, I'm really glad that the problem got fixed. I am starting on medicare in

January also. I am recieving COBRA right now, but it is costing 1000. 00 a

month, and Sharon hasnt been paid since June, so that will end soon. It couldnt

come at a better or worse time because we wont have enough to make the house

payment if they take out of the Ssdi money to pay for any premiums. I am worried

about this, but not really. It takes my breath away if I let it, but I think I

have to just go with the flow. I have an appointment to talk to a lwayer

tommorrow to see if we have a case with my job benefits. There was an arbitrary

deadline to apply for disability retirement for the ciy of Denver. 90 days. I

had 90 days from the day I lost my job, but didnt get anything in the mail abut

it until October that year, and the 90 days was up in July. The thing is

designed to disqualify you if you fail to notify them once you lose your job.

But the wording says " need to

attach award from ssdi in order to apply " . But that took just under a a year,

and from everything I read, it happened faster than normal. My lawyer was

shocked that it only took just under one year from application to first check.

It will be interesting to see what you guys choose, and I will keep you informed

of our desicion too. Love, bobby rwe.

Subject: getting ready

hi ....am back on-line. come to find out it was not the modem but a problem with

the phone company...any ways it is fixed...i have been trying in my mind to

prepare myself for the future. we just got notice of medicare starting soon on

my husband. (disability not age)...now i am thinking just part A or part b too

and what about scripts coverage do i also get part d and how do i do this???do i

get supplemental coverage thru medicare or go to another source like AARP??? I

cover him on my job so medicare will be secondary.

i thought i would change my position at work to a day shift 5 days a week

40hrs. now i am thinking that my shift 7 on 7 off 80 hrs will still be best

when and if we are ever called. it is easier to cover me every other week then

weekly. or i can stay with him every other week...I am just thinking about a lot

of stuff...i am trying to get ready. i found this really good web site i will

send the link later which tells you alot of what to do to get ready..i think it

was something like the " transplant experience "

Love sandra

Hi ,

When I got Medicare, I got Part A and Part B, and they sent me a

letter to sign up for Part D, so I didn't have to do anything special

but sign a form and I had Part D (prescription). Maybe it will be

different for him since Medicare will be secondary. Medicare is my

main insurance and I have a supplemental to pick up what Medicare

doesn't pay.

Yes, the website you are talking about is

http://www.transplantexperience.com

I was given that website before my transplant as well as after.

Dear Bobby: i pray some good things come your way. keep looking up sometimes it

is very hard to find and claim our blessings when there is a constant rain cloud

over head...the other day my two sisters came and bombarded me before i went to

sleep we had a good time then they went shopping with out me but i was so happy

to be with them...then i received a phone call from the past it was a family

friend i think he may be family too but that's a story :} oh what a time and i

felt real good. then i get notice that my sisters (the one who was just at my

home )19 year old son and his friend had a wreck he was thrown from the car and

the friend both were ejected...the car rolled several times...my nephew and the

friend walked away. the car could of smashed them. my step mother who raised us

died this way. i forget exactly where i was going with this but i suppose that

blessing come in many disguises. Gods plans our not ours. You keep looking

forward.
