Title: Just thought I'd stop in and say hi...
Post by mischki on Dec 3rd, 2008 at 12:16am
... it's been quite awhile.  I've been lurking, though.

Watching hubby on the floor in front of me, alternate between doing pushups and rocking on his knees with his head in his hands as he waits for the imitrex to kick in, made me want to poke my head in and say hello.

Just clicked "buy it now" on an O2 tank on eBay (the co-pay for the rental is getting stupid - I could have owned that equipment by now!  Shoulda listened to Jonny... oh well.  Better late than never I guess.).  Still got the Clustermask and I'm looking for a cheap regulator now (yep, a high-flow one)...

Richard went from episodic to chronic a while back, and if it weren't for this site, our AWESOME doctor, and being approved for disability, I don't know what we would have done!

Anyways, to the newbies, listen to these folks.  They know what they're talking about.  (At least about CH... ;) )

To the folks here that were so kind to me when I first joined and posted in complete panic, you will never know how much you've helped us!  I can't even begin to express my gratitude...

So I wish all y'all PFD&N!

'Til next time,

Mischki

Wow!  Thanks so much Rolo!  Who knew there were that many kinds of thingamabobs?!  Now, if I can just find my medi-techie to English translator... :)  Just kidding!

I will look at this more deeply when it's not WAAY past my bedtime and I can actually see all the words on the screen...

In the meantime, thanks again!  To all of you!  I meant it!

Thanks for stopping by to say "hi", Mischki.  Good to see you again, and glad to hear that you're well.  Say hello to Richard for us, will you?

Best wishes,

George

And one more bit of thanks for being a supporter. Without my wife, holding my hand thru 29 years of this stupid affliction, I'd have lost my mind decades ago. You're a special person and we never say thank you enough to you guys. [smiley=hug.gif]

Just a quick update.  I had one small victory today - I talked to our Insurance Plan Analyst yesterday to appeal our quantity limit on Richard's Imitrex and she called back this morning and it's been doubled.  Yay!

The oxygen tank hasn't gotten here though, and when I contacted the eBay seller about it, he said "it mysteriously vanished from the warehouse" (yeah, right) and he was working on a refund of my money ("working on?"  Just give it to me already! Geez!).

So I called the company Rolo suggested - and they are GREAT!  Very helpful.  I talked to a guy there named Brandon and he was full of wonderful information!  Thanks again, Rolo!

Richard says hi back!  He's had a VERY tough week - running out of medicine is NOT a good thing...

Thanks again to all of you who have helped us out along the way!

PFDAN to all!

Michelle
