Only if it is the Cpap machine that is needed and "HE WEARS IT"
. We are at 53 days, well 52 days and 8 hours..........lol. I called BCBS today to make sure it payed for the sleep lab. The girl said "yes, he is covered, but it is subject to the $300 yearly deductable................ The cath alone was over $$16000.00, yeah it has the right amount of zeros.............
You are so right. I do plan on buying a HUGE tube of super glue
I am glad that the chest pains are gone for him though!! My mom acutally works for the company Respironics that makes the CPAP machines
I acutally used to temp there years and years ago and used to make them too-- I am sure its a updated version now though. My pap and my dad both have a cpap-- sleep apnea runs in my family! It might take a little time to get used to-- but he will have a nice sounds sleep and a safe sleep
girlfriend...I will spare you the cost of Ashton's hosptial visit...thank goodness for BCBS although all these new wonderful new doctors that only work on the hospital floor who only come in to take your vitals (the same as the nurse)and aggravate mom and the best part NONE of them understood what Ashton had; they had no clue what was going on and were trying to order things that were very unnecessary...well off ofthe rant-- BCBS only covers 90/10 of their charges--ugh! and because the genetic lab work was sent to CA --BCBS of LA will not cover it $2500. --now you know why we can't go to the beachYou are so right. I do plan on buying a HUGE tube of super glue
; although I have not started to pay any of the charges except for the hosp copay of $600 + 175 other chgs
...
I will pray for him that everything turns out okay and that he gets good news!!! that does sound like such a vicious cycle i hope that he is feeling better before your disney trip!!
hopefully he will have some answers soon!!
). I'll continue to think about him; that glucose test is not a fun one I've had to do the 5 hr one several times (each time I was pg).
aww poor dale
Oh! what a cycle...get a little meter I keep one since I was PG and when I feel funny I use it--that way he can see what his triggers are(test your levels when you wake up and two hours after you eat--you can find on the internet and most meters will tell you what your levels should be)...I was telling Leanne that I am pre-diabetic and the only way I lose wt is to cut out the rice, pasta, & white potatoes (but cake and candy in moderation doesn't bother me-
. I told Dale he is going to HAVE to modify his eating habits, but I don't know how that is going to go. I had to have the glucose tolerance test when I was pregnant too. I had big babies, but I was never diabetic. He use to go on a diet when I was on one, but he hasn't the this time or last time.
Good luck with that one!! they have wheat pasta, pizza dough, buns,... mom and dad eat all those and even buy this brown rice that is not bad (its not all grainy--Mr. Ben's something like that). I love sweet potatoes out of the microwave will he eat that? so easy to do...w/just a little butter w/ a side of meat...I ate that alot while I was PG.Thank you Desiree, I am hoping it all gets better. The doctor seems to think it will. The biggest problem will be getting Dale to eat right. He is a HORRIBLE eater. Pizza, hamburgers, ff, bread, pasta that is all I can think of........LOL. He will not eat a salad or any kind of vegetable
Thanks Connie. I have a meter I got a while back because I was concerned about Dale's glucose levels. He wouldn't test himself, I will have to do the testing
Thank you so much!! He is sitting in his recliner now SNORING to high heaven.........lol. I don't know how much pizza he ate for dinner, I was at work.
I cook wheat pasta already because of my diet and we do buy wheat buns. Now, pizza dough I haven't tried. I make homemade pizza a couple of times a month, but we usually let Pizza Hut or Dominos do the cooking for us.....
. No Dale will not eat a veggie. I told him he might not have a choice. He said he would rather starve than eat a salad ..

) Danny laughs and says hey thats us!!!
Danny is young to have had a hip replacement, bless his heart. I think weight gain has a lot to do with most of Dale's problems. He got real dizzy today while we were at Sam's and then a bad headache. I gave him some Advil and of course I drove home. After we got home he said the HA was gone, but it felt like his eyes and head was sore. I told him it almost sounds like my migraines, except for the dizziness. I checked his blood sugar and it was 88 so that was not it. I just think he has thrown his whole body off by gaining so much weight.oh I need to clarify; not all Dale's symptoms (not the dizziness or chest pains--thank goodness) I don't know if you remember Danny had his hip replaced... well he is in alot of pain he shouldn't have because of the wt increase and he SNORES so bad that I tease him all that time that he is making Ashton & I deaf not to mention the lack of sleep; when I don't sleep I'm a crab and I feel soooo bad...we were watching a documentary today about the loudmouths of the world (wolves, elephants, crocodiles, etc. man was like number three or four for SNORING they showed a lady and man and the lady tossing and turning
. No it wasn't Dale it was NIKO . I can't win for losing........... I worry about the depression because his mother has a history of depression.
