you are going to be feeling better. With the oxygen & the BiPap, you should feel better.

Heading to your folder to talk more BiPap crap - hubby had his appointment too.

RN,i hate to say it, unless she has more than what she has listed, you don't qualify for Federal Disability. You can still get some things, like a doctor may sign for a disability plaque for your car for driving. I have stage 4 CKD, get exhausted easily, all of the things twinks has listed, plus more, and until i'm on Dialysis - no disability.

RN I know people with fewer problems than I have who are on SS disability and yes, I do have more problems than I listed.
