Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Ahhhhhhhhh...thats nice. I just realized how I always hated anyone making anything over me if I was sick or injured. In fact, I'd hide it if I could. Found out though when you slice your fingers trying to open cat food, one bandaid won't hold all that blood back. But, it hit me. I didn't hesitate to tell the board about my ER visit on Monday and I appreciated and accepted all the comments of care with no problem. As I was gone I felt bad someone might be worried, but I guess it felt good to know there were those who would be worried too and thats new for me. Its one more tribute to the environment we have here. I worry about you all...i'm a worrier....not going to change and never ever can I agree to the " its not your problem " line. It turn I know there are others thinking of me. We can drive ourselves crazy worrying to much, but I know I just feel better about myself when I'm thinking of others and caring. Now I haven't yet had a friend broadcast it over radioland, but both sending and receiving well wishes enrich our lives. > > > > > > > > > > > > Irene...although you think nothing is broken, you could > have > > > > > chipped a bone... > > > > > > Pain indicates something is wrong.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I'm the same way...I don't like people making a fuss over me when I'm sick! because it's either they don't understand, they tell me to brush it off, everything will be OK or Oh! whatever you'll have it will go away you'll see, why do you spend so much time in/out of the hospital and why don't you ask your dr to find a cure..... Since, I have found this group, the people here understand that nothing is the same each day and things change....and I feel comfortable to tell them....that today wasn't a good day for me or I had a good time etc....and to share my joy, my pain etc...Over here I have been accepted and we worry about each other and we get to share a lot of things.... ---- Original Message ---- To: Breathe-Support Sent: Fri, 4 Jan 2008 9:33 pm Subject: Re: Bruce Ahhhhhhhhh...thats nice.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Bruce...did I miss it? Where are you going? Mama has to know these things.lol Mama-Sher, 69; IPF, 3-06, OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there! Re: Bruce They are just incredible to work with, Gwynne. Everyone there I've talked to......Kim, Shirley (I think), Ron, , the driver (oh, I'm awful with names). Getting car reservoir for my trip Monday morning. Special effort for then as they didn't want me starting out low from loss over weekend so didn't want to do it the easy way and deliver Thursday or Friday.They have CPAP order now...probably get it as soon as I return. Needless to say nurse messed it up twice. Now most ridiculous thing in history is Apria wants a prescription to pick theirs up. Well, good luck to them. I'm going to call and tell them they don't make the prescription laws but I have a trip to make so they can't pick up now until I get back anyway. Thats like a prescription not to fill a refill you have available on a med.I sure hope they grandfather and ride along when Medicare goes to the bidding thing this summer. Would hate to lose them. Only negative ever will be getting refills on long trip and they were upfront with that and I'm betting working it out will still be easy with them, just I'll have to pay....but an occasional $50 for a refill, I'll live with anytime for real service.I got out briefly yesterday for doctor and mail and to drop something by 's, but made two trips out today to enjoy the nice day. Oh, the Helios was nice. Yes, and I don't wait until I must leave to fill it, so if it froze I'd just wait. But the guy gave good instructions and then I went online and read the manual well. So, I think I know the things most likely to cause freezes and at least when I cause one I'll probably know what I did wrong that time. Slip of hand or something. Easing up on the top while still holding lever down, instead of releasing lever first. That will be me. I think Life Support understands their place. They are capable of providing service Apria and Lincare can't or don't. They must provide it to survive and justify existing. But best way ever to build a business. Years ago I turned two fairly large manufacturing companies around 95% based on improving our customer service. In neither case was our product all that different, but no one could compare with our service. Was nice too when they said but "Company X" is willing to sell to us for this to say, but remember the service they provided you. We won't sell for that but you know what we provide. And they are like "well, you're right...it was worth a try. You're worth the difference." lol>> Yes, you can still use your reservoir after you've frozen up> one of your portables.
