    Bonnie Anderson "Granbonny" June 10, 1940 - March 11, 2008

    Well It's Official......

    I understand what you are going through. I think it is terrible that dental insurance is so different from health insurance. Especially for people like us who have to be careful with our teeth. I have half my bottom teeth missing, and since my dental clinic closed, I don't have a dentist to...

    Members in Oregon/Washington states

    yeah, I live about 30 miles north of Seattle, I guess where I-5 was/is underwater might be damaged, and there are a lot of sink holes and roads washed away. We didn't get hit as bad as we were supposed to, and we never lost power. I was glad for that. Strange weather here though, it can snow...

    Well It's Official......

    Hey Ross, I too have had some issues with dental stuff. I was told it goes with the heart issues. I have also tried to get my medical insurance to pay for it to no avail. I had most of my bottom teeth pulled, and I need a partial, and wouldn't you know it, my dental clinic closed before it...

    question about heart failure

    Well, I got my BNP results back, and they were normal. I am feeling better, the doc gave me a diuretic. My valves are both leaking and they found a murmur in my aortic valve, but I can rest assured that for now, I am not in any major crisis, I just need to watch what I eat and I have meds if I...

    Medical Insurance

    that's why my husband and I opted to have him retire from the navy. He has 6 years left, and after that, I believe that the tricare is like 250 every 6 months or so. Not a bad price to pay when I have found out that in order to insure only ME, it would cost upwards of 1500 a month!

    question about heart failure

    Hey guys, I posted a little while ago about being watched again, well, it is a month and a half after my appointment, and things have gone downhill fast! I noticed last weekend that I started gaining weight and my ankles were swelling a little bit, but the most alarming thing to me was the fact...

    back to being watched...

    Hey, thanks for the replys! I have actually been feeling OK about being watched. I feel more confident with the doctors I have now. I've had kind of a rough year with medical issues, not just for me, but with the kids and with Kevin as well. Ian has had two ear surgeries, his latest being an...

    just checking in...

    I just assist the cook in putting food in the oven, and I help out around there serving, it's a school cafeteria. I work during the time that the kids are in school so I don't have to pay a babysitter, so it works for me. I am on the heart program, my regular doc just wanted me to see this...

    just checking in...

    Hey I just thought I would pop in and see how everyone is doing quick. Alot has gone on since I was on here last, I moved, I got taken off all heart meds because the docs didn't think it was necessary anymore. I spend most of my time with my kids and my husband, and when I do find time to play...

    Let's say Thanks

    I think my brother got one of those cards. He said the card had the funniest comment in it. Here is an article about his unit. It really puts into perspective how dangerous it really is over there! This is an article about Sid's unit and his camp and men. He's ridden in one of these too...

    Smoking

    I have to day that yes, while Zyban has many different side effects, I took it, I just quit smoking in April of this year...4 years after my OHS. I didn't use the patch, although they were prescribed to me. The one thing to remember about zyban is to be followed closely by your doctor. I quit...

    Swollen ankles/feet

    I remember when I got really sick, my brother told me that my ENTIRE BODY was bloated. I went from 80 something pounds to over 126 pounds in less than a week, and I had no idea why. It doesn't matter if you have to take the kids with, I've done it many time when my husband has hurt himself...
