Well Hello everybody!,

I know ive been kinda quiet lately. Alot of stuff going on with my body so

I'm trying to get things sorted out. I have an appointement tommorow for

this Morton's Neuroma. ( which has seemed to settle down from the anti

inflamitory drugs ie... ibprofen ) and then I had an appointment with the

Diabetes Educator about insulin Pumps. Of course after waiting for over 3

weeks i get there and she says she doesnt DO insulin pumps. That i have to

go to a Dr. that is over an hour away to get even SEEN to talk about

getting one. I dont know if my insurance will pay for it or what not. I

have 3 insurances! THREE and you'd think ONE would pay. WHo knows, they

are pretty annoying.

And then to top it off my poor dog has a yeast infection in her ear and the

vet wont give me anything without an appointment!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh they are so FREAKING expensive too. So, shes got an

appointment on thrus. Right now she not happy, shes crying and rubbing her

head all over my floor. LOL. Poor girl.

Any way. Thats whats up here.

Oh and im in a crummy mood, and im grouchy. :-)

Hiya Mel,

I think you should give Mortin back his Neuroma, cause you dont need

it hon. Sounds yucky. How did you get it? Who do you have to see for

that one?

Ah the good ol travelling three hundred hours to see a Dr that tells

you that they cant do anything.. . dont you just HATE that. Thats why

I turned down being " Freak of the week. " When my own Dr's are

saying " Well you can go if you want to...... " you think hmmmmmmmm

nup. Good luck sweety.

Honestly you Yankies have the strangest health insurances. Three

health insurances? Thats just weird! LOL.

The yeast infection - yoghurt. Put pure yoghurt on the little ones

ear. It naturally kills yeast infections, and it doesnt matter if it

licks a bit off as it will do no harm to the pup. Might help.

lol, You're grouchy! LOLOLOLOL... I get a vision of you having this

temper tantrum! Stamping your feet and trying to be seriously angry

but cracking up laughing! *grins*

*slips you a shot of grouch-no-more*

ROTFLMAO...

*hugs*

Love ish.

Hi Isha,

" I think you should give Mortin back his Neuroma, cause you dont need

it hon. Sounds yucky. How did you get it? Who do you have to see for

that one? "

I'd like to give Morton back his Neuroma but you see he's dead and not

accepting any more returns. LOL I have NO Idea how you get it, As far as i

know you just do. I heard that alot of atheletes get it. And who do i have

to see. Well i saw an othapedic dude. Forgive my spelling here. My sister

said he was AWFUL. But I thought he was nice, just a REALLY busy guy. He

gave me some pills and said, Lets see if you respond to this, if not then

we can try some shots, and then if not that you have to have it removed. If

you' d like i could give you a link that SHOWS it being removed. Its kinda

icky.

Then i had ONE wavering moment last night, when i said, WHY am I doing this

to myself? Why do i need to have a child? I said something about it to my

husband, and he said I thought you already made up your mind. Which put me

in a dither and I totally lashed out at him, telling him that he's not the

one who has to have some medical device attached to him 24/7, hes not the

one whos gotta carry it. NOt the one who gets mood swings ect.... I was

ripped LOL

But in the end I hope this is all worth it and i end up with a happy

healthy baby. I just wish the Dr.s and HMO's would WORK with me and not

AGAINST me. They may not give me the pump because i ONLY take 2 shots a

day. when i get pregnant i would have to take 4 to 6 SHOTS a day! And for

some reason they think this is OK. Well ITS NOT OK WITH ME> IT HURTS. My

abdomen is brused from hitting blood vessles, im sore and it sucks. BUT

since its ME taking these shots and not THEM I suppose it would seem like

no big deal. I thought that this was going to be the better, easier route

but its turing out to be HELLLLLLLL>

Trying to figure out weather or not ill be a good " Candidate " for the damn

thing. Then finding out weather or not insurance will PAY for the damn

thing. Which, by the way, would cost me $4000.00- $5000.00 bucks just FOR

THE MACHINE> Not including the tubing and the catheter set. ITS HELL. And

even with 3 insurances I STILL AM GETTING BLOODY NO WHERE!

Did i tell you insurance sucks. Of course having NO insurance SUCKS worse,

cause then NOBODY will see you and they treat you like trash.

Ok im done now. I just DONT like this world right now. NOTHING is going

right here in good ol' USA.

Sheesh.
