my mom's status

[surferboy]

I'm glad to hear that she is well enough to come home. I'm gonna send some good vibes thru the Florida air so that she is 100% well soon.

I'm so happy that she was home for Thanksgiving. :biggrin1:

mahalo bruddah, but you know that nothing positive can go through the air down here :biggrin1:

I'm glad she's home after such a harrowing experience. :smile: I think I'll hedge my bets and keep praying for her just a little while longer though.

mahalo, i think? i'm trying for figure out why you're saying much family?

mahalo, i think? i'm trying for figure out why you're saying much family?

much family love, energy, joy -- the way I understood the word, it refers to the radiant energy and well-being of and warmth of family love

so, yes, it means family, but not as restricted as the English word does

(and I may be wrong; one of my first nights there, the roomies asked me to go the nearest food market with a grocery list that included "hana butter")

so what I'm saying is much family love and joy

ohana and hana are two different words brah. but, mahalo for the thoughts :biggrin1: aloha nui loa (basically can mean "much love")

 

[B_Nick4444]

yah, brah!

the "hana butter" was the joke they (my roomies) pulled on me as a dumb haole

what I was saying is, I may have misunderstood the "ohana" thing, and the way that was explained to me (by one of the hot babes I dated)

but, cool

bombei!

Like Northland says... insurance companies try to get you out of the hospital fast because statistics show that the longer you are in the hospital, the higher the likelihood of you getting some kind of infection or other complication. ( which costs them more )

insurance companies disgust me. at my old store, i'd work in the pharmacy for cover some peoples. i'd have for deal with them sometimes, and they piss me off thinking they are docs and being all "we don't feel this drug is necessary"

Insurance companies don't care about the patients, only how much money they can make off of the patients. I had to switch blood pressure medication because my insurance would no longer cover the medicine I was on. Luckily, there is a very similar drug (in the same drug class) made by another company that the insurance would cover.

I have a lot of problems with my back because of a car accident I was in a few years ago. I was having problems that flared up, I went back to my spine doctor who wanted an MRI and a CT scan. The insurance would cover the MRI, but not the CT. The doctor finally got the insurance to cover the CT scan, but it took over a month for them to get permission to do the test.

Insurance is a total scam!

they are bruddah! and it's sad, and it's disgusting. like i said, they have peoples whose only education were the GED classes they took before getting their GED, yah? yet these peoples are "qualified" for making medical decisions by having the nerve for say "we don't think john doe really needs this medication/CT scan/whatever other medical thing you can put here"

so how is your mom this week surfer? i am very happy she is home and up and about.

 

[surferboy]

she's doing really well bruddah. and please peoples, call me nix or nixxy :biggrin1: no need for being way formal, yah?

shes only 116 lbs. right now though. and that's extremely low for her, because she's got big bones and she used for be muscle. she used for be one gymnast before she hurt her back like, 10 years ago or so. as thin as she stay right now, she keep eating everything. which is good, but it's the steroids making her eat like that. she's on a lot of medications. even better news, as bummer as it is, they believe she has something called addson's disease. i say it's good because all year she's been in and out of the hospital (which lead to my suspension back in february..fuckin bastards...get this! we have this walgreens zine that comes every 2 months, yah? this one has an article on how good this company is for giving you time off when something happens to a family member haha...anyways!) and no one knew what was wrong. so it's nice for know they're goin in the right direction.

her doc found out the preliminary diagnosis from the hospital and was all "it all makes sense, everything fits!" i thought i was watching an episode of house haha. the only thing i'm pissed at is that she's smoking. i'm pissed because she shouldn't be, and also pissed because i hate smelling like it.

 

[goodwood]

nix - that's great news that there is a diagnosis and now they can move forward with treatment specific to that. That's a good sign that she has an appetite and is eating.
The smoking thing though...not a good idea. Sorry to hear that. But thanks for the update and keep up posted.

 

[surferboy]

no worries bruddah. and mahalo for the ear :smile:
