I have actually had nurses tell me that insurance requires it if I want them

to pay!! I KNOW that isn't true!!

Ahhhhhh, ha, ha, ha, what a lie!!!! I worked as a nurse for thirteen years

and actually was responsible for doing the billing for a number of

insurances.......that would be the spot you write, " patient refused to be

weighed " . LOL!!! Oh well, right ........live and learn. But

considering all the swelling/edema you've been having I wouldn't recommend it

for you just now.

Hugs,
