Four times what Medicare patients pay and I am thinking better care everyone I know on Medicare seems to get what they need care wise unless they can't have a surgery due to health.<br />When I finally get Medicare if it is still around by then I have heard it's going to be gutted by Obama care along with panels that decide for me if I need procedure or surgery. I will also be on a fixed budget retired and have heard by the time I apply it will be twice the amount if there at all. Too bad our legislators were allowed to use Medicare as their private loan company and they do not pay back that money. Oh and I "entitled" another problem legilslators see Medicare users as like they don't get the best and the "entitled" I want medical care they have but only elitist get that medical care.Susienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-77959324692900379092012-03-24T15:46:49.283-04:002012-03-24T15:46:49.283-04:00Marci!

How quickly I gain use of my limb (right arm)again depends on how faithfully I do the exercises. <br />So far, so good.

I know that my medical bills outstrip my monthly income by twice. So, for those that don't get it, remember, just because it is a government program, it isn't FREE.<br /><br />That sucks on the bra front! Yikes! I hate having to struggle with clothing!

Dr will not do anything until I can close hand so looks like I am going to be the way I am the rest of my life. I am not on Medicare seems like the drs that do take it are attentive and willing to help seniors. I am a senior but who knows by the time I am eligible if Medicare will even exist. In meantime I keep paying my huge medical bills to just belong to an HMO and be able to have a decent hospital to go to in an emergency.Susienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-38464015567430585202012-03-23T14:00:57.560-04:002012-03-23T14:00:57.560-04:00Can't get into sports bras for a loooonnnng ti...Can't get into sports bras for a loooonnnng time. Can barely lift my arm. And am not supposed to! Ha first session with therapy folks today. Speed of recovery depends on how much I do the exercises. <br /><br />Clothes with fronts that close are my new favorite--even though I am a big fan of turtle necks, cowl necks, etc. <br /><br />Thanks, Lori.Lorraine Duskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285341379272250245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-8923752156281560842012-03-23T12:26:34.263-04:002012-03-23T12:26:34.263-04:00Well, cool.

The only way to make a change is to speak up, vote and be heard!<br /><br />The arm will heal, given time and energy.<br /><br />You look FABULOUS! I prefer au naturel to any kind of other crap. Sports bras are wonderful! No messing with hooks, zippers or other pain in the behind fasteners!<br /><br />Be well!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05815710859859029536noreply@blogger.com
