Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Yo, hippy kids... This is a delicate entry, so let me set it up properly. The one complaint I hear and read most commonly from folks who's been resurfed in LA is that the hospital food is dreadful. But I think I also recall that they allow family to bring food in. Is there a place, then, for such family-provided food to be cooked or warmed? The reason I ask (and the delicate part): From your experience, would there be a use for the services of a personal chef who would prepare meals to specification (even for special medical requirements)? The food would be prepared off-premises, then brought in for heating prior to service, as I understand. A friend of mine has a son who's professionally trained, and provides personal chef services. He lives in San Obispo, but his family lives in Long Beach, and he goes to LB regularly...to lay in meals for his Mom (who's got a very demanding position)...and his grandmother, who has Alzheimer's and other special medical dietary needs. If there is interest, let me know here...and I can provide his web address in non-posted personal e-mail ( " personal e-mail! " : is that an oxymoron?). I was talking to his mom today, and the idea flashed on me while we were talking that LA hippies may have some use of his services. But this is not about advertising, or selling...and I've not even told him I was going to post this. I will send him a note today, so nobody is surprised. And if nobody is interested, trust me, I'll never mention it again.. Hobble on Hippies... Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Hi Alan, I think that Chuck, or LAOH themselves would be the ones to ask about your plan. LAOH seems like a " bare bones " kind of set up, at least it seemed that way to me. Not the most modern place. And regarding your insurance nightmare. If there is no way that you'll be reimbursed if you choose JRI, but there is some chance of reimbursement from DeSmet, and you are equally confident in both DR.'s, and the costs are similar (in case you don't get reimbursed), than Belgium looks like the best choice. At least you have a shot at getting some $ back. I was concerned with the DVT issue in Belgium during my research, and I'll be darned if I could find any evidence that there is great cause for concern. Thin your blood, wear your sexy TEDS, and you should be fine. The flight had me worried too, but I assure you, the drive home through LA and Orange county traffic was probably more dangerous. And I think I found a passage in your insurance by-laws that states that " evidence of arthritis shall be recognized as smoke exiting from the patients ass as a result of bone on bone frictional heat " . That's proabably why they won't accept you as a candidate. C+ 4-15-04 P.S. I would suggest flesh eating ants to Steve's proposed C4/flamethrower plan. > Yo, hippy kids... > > This is a delicate entry, so let me set it up properly.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Yo Chris... I was, at this early stage, just curious as to whether there might be enough interest even to talk to Chuck about the idea. I was sure that, early on, I'd read that LAOH allowed families to provide food. But it's been a long time since the issue came up. Still waiting on the CIGNoids to provide me answer about where my next stop will be. Okay, flesh eating ants are thorough...and appropriately slow... but I'm getting increasingly enamoured of the idea that I might get some real BANG for my insurance...with a quick clean-up. That C4 and a flamethrower plan has a lot of appeal. All the best, Alan > > Yo, hippy kids... > > > > This is a delicate entry, so let me set it up properly.
