Are you in Georgia? If so, the state insurance commissioner is pretty heavy

handed with the insurance companies. You may want to contact his office for

assistance, even if you are not in Georgia since Dr. is in Georgia.

You may also want to contact the insurance commissioner in your state as well.

Sheila,

I wasn't laughing, well not all out, out right, LOL. I was simply

chuckling.

As i have told you before your tenacity served you well in getting

your surgery, and it will continue to serve you well in ALL aspects

of your life:)

continued healing and good protein counts to you

I was thinking....can you add the protein to you food? Say a scoop

in your soup..as long as it's unflavored say??? May go down easier?

Just an idea..

Hi....I noticed on vita4life.net that they have a liquid protein that tastes like honey...I think it comes in 2oz packets and each one is 30 grams of protein.....you can mix it with tea or anything else that you can drink.....just an idea :-) Bobbi-jo

You can sprinkle the unflavored kind on foods but eating fish filets,

beef jerky, string cheese etc like I have been makes it hard to

sprinkle it on those lol. I could put it in tuna fish....I don't eat

soups because I can get alot more protein elsewhere. Some put it in

pudding too. The trouble with that (if it even stayed down) would be

I get full off of stuff like pudding and then can't eat the meats

etc. that have the good natural protein.
