Yes, he is having trouble breathing.  He can't carry on a conversation anymore

without becoming completely out of breath.  He enjoys a cigar every now and

again and I had noticed that he rarely smokes a cigar anymore.  I asked him

about it and he told me it was because he can't inhale deeply enough to keep it

lit.  That's when I really got concerned about him.

Subject: Diane....For All:Beware of disability plan

through company

I don't know about all ambulance organization. I was with a

volunteer ambulance service. They have a special ambulance

they use to just transport patients. However, there are

restrictions on who can be transported. It is for those

who are unable to be transported by any other means. For

instant, those who are wheelchair bound or who would have

great discomfort being transported in an upright position.

They use this to take them to and from their doctor appointments

and to the hospital for procedures.

I would call the ambulance you plan to use ahead of time

and ask them or stop by their ambulance building and

ask to speak with someone there. Don't use the 911 number,

as this isn't an emergency. They can fill you in on

how they handle this and if your insurance has to pay the cost.

It is always good to have a membership card with them.

Let me explain how a membership card usually is handled.

I have both the BLS (Basic Life Support) and the

ALS (Advanced Life Support) membership service.

If you have a membership card, the ambulance provider will

bill your insurance first. What the membership card does,

is to keep you from having to pay anything that your

insurance will not pay. In other words...if your insurance

decides there is only a percentage they will pay the ambulance

organization, then with the membership card you have...the ambulance

will just write off the rest.

Hope this help you. I sure hope that he isn't having trouble

breathing. This fluid, in some people, can press up against

the diaphragm and if it becomes too much, can start to seep pass

that and go into the lungs and then this is not a very good thing.

I think he would be so surprise how much better he will feel

if this was over now.
