Goodbye...

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone..

I am sorry to say that this will be my last post.. I want to thank

everyone for their prayers and support.. Y'all are wonderful! But, I have

just found out that Dr R is not taking medicaid patients right now and I

feel I have hit a titanium steel wall... I truely don't know what to do

right now..I have been waiting since January for Medicaid's approval.. I

have came to other walls and jumped over them with grace.. I spent more than

a month just trying to get my medical records sent to Debbie.. Thursday will

be 2 weeks since Medicaid got everything from Dr R's office and now it don't

matter.. And what really makes me upset the most is that I called the office

to see if they had heard anything from medicaid and Barbara was not even

going to tell me that it Dr R is not taking medicaid right now until i had

said something about it.. I am so glad for this list.. I would have been

completely in the dark about so many things, to include this if y'all

weren't here.. I would have thought everything was fine and still thought

there was a chance for a happy healthy life.. I guess maybe i am just meant

to be fat for a while longer.. I'm not sure what i will do in the next 6

months... Unfortunately, I don't have the money to even think about paying

for this myself.. I'm at a loss.. But, to clarify things for Dr R, it's not

his choice to not accept medicaid.. From what barbara told me, the hospital

is having financial problems and asked Dr R to hold off for 6 months so they

could get into a better financial position.. Of course, I've heard this

happen before.. 6 months can turn into years... I'm not holding my breath...

My life has been pretty much put on hold for this surgery and I can't keep

doing it... The only other thing I could do is go ahead and get married to

my fiance which we were going to wait til after the surgery.. But then we

still have the problem with coming up with any co-payment.. My family does

not have that kind of money and we certainly don't... I guess we shall just

see what happens... If any of you would like to keep in touch, please don't

hesitate.. I would love to hear from you from time to time... I love you

all!

In my thoughts and prayers,

Terri

Help anyone,

I just read the post from Terri of 6-26-00 at 8:13. I am so confused.

I've been reading the posts daily for the last couple of weeks and all I've

observed is a caring group. I'm not sure what has happened, but I'd like

everyone to know how much I appreciate the daily support, answers, and

encouragement. You are a great group and I hope you'll keep the posts coming.

Well, sorry you feel this way... we are all human with faults and

weaknesses. Maybe there is another list that would suit you better.

Sorry to see you go.
