Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 Gracie, Have you called the Social Security office and asked for a print out of how much Ed would get if he went on disability? Perhaps if he saw in black and white the amount the check would be, he could relax a bit. The 2 of you could sit down and do a budget with that amount and see if you can make it. Barb in Texas ( Son, Ken - UC 1991 PSC 8/1999 ) on disability, but, financially it would really hurt us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Gracie I rarely if ever drink diet soda now. I use non carbonated flavored bottled waters instead. But there are times that my stomach is just so upset the only thing that seems to help is the syrup in those sodas. A couple days after I came home from surgery I was so sick- and my mom put a diet soda in the blender till she got the bubbles out. A few sips and the ill feeling passed almost immediately. Just passing along that advice just in case. I know how terrible I can feel sometimes, that seems to be one of the things that helps me recover. That and the GAS X tablets you can chew.
