Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 HI, I know who you meant. She's at school. I don't know how she's gonna do thought. Sort of waiting by the phone for the nurse to call. She's hurting, but I wanted her to try to go to school, thinking that if she moved around it would feel better. When I hurt my back, sometimes it helps to keep moving, unless it's really bad. And, when my shoulder gets like that, the more I try to move it, the better it gets. So, she's not in terrible pain. I gave her a vicodin, and sent to off, hoping she'll get through the day. She has a dr appt for this afternoon. I hope he will want to scedule an MRI. I'm waiting for her counselor to call so we can get the ball rolling on whatever we are gonna do - the 504, an IEP, or a home health tutor. With the dr's note, I'm sure we can do whatever we decide. How are you feeling, by the way? I have problems with my supraspinatus muscle. Terrible. They feel like rocks. I have a little hear in there somewhere. But, not bad enough for surgery (so the orthopedic dr says). But, he's not the one feeling all the pain! So, your surgery is next Thursday. How are you feeling about that? For me, surgery is always scarey. I hope it all goes ok, and that they can fix the problem. Hugs, Moncia Re: silver ring splints - Hi You should do fine with your insurance, but call first. I had the first ones & actually wrote an article about them in Loose Connections over 10 years ago. I am already on my second set & my insurance paid twice, but definitely call them first & will do anything to help you. As said before, I would also call Cindy (). She told me that she has a list of people in all areas, that she has personally trained at O.T. conferences, etc. After she's satisfied they can do the job, she supplies them with all of the sizing rings, etc., that you may have seen her use at our conferences. She also told me a couple of years ago, that WE are the only group that she actually comes to herself. She doesn't do it for any other group. She just refers people out into their own communities to deal with someone local, that she has trained. And you will be best off having a " letter of medical necessity " & like Barb, skip the " Silver " part. And do have it all on a doctors letterhead/prescription & be sure that they are also decried as " durable medical equipment, " just as a wheelchair would be. Good luck. I'm sure you'll do fine.
