Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Aimee: When you talk to Dr. Levin, you will find that he covers just about everything. I ended up not having to ask any questions because he had already told me everything I wanted to know. As for using a doctor that you don't know: I felt more comfortable going to Dr.Levin and Jewish Hospital because of their reputation. If you still feel uncomfortable, make sure you see your regular doctor before hand and see if he/she feels you are physically OK for surgery. You are in very good, very experienced hands with Dr. L. He is very personable and will make you feel relaxed. Hope all goes well for you! ........Shauna TL - 08/88 - rings TR - 05/03 - Dr. Levin Tube Lengths - 6.5cm and 7cm 2nd cycle since TR cd 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Shauna~ I am sure that things will be fine! I really do trust that Dr.Levin is a great doctor.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Aimee, Yes, coupons are our friends too; we also maximize our grocery dollar when we see the famous buy 1 get 1 free, plus we use angelfoodministries.com (our church is a host site) to supplement our food budget. No one is going hungry. We went with the bundle for our cable (no frills, just basic), internet and home phone. We do have a cell phone plan but it truly cannot be beat because of the discounts I get (my DH's is basically free as long as we can stay below 1500 minutes, so I use the house phone when home and after 7pm and on weekends, we use the cells...lol). If I am not mistaken, I do not believe major utilities can be disconnected to homes where there is a medical need for the utilities (i.e. in my case, I have COPD, I would need a phone in case of a life- threatening event; my kids are special needs kids, one has possible seizure disorder), but that requires going in and checking with the folks face-to-face. It's not easy for any of us to pull ourselves out of any hole we dug ourselves into.....I'm seeing that all over the place. Our meds sometimes cause us to make choices we shouldn't have to make. But I know there are programs out there by some major pharmaceutical companies to help folks get their meds. We're all in this boat together. I think if we have good tips to pass on to help someone out, we need to do it. Aimee, I like your idea abou the St. De group - my aunt and uncle are part of that and they are always donating stuff, have a food pantry, etc. As for bankruptcy, well, it's NOT the end of the world. It does " mess things up " for a period of years, but you know what? If that is what it takes to get the wolf off the door and get some breathing room, then so be it. As the saying goes " this too shall pass " ! ((((Hugs to all my fibro friends in the debt nightmare)))) Darlene > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
