New members welcome!

[Guest guest]

Dear new members,

Welcome to all the new members. It is nice to have a place to find

out things that doctors either forget to tell you or just don't think is

important. I have learned more from this wonderful group than I ever

learned from the doctors. I have learned to be my daughters advocate

and now I always request my own set of MRI's whenever they are needed.

Having the written report of any findings or surgeries is also helpful

when we have to deal with going to California and non Kaiser doctors.

your trip sounds almost like our vacation from hell. One

year we were driving to California and our car died on the way home back

to Colorado. We spent an extra week in Barstow and I hate the desert!

We waited all that time while they were fixing our car and we ended up

selling it to the mechanic there anyway. My husband had to get a bus to

Las Vegas and rent a car for us to drive back to Denver.

I can't recall if I told you all but my husband quit his job as

mailman. I couldn't believe with only one year left to retire he did

this to us. I think it was taking its toll on his health. He found a

new job working for Frontier Airlines and so now when we have to go to

HEI in Los Angeles we can fly for free. Tom, Karina and I can fly for

free to any destination Frontier flies into. Since we seem to spend so

much time going to Calif. this will help.

I never realized that so many of you have such terrible pain.

Karina still has her painful headaches but they aren't as often as they

were. Her pain is usually on one side of the head. It is on the

paralyzed side and I wonder if this is feeling and sensation coming

back?

Again welcome to all the new members!

Hi ...isn't is funny how things will work out and we get the things

we need rather than want?? I hope your trips are made much easier with

the flights.

Hugs, Carol
