Re: Digest Number 1211 It's o.k. to cry

[Guest guest]

Hi all, I am not that computer literate, so I hope I've done the right thing.

Anyway, it is o.k. to cry, actually it releases lots of soothing chemicals

in the brain. That is why we feel so " drained " after a good crying

jag--believe me I have had some in my day. Keep thinking about how you'll

feel after surgery. I was a brittle diabetic, and have had absolutely no

diabetic meds since the night before my surgery 9/13/99. I have Medicare and

Humana PPO as my insurance companies. Both paid. I had to remind them that

this procedure was medically necessary (for both my mental and physical

health), and that it costs appx 35 grand a year for diabetic supplies, meds

alone!!! I also said that Dr. Rutledge does not charge enough for the

procedure. In Florida, for instance, the messy surgery goes for 45K, and

that is not including aftercare, hospital, etc., meds. Just my two cents.
