Nibbs XLII (Page 31)

kns57 - 2010-01-08 3:13 AM Hello Nibbs and Happy New Year.

Went to California to visit my daughter and grandkids.  Caught a cold from the plane and just as I was leaving CA, two of the grandkids started sneezing.  I'm really hoping that I did not get all 4 of them sick.  That would be awful for my daughter.

My son-in-law goes to Saudi Arabia the end of January for a year and my daughter will basically be a single mother with 4 kids for that year.  It is going to be tough.  And hard for us to help from 3000 miles away.

It makes me wish that we didn't have to worry about it here.  It is very frustrating.  It means they may have to switch doctors, which is not what my dad needs right now because he has to have his thyroid cancer really closely monitored and possibly another surgery.

It's just a lot for them to deal with.

Bizarre.  I wonder how many people will get it as adults in the future.  They are immunizing almost all kids, but that won't last forever.

Yeah i think they are immunising here too... just those of us who are adults already I guess have either had it or are in danger...

I know the doc said to me if I ever get shingles to go straight to the hospital... something to do with the immune system and my tummy condition...

I dont think contact with someone who has the active virus would be enough to reactivate it though... Ive done some google searching and doesnt seem to be a link

D001 - 2010-01-07 8:31 PM Well, that suxs. Maybe they can call the doctor's office, to see if they can work something out?

D001 - 2010-01-07 8:32 PM Want to contemplate something even scarier --> Smallpox....

Yes.  However, smallpox is considered eradicated.  That's what massive immunizations can do. 

D001 - 2010-01-07 9:10 PM Yes, but... http://www.bt.cdc.gov/agent/smallpox/prep/cdc-prep.asp

kaqphin - 2010-01-06 10:24 PM Turns out there is a chicken pox outbreak at work...

Im amazed how many people havent had it as children!

Interesting.

I remember it vividly.  I was in first grade.  Dang, talk about being itchy!

Artemis - 2010-01-08 10:07 AM Morning everyone!  I'm so happy it's Friday!

Wow that is tough! Im sure she can at least call you for  vent/stress relief etc when she needs it so that will help some.. what does her husband do? I was thinking military but I know a lot of international companies would have offices there too...

D001 - 2010-01-07 7:33 PM Wow, that will be tough. Any way she can spend time in GA with you? Or that you can spend time in CA with her?

1stTimeTri - 2010-01-07 8:35 PM

Feeling better?

Awww, man - that IS going to be very tough.  I didn't read it if he's in the service.  If he is, let's hope for a quick and safe tour.

Afternoon all.  Ice caused the libraries to open at noon today.  We are hoping they will close us early so that we can all drive home in the daylight since the ice is not going to melt in the freezing temperatures today.  Have you ever seen a southern drive in snow or ice?  They can't. 

kns57 - 2010-01-08 9:21 AM

we are trying to work out possibilities.  I'm hoping that she can come out for an extended stay in the summer.  We have a pool in our neighborhood which would make it easy for her and the kids.  Plus trying to figure out when we can go out there and be a help.  It's tough with the two older boys in school trying to make it work for everyone.

mchally - 2010-01-08 9:52 AM Hey folks...I have been working on sorting out my little health insurance mess...

So far I am looking at $995 in bills that they will not pay.  The papers they sent me are worded poorly (legal mumbo jumbo) so there are another 4-5 visits that I am not sure what the status is.  I put in a phone call, but they have a reputation for not returning them. 
It looks like all the paperwork my dr and I submitted for a transfer of inpatient visit coverage to outpatient visits may not have processed in time to cover any of my appointments.  Convenient for the insurance company...

mchally - 2010-01-08 1:09 PM

OOOOOhhh

I just got a call back from the gal at the insurance company...she is going to push the date back a bit so it covers more visits as well as covering my psychologist if he writes up a clinical summary.
