Hey Marcia, Halloween has definitely changed. When I was a kid it was one night a year where you dressed up and got candy, now it's a weekend extraganza for the kids.
I've just been buisy and glad Halloween is over. I've also been doing my medicare part D research. We have 47 plans available in our area. I do have it narrrowed down to 2 that cover all the meds I take and the ones I need to take. These 2 don't have the 250 deductable and cover the gap from $2200 to 3600 in the basic medicare plan. It's taken a good 15 hours on the phone and net to find this much info. I'm still waiting for the mailed info and Nov 15th when everything is confirmed.
Thanks for asking.
When is your surgery Marcia? I hope your doing well and they have you patched back together soon.Take care, Dave

Well,it's good to know that you are alive and kickin in just researchin.gosh what fun.yea,the halloweens of today are wayy different than the ones i remember,don't see hardly any little goblins out and about anymore.
my surgery is scheduled for the 14th of nov,and i am just sooo incredibly thankful that this little SOB is actually coilable.from what I had been told at first by the IR was that it didn't look good for coiling and my NS told me that clipping in that particular spot would be extremely difficult and rather dangerous(alot more than just the normal dangerous)and he personally would not even attempt it.Sooo, as you can imagine,I was scared outta my freakin mind wondering what in the hell my options(if any??)would actually be here?honest to god Dave,when the iR told me that 'heck,i can coil THAT"i hadn't even realized it but i was like holding my breath for days and all of the sudden my shoulders just relaxed and i let out this huge sigh.in my particular situation considering my neuro weirdness,can you possibly even imagine just what a 'normal" day of having to just monitor would be like for me?oh my god,my neuro status is never stable it keeps evolving and morphing non stop,everyday day in and day out,i would be a flippin basket case in a week.As it is now,I keep freakin out over things that i have had happen before but just attributing them to the nerve damage,but whoknows,this could be comming from the aneurysm symptoms but I just never knew it.you know?It has been very unsettling to say the least.i am still trying to come to terms with this latest bombshell.god, how can this much crap happen to one person or a family you know?I swear,if it is strange,bizarre,rare or almost unheard of,it WILL happen to a member of my family.ever since the day my youngest son vomited up blood at school on oct 6,99,it has all been downhill from there.all I can say is thank god for our excellent health insurance ya know?even with just having to pay co pays,with the sheer volume of all the meds(between me and my son it is 16 per month)and doc visits and lab visits and all my flippin MRis and other rad costs we can never get out of the constant medical debt you know?our ins used to cover MRIs completely but now it is about 20/80 and i just had to have three(one MRI and two MRAs) within the last month and a half.My total MRIs now as of the last I do believe it is around 15 now,since 2001(spine and knee).but compared to some ins ours is probably one of the best actually but boy do we ever pay through the nose for it.our last years premiums came to around eight grand and this years are going to be even more.As they say,ya git what ya pay for.we actually had this same ins when my son had his Tx and you know what we paid out of pocket for his three hundred ninety thousand some odd dollar hosp bill? 40.00.Thats it forty bucks.it would be around still only about 400.00 today,still a bargain i think considering what you get out of it don't you think?
i am rather nervous about the upcomming coiling but i know that my IR is one of the top in the state so I feel I am in good hands.I just worry about how my actual body will respond to and during the procedure as none of my body systems seem to work right anymore since the last surgery mostly due to the extensive hit my SNS took.it really affected alot of functions to some degree.things like my heart rate can become unpredictable at times.should be fun.life is never dull around here ya know?thanks for the good wishes Dave,I will try and let ya all know how things go as soon as i am able.
glad to know things are still okay in Daves world.marcia
