Then she had some other complaintson me, for what was MY Choice I am not a child, I can make My own decisions, or can I?? I am her #2 in Sales for the year, and she treats me like that. well I guess she can run out and find another person to pad her pocket, cuz she just ate the hand that feeds her!!

You get a 10 on everything, if only I could be so good:)I have a rant I'm almost ashamed to do, but here it goes, as it's been on my mind, and maybe I will feel better if I do? OK last week I went to Dallas for the Kay Seminar, and it almost killed me, I couldn't make it to every event, and felt like crap just trying to make it. I meet a wonderful friend about 6 years ago in Dallas in MK, a Nurse, and she is always my roomy now, and pushes me all over in my wheelchair:) my rant, at the Airport, the cab van drops us not to close to check in, why because someone in the van (yes a friend) gets on his case about how were in a hurry, so he is not, I'm sure you get the picture, then whispers about how he couldn't go any slower, but he did. So I put my luggage in the wheel chair and push it to check in, this " friend " of mine has always told me not to worry, someone will always help push me in the wheel chair I love so much, not! So while pushing me, up an incline, in 5 " heels starts complaining, why didn't ask someone to help me, and her friend (not sure mine) states how someone from the airlines always pushes her grandfather when he comes to visit, thanks for the comparison, NOT. they continue to rant and complain, (thinking back I should of gotten out of the chair and pushed the dam thing myself, I can do this, but am very slow) then they push me up to some other women we know, well not all the way up, and now comes the drama, one stomps off to call her husband, while the other one says she needs some down time, I'm like WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING, WHO IS THE ONE " WALKING " AWAY!! I'm the one sitting in the Dam wheelchair HELLO?? of course now I feel just wonderful, so I stroll up to the check in to make sure they know it's my chair, and the lady asked me for my ticket, I was so upset I couldn't find it, and just started crying right there, she was so nice she came around the counter and told me to take my time. She got me all taken care of, and I strolled to the front of the line, and sat there crying, do you think that any of my " friends " came to check on me, He-- No. I called my son and asked him to meet me at the airport as I was to ride home with these wonderful " friends " , got on the plane, and yes it only gets better, betcha you wonder how? Well no one says a word to me getting on the plane, but guess what happens when we get off. first I ask the Stewardess to call ahead for someone to push me to baggage, I get off and am sitting in my chair, and out comes my " friend " offering to push me now, WHAT.............. I told her NO I have someone coming to push me, and she asks, " are you sure " (NO I'd love to be treated like a second rate person again, it was so much fun the first time) I told her NO just GO, she then said, OK well meet you in baggage claim, I said Don't Wait as my Son is coming to get me, and she was appalled, why did you call him, you are going back with us! (not on your life honey) I told her I was fine, and I didn't need her help, so just go! I got my bags put them in the chair and meet my son, and cried half the way home. She has been calling and leaving messages to talk to me since, that was Sunday, really I don't have anything to say. Did I mention I HATE that Chair!! OK I feel better, but feel bad, as it's nothing compared to just dx with this crap in her heart, I'm sorry Jess, and know your in my prayers, and I will get over this too. Thanks for listening. love ya all, Marla I understand your confusion, Jackie! I have a feeling that the health care changes will only increase our confusion. I've been frustrated for years about the lack of dental care available for adults. When I was working as a nurse-midwife, we had so many young women in the clinic whose teeth were in terrible shape. Most of them were on Medicaid for pregnancy only & dental care was covered only if the problem affected the pregnancy. So if a woman had an abscess that was affecting her ability to eat, Medicaid would cover the treatment of the abscess, the cheapest way--antibiotics & pull the tooth. Not a root canal & crown. And we had to provide documentation, jump through hoops, etc. No one seemed to get the fact that a young woman with missing & broken teeth would have trouble getting a job, would have another reason for low self-esteem, be more likely to be in a dependent relationship with possible abuse, etc. etc. etc. Then a few years ago, research found a strong correlation with poor dental health & preterm labor! Just as poor dental health is associated with heart disease. Now we spend a ton of money trying to prevent preterm birth & treating premies after they are born; wouldn't it be wonderful if we could spend less money on dental care & get many more benefits? Makes sense, but I don't expect to see it in my lifetime. We've always known preterm birth occurs much more frequently in low income women; it's been blamed on lack of access to medical care & poor nutrition. But we still saw it in our clinic population, who mostly got early care, had WIC, food stamps & other food programs. I'm convinced that bad teeth & gums are the #1 culprit. Of course it's not the cause of every preterm birth & higher-income women also have preterm labor. (President Kennedy & Jackie lost a baby that was born too early; he probably would have survived with today's technology.) But I'll bet it's the biggie. Sorry for the rant!

It isn't Medicare that covers the dentures it is a program that Wisconsin has. There are dental clinics going up all over Wisconsin for the low income. It is free to those who qualify however there is again a long waiting list. We do not have enough dentists who handle Medicare. There is one right around the cornor from me that would accept me but I had to walk in first and have a painful tooth ache to get on the list. It is really confusing. Wisconsin has what is Called Forward/badger care. They, I am told, handle the problem I had but again it takes a long time to be approved and then the waiting list for the available dentist. Sometimes you have to really travel a long distance. And then they can turn you down. So with the help of a very good dentist and a family member we came up with a payment plan that works for me. Sorry for the confusion, I am confused too. Jackie check in time Hell all Jackie here just checking in to let all know I am ok. A lot going on in this ones personal life. My sweet son is getting a divorce from his wonderful wife. So sad. 3 beautiful children involved. My heart is breaking. The meds I am on, as everyone knows, does a number on the teeth. I finally took the plunge and said Do it Doc. And he did. All gone. Waiting for the replacements. Chose to go without for a few weeks so hopefully they fit well. It has been 6 weeks. ARGH Looking to get my own place (where it is less controlling). I love the man I am with but I believe he is holding my progress with walking and being independent back. Oh well.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Thanks Rose, I have written her a letter that I will give to her tomorrow, I just don't know what to do about my business, I love doing Kay, this is my Director I'm talking about, and I love going to the meetings she runs, but then again, not sure I want to continue, but wouldn't you just know it, some girl I've been talking with for months has decided to join my team, and see the more I build my team the more I get from MK Corp.($$) So will have to really think/pray on this one, I know several others who stop coming to the meetings for like reasons, I had someone tell me today, that someone needs to knock her down a few notches?? I hope the letter will allow her to look into her heart and see who really was the victim here??? By the way, the ranting, I've learned from the best:) love ya, Marla whoa, Marla, you've really upped the bar! The competition is getting very tough!

Now we spend a ton of money trying to prevent preterm birth & treating premies after they are born; wouldn't it be wonderful if we could spend less money on dental care & get many more benefits? Makes sense, but I don't expect to see it in my lifetime. We've always known preterm birth occurs much more frequently in low income women; it's been blamed on lack of access to medical care & poor nutrition. But we still saw it in our clinic population, who mostly got early care, had WIC, food stamps & other food programs. I'm convinced that bad teeth & gums are the #1 culprit. Of course it's not the cause of every preterm birth & higher-income women also have preterm labor. (President Kennedy & Jackie lost a baby that was born too early; he probably would have survived with today's technology.) But I'll bet it's the biggie. Sorry for the rant!

Then she had some other complaintson me, for what was MY Choice I am not a child, I can make My own decisions, or can I?? I am her #2 in Sales for the year, and she treats me like that. well I guess she can run out and find another person to pad her pocket, cuz she just ate the hand that feeds her!! The more I think about it, the more I just say to myself, REALLY? I MEAN IT REALLY?? OK I feel better, life shouldn't be so Dam complicated you know.

You get a 10 on everything, if only I could be so good:)I have a rant I'm almost ashamed to do, but here it goes, as it's been on my mind, and maybe I will feel better if I do? OK last week I went to Dallas for the Kay Seminar, and it almost killed me, I couldn't make it to every event, and felt like crap just trying to make it. I meet a wonderful friend about 6 years ago in Dallas in MK, a Nurse, and she is always my roomy now, and pushes me all over in my wheelchair:) my rant, at the Airport, the cab van drops us not to close to check in, why because someone in the van (yes a friend) gets on his case about how were in a hurry, so he is not, I'm sure you get the picture, then whispers about how he couldn't go any slower, but he did. So I put my luggage in the wheel chair and push it to check in, this "friend" of mine has always told me not to worry, someone will always help push me in the wheel chair I love so much, not! So while pushing me, up an incline, in 5" heels starts complaining, why didn't ask someone to help me, and her friend (not sure mine) states how someone from the airlines always pushes her grandfather when he comes to visit, thanks for the comparison, NOT. they continue to rant and complain, (thinking back I should of gotten out of the chair and pushed the dam thing myself, I can do this, but am very slow) then they push me up to some other women we know, well not all the way up, and now comes the drama, one stomps off to call her husband, while the other one says she needs some down time, I'm like WHAT, ARE YOU KIDDING, WHO IS THE ONE "WALKING" AWAY!! I'm the one sitting in the Dam wheelchair HELLO?? of course now I feel just wonderful, so I stroll up to the check in to make sure they know it's my chair, and the lady asked me for my ticket, I was so upset I couldn't find it, and just started crying right there, she was so nice she came around the counter and told me to take my time. She got me all taken care of, and I strolled to the front of the line, and sat there crying, do you think that any of my "friends" came to check on me, He-- No. I called my son and asked him to meet me at the airport as I was to ride home with these wonderful "friends", got on the plane, and yes it only gets better, betcha you wonder how? Well no one says a word to me getting on the plane, but guess what happens when we get off. first I ask the Stewardess to call ahead for someone to push me to baggage, I get off and am sitting in my chair, and out comes my "friend" offering to push me now, WHAT..............I told her NO I have someone coming to push me, and she asks, "are you sure"(NO I'd love to be treated like a second rate person again, it was so much fun the first time) I told her NO just GO, she then said, OK well meet you in baggage claim, I said Don't Wait as my Son is coming to get me, and she was appalled, why did you call him, you are going back with us! (not on your life honey) I told her I was fine, and I didn't need her help, so just go! I got my bags put them in the chair and meet my son, and cried half the way home. She has been calling and leaving messages to talk to me since, that was Sunday, really I don't have anything to say. Did I mention I HATE that Chair!! OK I feel better, but feel bad, as it's nothing compared to just dx with this crap in her heart, I'm sorry Jess, and know your in my prayers, and I will get over this too. Thanks for listening. love ya all, Marla I understand your confusion, Jackie! I have a feeling that the health care changes will only increase our confusion. I've been frustrated for years about the lack of dental care available for adults. When I was working as a nurse-midwife, we had so many young women in the clinic whose teeth were in terrible shape. Most of them were on Medicaid for pregnancy only & dental care was covered only if the problem affected the pregnancy. So if a woman had an abscess that was affecting her ability to eat, Medicaid would cover the treatment of the abscess, the cheapest way--antibiotics & pull the tooth. Not a root canal & crown. And we had to provide documentation, jump through hoops, etc. No one seemed to get the fact that a young woman with missing & broken teeth would have trouble getting a job, would have another reason for low self-esteem, be more likely to be in a dependent relationship with possible abuse, etc. etc. etc. Then a few years ago, research found a strong correlation with poor dental health & preterm labor!

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Dear Marla, here's a one-minute hug coming from Indiana. (Did you know that being hugged for one minute releases endorphins?) So gently hug yourself for one minute--time it. You might also give him a one-minute hug; don't say anything, just start hugging him. After a few seconds, he may go okay, okay, and start to pull away, but just keep hugging. You will feel him begin to relax. Your baby girl needs one too--no words, just hug. As far as the garage door, I've done that too. We have two "Hairy" Houdinis, our cats, who are escape artists. When one of them is out, we leave the garage door open a bit, so that if they come in we can hit the button, door goes down & they're trapped! But more than once I've forgotten or not noticed the door was open & done the same thing you did. So far I've not damaged the door or the car. But years ago I did knock the door off my friend's car when I backed out of my garage without shutting the door! I had borrowed her car to get something from my house, drove in the garage & left the car running, ran in to get whatever, came out & jumped in the car, put 'er in reverse & wham! hit the side of the garage with the door. I couldn't get the door to shut, so had to run a rope through the windows across the front seat & over the top of the car to hold the door against the car. It was a very cold night & when I returned to the hospital to pick her up, I called her & told her that if she didn't have a warm coat, she might want to bring a blanket out with her, then I told her what I'd done. I was very nervous waiting for her, but when she came out, she just looked at her car a minute, then busted out laughing! (I've remembered that when somebody has messed up something of mine.) This was long before my NS, so can't blame it on that. We agreed that I would pay her deductible & I had to take the car for estimates. It was very embarrassing, but people can be so nice. The first shop I went to actually bent the door so that it would close & latch, even though they knew that I might not bring the car to them for repair. I was fumbling around, trying to find a way to explain what happened to the door, when the guy said, "You backed out of the garage with the door open, didn't you?" Then he told me that it happens more than you would think, so I didn't feel quite so stupid. I hope that this little story brightened your mood a bit. And just remember that it will be all right. During a storm we can't see the rainbow, but it's coming. So are more storms, but the sun & the rainbows will always follow. I have a nurse friend who used to calm me down at work when I would start fretting about something. She'd just put her arm around me & say in this wonderfully convincing voice, "Rose, it'll be all right." And I would believe her & settle down. Then she announced that she was retiring & I said, "What will I do when everything's going wrong?" And she said, you guessed it, "Rose, it'll be all right." So I took a picture of her & added the quote, then put it in a nice frame. I had one at work & one at home. Once my son used the bathroom at my house, came out & asked, "Why is there a picture of Vicki in your bathroom?!?" I still have that picture in my bedroom & I can look at it & hear Vicki's soothing voice. Now you will have to imagine the voice, but here is the picture!

Anyway, I feel your stress, and I know times are hard right now with the hubby trying to start his own business, and you being sick then the crap with your friend.. just a suggestion, I'd put the Kay on hold for a little bit, then if you miss it you can always go back to it, either with your friend or find you a new boss.. Take a break, get your second wind.. know that we all love you, and don't want to lose you over to a stroke or heart attack over all this.. Love and hugs, check in time Hell all Jackie here just checking in to let all know I am ok. A lot going on in this ones personal life. My sweet son is getting a divorce from his wonderful wife. So sad. 3 beautiful children involved. My heart is breaking. The meds I am on, as everyone knows, does a number on the teeth. I finally took the plunge and said Do it Doc. And he did. All gone. Waiting for the replacements. Chose to go without for a few weeks so hopefully they fit well. It has been 6 weeks. ARGH Looking to get my own place (where it is less controlling). I love the man I am with but I believe he is holding my progress with walking and being independent back. Oh well. Other than that all is well. Hanging in there and dealing with the trials. I have to. How all is well with others. Have a wonderful sunny summer. Jackie The New Busy is not the too busy. Combine all your e-mail accounts with Hotmail. Get busy.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Aww, its ok Marla.. I just now saw your email to me. so no worries here.. I would bet your husband is scared to death with the economy, starting a new business, sick wife,etc.. He loves you, you've written many many things about how good he is to you and what a great man he is.. So just keep believing in him.. and when he starts yelling just remember, that he's frightened.. and actually that's the one reason I yell especially at Damian.. Its usually because he's done something, usually to his truck, that's gonna cost more money that I have...Thank goodness I have family members that are willing to help us out, and I'm talking 1st cousins, not just my parents.. They will either loan him the money to fix it and then he pays them, or if its something for college, he'll go to the bank and borrow what he needs and they'll co-sign for him.. I consider them my angels.. Damian see's them as his aunts.. Anyway, I do agree with Rose, start the hugging process, for no reason at all, try to hug before he is angered surprise him.. sometimes whisper a prayer for him in just a few words.. encourage him..I think you will see his attitude will start to change.. oh yeah and if he will let you.. hold his hand where ever you two go, in church, at dinner, movie. etc..

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Jackie, I love that story! I'll be laughing at that one every time I pick up the wrong remote (got 3 for my tv, dvd & cable--can't get them all to work on one remote) & cuss because it won't work!

I was going on a road trip with friends on our motorcycles. I was running just a bit late so I wasn't really paying attention. In Front of my Garage was 5 loud bikes gunning engines waiting for me. I ran out the front door with the remote for the door in my hand so I could close it when I left. Well I got on my bike and started out the door, Which wasn't opened after all. Because I went in the side door I just didn't notice it was closed. Friends came running because when hitting the door I dumped the bike. I explained what had happened and showed them the remote so I could shut the door. Everyone began to laugh at me to the point of falling on the ground. The remote I had was to the Television in the kitchen. I haven't been able to live that down yet. They still let me go with them no harm to the bike but I did have to go out the side door with it.... So just remember-----Shit happens ------We have to laugh at ourselves before others are able to do the same. I understand your hubby is under stress but who isn't in this time. Give him a cute little smile and say " OH WELL I AM WHAT I AM, AND THAT IS SORRY." Have a wonderful day and another hug coming at you.
