In time past my child was diagnosed
Posted By: Kinnie on 2007-09-25
In Reply to: I think about that, I had hospitalization from State Farm, but it became too expensive for me, SM - MT50
with a disease that is catastrophic. He was in college and quit that day. I was employed in hospital setting and immediately sat up Cobra, and carried it for about 4 months I think until which time he got a job and got his own medical insurance. My insurance covered as long as the child was in college. I knew with the disease if no insurance bridge would never be able to be covered again and with the cost of the medications needed just an overwhelming thought and even though I have money, would never be able to cover the costs of thousands every month to be paid out.

Must have been hard to do that....in the past I have done a lot of child sexual abuse reports - sm
and they were no picnic. After my mom died, it also seemed I got a lot of congestive heart failure patients (what she had), and now since Jen's diagnosis of Wilms, I did 2 letters last weekend on two other kids with Wilms at the same clinic we attend.....what freaked me out was the Stage II child had a 3 place recurrence at the completion of his chemo, while a Stage IV child was just fine.....Jen is Stage I....and then at her ultrasound this week the doc was extremely thorough (more thorough than the last one, same doc too) and it made me a bit uneasy as he did stuff this time that he did not do last time. But he said all was well, said they get faked out a lot by shadows where the removed kidney used to be that looks like recurrence so they have to be extra careful and rule out that possibility. But the child abuse ones, when I used to get them, were definitely depressing, can only do so much of them.
You should take this as far as you can. The next time it may be a child on the other end of the

Your time at home with your child is so
Your child is better with you..being near the sounds, the smells, the love of mom. I recognize that some moms have to put their children in daycare, but to rationalize it that they are "better off" there because if you stay at home with them and work, they aren't getting enough attention just isn't right. You find a way to give them the love and attention they need. Is daycare going to sit there and give your child one-on-one attention all day? Are you prepared to have your child be sick all the time? My daughter has barely had a cold in her first five years of life. It's just a cop out to think that daycare is actually better.
Spending too much time with your child?

The hard time was the past thing.
Hi, I have just joined Spheris Hyderabad. Two months for settling down is what they give you and after that it is your regular type-type-type. There are nooooooooo problems with this new Spheris Clarity (R) platform. With this, things are just moving smooooooooothly.
i have 4 in school and only allow one activity per child per time. sm
oldest is just basically not involved as she wants to "hang out with friends" at games, etc. 10 and 9yo both are in cheerleading, practice 2 days a week for 2 hours, games on saturdays. 7yo in cub scouts, maybe one gathering a week at most. it is hectic enough just getting each child to where they gotta go, keep up with house, homework, chores, and work for me. no way, can we do more than 1 activity per child at any given time. nowadays they have homework 1-2 hours per night and highschooler with honors has sometimes 2-3 hours a night after being at school for what 8 hours....
My child worked part-time at 14 after school
She started at minimum wage and now is an office coordinator and medical assistant for 2 surgeons making much better money (and goes to school at night). She didn't work at 14 to pay for her stuff. She stashed all the money away as she had always done with birthday and holiday money and so at 17 she bought her own car! This child amazes me - she GOT the work ethic!!!! *lucky mom here* Actually it was more than luck....it was hard work on my part but it ALL paid off. A lot of it was based on my own insanity. I had to know if, G_d forbid something happened to me, that she could support herself, take care of herself, earn a good living, and keep on keepin' on in a forward-moving pattern. She is doing just that!!
Proud mother here....
Okay, next time I'll run the topic of my posting past you okay, Your Highness?

Next time I'll run my postings past you for approval then, okay, posting police?
I love the "my way or the highway" attitude. Get over yourselves.
Go to NBC10.com - Our local news has "Wednesday's Child" which is a child for adoption.
Every Wednesday they introduce a child who needs a home and a family. There should be some information there as these kids are up for adoption.

Hope that helps!

WRONG! A child that has a fear of discipline = a well behaved child.
I have a beautiful, intelligent 11 year old daughter that hasn't had a spanking in 6 or 7 years and probably only 3 her entire life. She is very well behaved and I get compliments on her behavior constantly. When she does get out of line all I have to say is, "Shall I call your father?" Call it what you want, it works. She respects and obeys me and her father. Why??? For fear of the facing the consequences of misbehaving. Having a total lack of fear or respect for authority is exactly what's wrong with Generation X/kids today. I turned out just fine as did my siblings. Why?? Because my parents took "time out" to bust our a$$es whenever we got out of line.
Is that clear enough for you???
Diagnosed w/deQuervain's
I've just been diagnosed this week with deQuervain's tenosynovitis. I've gotten a splint (very awkward!) and have been prescribed anti-inflammatories. Are there any exercises to do to help w/this? My doctor mentioned PT, but I wasn't ready to go just yet. Surely don't want to have to undergo surgery--thanks very much for any information or personal experiences!
Have you been diagnosed with occipital neuralgia?
I have been diagnosed with every headache there is. I have had 7 surgeries this last 1 1/2 years plus am on multiple medications. I even went so far as to have a C2 neurectomy, which was unsuccessful. My next surgery is hopefully my last. I have an occipital stimulator placed, which works wonders for the headaches and pain in the back of my head. I have to have it hooked up agan, as they removed the wires due to an 8-month long postop infection when I had the wire revised. For frontal ones, I get Botox injections every few months. Not only am I a sufferer but I transcribe for a headache and pain clinic. Feel free to post to me.
You can get rebound headaches, especially if you are using Excedrin Migraine or more than two Fioricet a day. For other people like me, it is a combination of things that are causing them.
Good luck!
Just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes...sm
I would really love to hear from others who have diabetes and any tips on how to live with it. I just got my testing supplies, a diet guidelines, but now have no idea what to do from here. Of course my health insurance as of tonight at midnight ends for two months, as I had to switch companies, so hope that does not cause any problems, but we will have to see. Please feel free to email me or post here. Thanks. 
Thanks for the article. I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have been...sm
having trouble adjusting and trouble finding a doctor who understands. If others with fibromyalgia wish to correspond, I will post my email address. There are no fibromyalgia support groups in my area and corresponding with someone who understands would be great!
Coffee is a stimulant. My oldest was diagnosed with
severe ADHD. Meds didn't work and made his heart race to the point that he was very uncomfortable. He is now 16 and learned coping skills, but he has been off meds since he was 8. I always tells parents of newly diagnosed children to try giving their child coffee or Mountain Dew on a weekend when they have nothing else going on. Sometimes it works, sometimes it makes the kids bouncing balls, which is why you don't want to have any other plans that day.
The drugs are so bad if you can come up with an alternative it would be so much better. The nurse at our doctor's office told me to take a pill one time to see what my child was experiencing and it was not pleasant.
I have diagnosed myself with motivation necrosis, possibly secondary to DQS. SM
I hope it's not terminal. Not old enough to retire yet. Anyone else with this sickness?
Has anyone noticed lately that there has been a lot of people diagnosed with breast cancer?
or is it just my imagination?
I'm wondering how you came to the conclusion that she has manic depression. Was she diagnosed
with this? From what I read, it doesn't sound like manic depression to me. Sure, she has some issues going on there, major depression would be a pretty good guess, but does she have any manic episodes?
My ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law were both bipolar which is the new and improved way to say manic depressive and they were the exact opposite of hypochondria. During the manic phase, they felt like they ruled the world. According to them, they had never felt better, thought more clearly, or got more done, but the exact opposite was true. They never slept. They never finished anything they started. They were incoherent at times, basically jumping from one subject to the next so you could not carry on any kind of coherent conversation with them. Sometimes they were even delusional - my mother-in-law thought she was in love with a televangelist and divorced her husband and moved to be closer to the televangelist. My ex-husband thought he was the victim racism when he got a speeding ticket. He claimed the officer had something against Hispanics. Nevermind that my husband was maybe one-eight Mexican on his mother's side and has a German last name.
Those are just a couple of examples of manic behavior. It can even be more bizarre. I could write a book based on what I've seen first hand and it can be very scary.
My son was diagnosed as an infant. Prevacid helped tremendously! Hope she gets better. nm
Cold fingers often - diagnosed with Raynaud syndrome many years ago.
I usually try warm water first - if that doesn't help, I have these little packets, normally found in the camping section of stores called hand warmers. One is called Hothands-2(up to 10 hrs of heat), another one called MEGA warmer(12+ hours). One you shake to activate, the other just expose to air - then place them in a pocket or glove. I wear sweats with pockets - put them in my pockets and warm up my hands.
Found these several years ago as we go camping; however, hubby loves going out in late Sept & I'll swear would go all winter if he could. When he's comfortable, I'm turning blue!! He found these for me - and, they also have foot warmers (6 hrs heat), which sometimes I will use in the winter if I'm wearing my moccasins - with socks - while transcribing!!
But why sign it to put the past behind? The past should have
It seems that they dredged up the past by wanting the release signed to keep them out of trouble for unfair employment practices. Usually when a person ends the working relationship, they give formal written notice, the company accepts the notice, and the employment is over. Smells pretty fishy to send a termination agreement and, oh by the way, sign this release. LOL
Have gotten as much as $3,000 in the past.
The hospital I worked for for 28 years (as a medical lab technologist) always gave us a Christmas bonus. This ranged from $3,000 one year in the 80s down to an orange (yeah, a piece of fruit) and a calendar a few years later. It usually averaged, though, around $200 or so. It always depended on the hospital profit for that year.
The clinic I work for now gives us $100 and a really fancy dinner-dance party (that I don't ever attend).
I have used it in the past
I had it before I got DSL. Never had any problems at all. Lots of local numbers to call into. Never really had problems getting bumped off. Never had problems with busy signals. Just was really slooowww (as is any dial up). I paid a few dollars more a month for the "accelerated" version. It was supposed to be faster, but I didn't notice any difference. I would definitely recommend it as far as dial up goes, though.
I have done this in the past and have just taken another
full time position with another company. If you are motivated enough, then go for it. The only advice I can offer is if they are both full time jobs with full time line requirements not hours, when the first full time job picks back up, are you going to be able to do both jobs full time? That is the only problem I had but I was able to do it just fine.
his past was his past........if you...sm
If you have never learned in life that yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a *gift*, that's why we call it present...and to forgive what was years ago and condemn him in his 60s and continually name-call him, such as *perv* - you apparently have the personality disorder.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, just as I am.....so like I said - go into the mirror.......and become introspective before you name-call....
oh, and your history is 100% perfect? Oh, I get it - you have no faults from the past or prefer to point out everyone else's faults or past. 
'tis all in the attitude.......
My past
Hope my "name" doesn't bother anyone, but I just couldn't help but post.
I can relate to how you are feeling about your friend. I suffered from secondary infertility (I had a child but when she turned 2 I started trying to have another and couldn't). I found a web site where I could post and formed many friendships. Most were women who had NO children. My heart went out to them.
The web site is
www.INCIID.org if your friend wants to check it out. I have formed lifelong friendships with several I met on there.
End of my story is that after 9 years of fertility treatments (torture!!!) and 2 miscarriages along the way (worse than torture!!!!) I finally went the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) route and got my twins. My family is now complete. It was a very long, hard haul though. So anyone considering fertility treatmens should keep that in mind. Emotionally and financially. To consider taking out a loan for $15,000 for a one-shot deal at IVF was excruciating. Especially after my doc only gave me a 10% chance of it working.
Sorry, I didn't mean to write a book. I just want to be a source of hope for someone who is going through infertiltiy and miscarriage. It has scarred me, that's true, but these babies make up for the pain of those years. Wishing your friend the best!
I have in the past. I have to
change the covers frequently. If you run out, just rig covers made from clean, soft, thin cloth or Kleenex. I wrap the tissue around it, cut off excess, and secure with small rubber bands. Aaaaaah!
Lots of MTs have ear problems. After showers, dry out ears with an astringent on a Q-Tip, being very gentle. You can even hold 2 Q-tips together to make them too large to accidently jab too deep. Dry out excess astringent with dry ends of Q-tip and don't put on headphones until air-dried completely. If skin is oily, you can use wipe the entire ear and behind with witchhazel to normalize the ear skin and avoid irritation. I can even use alcohol or 2% salicylic acid on my ears. Feels great to oily skin.
I have seen this in the past also
I did training for the small service I worked for, and have worked with new grads all the way up to 20+ years' experience and had a very different focus training each. The older MTs (exp. not age) who had received no QA did have trouble adjusting sometimes; some were more demoralized by it, no matter how kindly it was delivered, and some would get angry and say things like "I've always done it this way and no one has complained." And some had difficulty with the computer programs we used, more so than the newer MTs. I would think that latter problem would be even more pronounced now with all the fancy software out there.
So I think I get she's saying, but on the other hand, I don't think it was too smart or tactful for her to say it and be quoted for it! I've always thought you need a mix of MTs for a healthy environment, newer and "older"!
How do get past the
frustration of KNOWING QA changes are incorrect? Working at Chronicle I had one good QA person I was dealing with and would send me what they call a comparison report. Then when I typed on a different shift and asked for a finished report I noted that many of the blanks I had left were still there BUT there were also things changed that I KNOW were incorrect? As an MT, are we within our rights to question QA changes and also the experience level of the QA? Viewing the particular changes made in my instance, there is no way this QA person carried any kind of experience.
Are you the one with the ill child ???
If so, please realize that the stress of an ill child can be devastating to a marriage. Unfortunately many men deal with this kind of thing by drinking. My best friend in the world went through 4 yrs of fighting leukemia with her little boy who became ill at 12 months. Her husband turned into a total and complete jerk, drinking, and eventually becoming abusive to her. A major medical illness can pull people apart. On the other hand, it sometimes draws people together, but less often. I had our third child extremely premature and she was critically ill for 2 months and then spent another 2 months in the NICU, 4 months total. It was a big stress, but fortunately we weathered it okay. Some people are not so lucky. My first thought is that all this nonsense with your father, and his mother, and wills and money, and all the rest is just something to fixate on. It may very well NOT be the source of the current friction in your home and your marriage. Maybe some counseling if you can get him to go, would be in order. My best to you and your family.
It's no wonder--with a child like you...
your mother probably ripped her own uterus out, and that will be the one and only post to this person. It was just too easy!!
Why would you do that to your child?

New car for my child
My 17-year-old did get a new car for his birthday for several reasons: He has never given us a bad time about anything, he has a 4.2 GPA, and did a 2,210 on his SAT (the new SAT),is headed to the college he had his eye on for several years now (asked for and got early acceptance letter) and he has been working part-time since he was 14 years old.
We decided to get him a new car because he will need it for school (it's a few states away and we want him to have something dependable) and because he has really gone the distance and worked very hard to get to this point.
I'm really not bragging here, these are just our reasons. He didn't get a fancy racing car, just something that is nice and dependable and made us comfortable.
Anyone whose child has gotten the flu?
Symptoms of coughing, fever, chills and sweats, no appetite, hurts all over, sleepy. Grandson has been this way for 5 days, 2 visits to the doc, lost 2 lbs in 5 days (which for a little guy is a lot). X-rays show no pneumonia. What can we do? Any ideas gratefully appreciated.
Think about the child
and the fact that it is not wanted. Funny I did not hear one mention about adoption in this post. Sometimes abortion is the best choice (IMO).
Let's do think about the child
Adoption has been mentioned in some of the posts, but you may have missed it. A person who kills somebody else may be thinking of many things, but the actual well-being of the person he or she is killing is certainly not one of them. Everyone is "not wanted" by somebody else at some point in their lives.
There have been some things with others in the past
In fact, he's estranged from both of his children, one son and one daughter, they actually hate him and have written nasty letters. The daughter is completely insane, does drugs, married about four or five times, a thief, but nothing has been brought up about any sort of abuse. His other daughter and I have talked. She said that her mother growing up was very suspicious of her and her father's relationship. Actually accused her of leading him on, or teasing him, and something happened where she caught her naked and him in the same room and got mad at her. The daughter swears nothing was going on, but who knows, we didn't know him back then. So it ruined her relationship with her mother.
He has my family fooled that he's this great wonderful guy, yet his own family wants nothing to do with him. Thats why bad mouthing him, I would be ostracized. They all know he's slightly perverted, but its accepted. Thats why i'm wondering if i'm blowing it out of proportion. All I know is that its changed and i'm extremely uncomfortable. Being too specific about what he's said is too embarrassing to even mention to them. I don't even want to make eye contact with him.
that's a blast from the past
I remember that term from years ago.
I did a Google search and the closest I got was a Maxwell Sweetheart retractor: http://www.snowdenpencer.com/snowden/dspcatalog.nsf/b7e010000d3e8e708525666e004dfec2/0174ad87011670c085256673005b0e34?OpenDocument
If you read the first paragraph, it's referring to the shape of the blade ... so my guess is if you can have a heart-shaped blade with a retractor, why not with the tenaculum.
She has been referred in the past - sm
by social services, that's where they hooked up with her current psychologist.
It's a rural area, not much to offer, so they are looking further away from home now to find the right person/people for counseling.
Should also mention that SS dropped the ball on more than one occasion when it comes to Tater and her younger brother (different father.) Tater's mom has also relinquished custody of the baby brother in the past couple of months. Just handed him over without so much as a "how ya doin" to the boy's father, who is also the same guy that she had tossed in jail for domestic abuse and has a standing no contact order against. Some mother.
I never had any problem in the past..nm

living it for the past 2.5 yrs---
my ex quite working a legal job so he doesn't have to pay support. my 3 yo son was able to get insurance through the state but it was very hard to get (and didn't keep it) they don't cover that much. the state keeps rewriting the laws and cut benefits each time. I'm an ic and have my own health ins for my son and myself. I'm robbing peter to pay paul right now and probably will be for a long time. we're doing without a lot of things so that I don't have to take a job outside of the house not to mention that I couldn't afford full time child care. I would try getting extra side jobs so that you could stay home. I worked 3 jobs for 2 years and went down to one job that promised full time work a couple of months ago and needless to say they haven't kept up their end of the deal-as usual-so I'm looking to pick up at least 1 other job. the peace of mind knowing that I'm here and flexible, especially if my son gets sick, isn't worth trading right now.
did in the past but does not do drugs...sm
I wish he'd come in here and sue your arse...for that post
Felony in Past
I've just completed an MT course and am now looking to get hired. I have been turned down by a couple of companies because I have a felony in my past from 1995. Can someone who has a felony every get hired to be an MT or have I wasted my money and time? If it is possible to get hired, any ideas on which companies I should try. Thanks in advance for anyone's help.
felony in past
A lot of people in the medical field are very self-righteous and judgemental as well as hypocritical. Apparently this is not a field to go into unless you're perfection like they think they are. Sorry if this upsets some people on this board.
felony in past
i am inclined not to think that "Anon" and "anon2" are the same person. i have reread both, and the two have very different styles. i think "anon2" is just commenting on "Anon's" reply posts, but that is just mho. incidently, i did not take anything amiss in the posts. i thought several of them were quite compassionate.
That is how I have been doing it for the past 2 years -sm
My husband has 2 exemptions, but Married as single, so it is taxed at a higher amount. Covers my taxes (so far) and we still get about $1400 back. I plan to pay some taxes though this year via the electronic Federal site. Have not started yet though as finances are tight at the moment but plan to get on the stick by June with any luck and pay in a couple thousand.
Sorry, I can't get past the teeth..... : > lol
