Sprite, how are you doing?
5:11 am

doing pretty well, thanks. Healing up properly and eating is becoming a little less challenging. And how are you doing?
5:14 am
Dianne
I am glad to hear that all is going well. Soon you will doing so many things better and easier. I'm doing o.l. just a bit frazzled with getting ready tomove back to the USA/
5:14 am
sprite
oh wow... that is a huge step. How long have you been living in hong kong?
5:15 am
Dianne
We've been out here more than 20 years.
5:16 am
sprite
that is a really long time. Probably will be just as big a change as the initial moving to hong kong! Are you returning to a part of the states you know well?
5:18 am
Dianne
We have an apartment in Florida. So that is where we are going. Hpefully we will be able to sell it and find one a bit bigger before too long.
5:19 am
sprite
exciting, Dianne!
5:21 am
Dianne
I am not thrilled with it - I like the city life we have here. I can walk to everything. Where our place in Florida is you have todrive everywhere.
5:21 am
sprite
aw :( So why the move then, if it is ok to ask?
5:23 am
Dianne
It is the smart thing to do financially. We own the place in Florida and owners are not allowed to rent. So it is sitting empty while we are payinga big rent out here.
5:25 am
sprite
that is really sad. And you have of course considered selling in Florida and buying a very cheap small thing? Or even selling alltogether?
5:28 am
Dianne
It is time for us to be back in the U.S. We are able to get affordable medical care because we are seniors. Pur families live in the U.S.
5:29 am
sprite
well I hope you have some things to really look forward to in the states then, Dianne. It is hard to leave a place you love.
5:29 am
grannyrose
and back showered, hair washed, in my jammies, meds. ready. *settles back into armchair* well, g'day dianne. big move dear.
5:30 am
Dianne
It is amazing how much stuff you can accumulate. The idea of "spring cleaning" is a really good thing. Too bad I didn't do a thorough cleaning and trashing every year - things would be easier now!
5:30 am
sprite
*wonders how rose manages to only shower her back*
5:30 am
grannyrose
hahahaha sprite. ;-P
5:31 am
sprite
oh I hear you! We need to clean out here too. I have been too ill/depressed/handicapped for so many years and things have accumulated beyond belief.
5:31 am
sprite
*giggles* silly rose!
5:32 am
grannyrose
yeah sprite?? try still going through MIL's stuff, bags of my mother's stuff, and boxes in the garage which have been there for over 11 years and need to be vetted.
5:33 am
sprite
ugh, that is a lot of stuff too
5:33 am
grannyrose
it's ghastly how it has all built up. i know what you have been through, and i so wish i could pop on over and help you out.
5:34 am
Dianne
We need a new rule - if you bring something new into the house something old has to go out the same day.
5:34 am
sprite
so do I. crazy idea we are half a globe apart
5:34 am
sprite
very good idea!
5:35 am
grannyrose
good one, but where do you throw a husband to? recycling, green waste or the tip?
5:35 am
sprite
I would put him on the street, rose. I bet there is somebody who is just yearning to have one for their own and will pick him up.
5:35 am
Dianne
recycling could be fun.
5:36 am
grannyrose
fat chance sprite. at their peril, i say.
5:36 am
sprite
my love and I were married 20 years last saturday :D We just decided to go another 20 years together, so I am keeping mine!

Hi Car. How are you? How is your back? How are the boys doing in the new school year?
5:50 am
sprite
ugh all those re words
5:50 am
car.eeyore
I'm ok. Injections for my back were denied, so I am now appealing that. Boys are doing great!
5:51 am
Scrabbler
Yes, appeal!
5:51 am
sprite
why were they denied?
5:51 am
Scrabbler
Damn health insurance companies!
5:52 am
sprite
there should be a law that before denying someone a treatment, the person judging should have the pain for a week.
5:52 am
grannyrose
volleydee had trouble with her injections too. she ended up out of pocket mega bucks.
5:54 am
car.eeyore
As of August 1st, my insurance company now requires all such procedures be authorized by the National Imaging Association...for what purpose I am not sure. I had 2 doctor referrals already in place. NIA denied it because they did not have documentation that I went to PT (yes, for 4 months), a chiropractor (no), or had tried medication therapy (which I don't want to do). I had to contact my PT which then sent over the summary. Now I am waiting to hear....... In the meantime, I am just about back to where I was as I only got a shot in my left SI joint and not the right one, so I've been walking around lopsided. :(
5:54 am
car.eeyore
Sorry, that's long.
5:54 am
sprite
tough break, car :(
5:55 am
grannyrose
don't insurance companies just give you the total irrits??
5:55 am
Scrabbler
I have spoken to NIA docs frequently and I always make the story grim so they have no choice. Or, if you know a lawyer, get a letter from a lawyer.
5:55 am
car.eeyore
The whole thing is stupid. If the insurance company wanted to implement that for NEW claims...fine. Don't mess with those already in place and under treatment.
5:56 am
Scrabbler
The NIA docs are snots but I have found them easy to speak with--they have always approved my requests.
5:58 am
Scrabbler
The NIA docs, I think, are told to deny everything.
5:58 am
sprite
Scrabs must write you a letter, car :)
5:58 am
car.eeyore
Well, that is not helpful at all.
5:59 am
Scrabbler
Car, your doc must speak with an NIA doc.
5:59 am
car.eeyore
I had the left SI joint done and then couldn't get the right one done, so now I'm back to square one again.
5:59 am
car.eeyore
I spoke to the NIA...that's how I found out what they were missing.
6:00 am

grannyrose
well friends i would like to run a little something past you all. as you know from my profile i am only 63. ultrasound shows i have advanced osteo in both hips, and i have ruptured both anterior and posterior tendons in my hips. the only possible cause is a major trauma.
6:39 am
grannyrose
why won't workcover accept the fall is what has done this?
6:40 am
periwinkle
because they do not want to put out any money?
6:40 am
sukee
It is ridiculous that they don't. Of course it is what obviously caused it.
6:40 am
lbdawger
did the workers comp cover the initial injury?
6:41 am
grannyrose
yes dawg
6:41 am
lbdawger
they probably have a clause for pre-existing condition. stupid, but it also can be litigated as having not been properly or thoroughly treated.
6:43 am
grannyrose
*scratching head* it wasn't until after the surgery and i was struggling to get back to work that the pain in my hips surfaced. i feel like i am between a rock and a hard place.
6:43 am
lbdawger
unfortunately, it will probably have to be litigated through the court system or your judicial medical system to be reevaluated.
6:44 am
grannyrose
yeah, dawg. and i have the time and money to ride it out. i am not a greedy person. i only want wh4 is rightfully mine.
6:44 am
sukee

8:02 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Ruby :-)
8:02 am
rubyfoo
hello ((anie)): I'm working on an envelope for Bobby, but slowly slowly
8:02 am
Anniebrook
ruby, please don't tax yourself. Please.
8:03 am
rubyfoo
Things are very hard here as Burt is declining rapidly and is becoming more aggressive with me. Also much more confused
8:03 am
rubyfoo
I was sorting through papers (belatedly, of course) and started finding things I'd set aside for Bobby.
8:04 am
rubyfoo
He is having trouble dressing himself and can't follow simple instructions unless they're repeated over and over
8:04 am
Anniebrook
ruby, Is his doctor really aware of the situation?
8:05 am
rubyfoo
he came here yesterday and completed more paperwork which he was going to hand-deliver to the local nursing home
8:05 am
rubyfoo
It will be terrible for Burt, but I can't handle him any more
8:06 am
rubyfoo
He's scary and surprisingly strong when he's angry
8:07 am
Anniebrook
ruby, That is a step in the right direction. Yes, it will be hard for Burt. When my fatherinlaw was starting to come down with Alzheimers, he attacked my mother in law. Please be very careful.
8:07 am
zoozzoom
((Ruby))
8:07 am
rubyfoo
I would prefer to keep him here, but this house is not set up for a full-time live-in person.
8:08 am

8:08 am
rubyfoo
nd although I have help during the day, at least some of the time, he doesn't become difficult until after dinner
8:08 am
rubyfoo
I've heard it's called "sundowning" for Alzheimer's patients
8:10 am
zoozzoom
I think the local nursing home is the best solution.Would be too much for you to handle now he is getting rapidly worse.
8:10 am
Anniebrook
Are my posts coming through?
8:10 am
rubyfoo
He'll be lost because of his hearing and the language, but I'll never get well if he is here plaguing me
8:11 am

hmmm. interesting question! I have a new job this year, and NO instruction in how to do it. TOTALLY flying by the seat of my pants, and not really loving that.
6:42 pm
Trifioso
trying to be proactive, but those I do ask questions of tend to resent it, which is charming.
6:42 pm
rururocks
wow.. too busy to answer you or just being difficult
6:43 pm
rururocks
I would think teaching is a team effort for all involved
6:43 pm
Trifioso
too busy to answer. they just want me to "know" it, or figure it out as I go. I don'
6:44 pm
Trifioso
I don't find that a productive way to proceed, but I'll be damned if I'm getting thrown under the bus
6:45 pm
jbp
would anyone love to clue me on the 9?
6:45 pm
rururocks
I agree with that

I don't find that exclusive to schools, by the way - I have worked a few places in different industries that have that mentality
6:46 pm
jbp
best. clue. ever. (dead under Ginat's stadium won't fit though)

What a shame. I feel sorry for the kids in that school. There should be better leaders there.
6:48 pm

I have to get to my doctor's appointment. Best of luck Trif.

6:48 pm
Trifioso
best of luck to you too, ruru
6:49 pm
Trifioso
there just isn't enough time, molly. everyone is so overloaded as it is.
6:49 pm
jbp
i have begun to see it as a learning experience, in and of itself. otherwise, Ithink i would be even more pissy and bitter
6:49 pm
jbp
have a good one ruru.
6:49 pm
Trifioso
I do sometimes think of writing down things as I go, and then tweaking it at the end of the year - handbook written!
6:50 pm
Trifioso
but then so much is teacher/student/class specific, it would need to adapt for every teacher
6:50 pm
jbp
of course, stuff changes every 17 minutes, but still
6:50 pm
jbp
well, good luck Trifioso... hang in there and give 'em hell!

thanks. every day has its challenges and blessings. I have a good job, with health insurance, so Im thankful

Well I'm glad you are happy with it Trif. Most of your comments here have made me think otherwise. I'm glad that is not the case.
