Guest guest Posted September 17, 1999 Report Share Posted September 17, 1999 << I wonder how painful it actually is? any guesses Angie >> Angie -- I've had eyelid surgery twice, and it's really not that bad. I didn't even use my pain medication. It doesn't hurt as much as it feels really tight and swollen. Ice will help a lot. Now they even have some kind of drug that they inject so that the swelling won't be so bad -- you may want to ask them about that. They key to the ice is to use something soft and moldable like crushed ice or frozen popcorn seeds. This way you don't have edges jabbing. Even those gel ice pack things get hard. I hope everything works out for her. Shanin ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 1999 Report Share Posted September 27, 1999 No Angie, Let me call you. I have 2, 10 minute phone cards I got free from the net that I want to use up before they expire so I will call you. Rain here today and didn't need a weather forecast to know it either. Woke up (if what I did was considered sleep) with lots of pain in ribs so I know what the forecast is before I even turn on the TV. I'm better than Willard !

Guest guest Posted September 27, 1999 Report Share Posted September 27, 1999 I just received a phone call from Texas. It was from a social worker in San She has a client whose name is Bobby. he is 36 YR. married and in deep trouble. He needs a stent put in and has no insurance. The doctor will do the surgery but the hospital wants money. Medicaid refused to pay the hospital bill so he is searching for the hospital funds. Any one have ANY ideas at all. Since this is an orphan disease state agencies are refusing to pay as they claim the surgery is experimental. Time is of the essence here. so put on your thinking caps and lets come up with something Thanks Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 1999 Report Share Posted September 27, 1999 Angie, Doesn't the hospital have grants or funds for just this thing? Oh, just reread your letter I see that options being investigated. Maybe what Janet said, NORD. Isn't there another organization like NORD? Oooooh I can't think of the name of it now.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 1999 Report Share Posted September 27, 1999 , Doesn't your body become immune to the antibiotic after so long a time? Of course, I have a niece that's taken amoxicillian since she was 8 months old and she is now 9 years old, so I guess not huh? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> From: dlbmo@...

Guest guest Posted October 12, 1999 Report Share Posted October 12, 1999 a little personal background. already knows this so here goes. several years ago 6 to be exact. I lost my house to forclosure, Jerry was a gambler big time. He retired early and I was left with no insurance. I have medicaid I fought with them for 2 months over the methotrexate and don't have the strength for another battle. They will not pay for a pain management specialist either, I have tried. So since Jerry is retired and he went early we live on crap a month, my SSD pays the rest with 25 left over so paying for it is not an option if we want to eat. Jerry check pays the utilities, fortunately all paid to date. Janey if you can send me or direct me to where I can find out more on the sleeping aid I will print it out and stuff it in my doctors throat when I see him for my lab report. I have never asked this man for serious pain meds never, I never asked for percocettes, he just gave them to me or any of the other ones. not I hacve two vicodin ES left and no refills and I am in a lot of pain. The psycharist is sounding better and better but bet the ins won't pay for that either.
