This is bogus... Here's a link to Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. Interesting to note: It typically occurs in YOUNG CHILDREN. There are other forms of leukemia that occur in adults. The symptoms include (among other things) an INCREASE in white cells; NOT a decrease of them. A complete...

I call 'em like I see 'em. It's SO easy to dupe people online; especially if the person malingering thinks they have a sympathetic audience. She obviously thought that until she's was called out. Now, she's gone underground. Seems weird, huh? :cool2:

You know what's sad? If we find out this chick is a fraud, you all are going to feel SO offended and violated, and be all pissed off that she duped you. Remember, Byrdie? It would be nice if we could take everything at face value on message boards, but, we can't. Half the crap posted on...

Either this dude has the worst luck, or, this whole thing is bogus.... I'm going with the latter....

I've had 3 removed (one by one); all done with a local anesthetic. I had no pain during any of my extractions. There was some stiffness and soreness after, but, I have always been incredibly lucky. *Some* suffer terribly with pain and swelling after they get all four of their teeth removed at...

That also might depend on state law, too.

Looks like you were right! Good call.

DHB is right. I wouldn't worry about what Sandusky is or isn't entitled to. No doubt the lawsuits that he will be facing will bankrupt him.

All good questions, Reba. One thing we don't want to do is shortchange this kid. He's young, and encouragement goes a long way at this age. As time goes on, you can also reassess him to see what his weaknesses are, and, if he's still struggling, then you can get him a keyboard. But, right...

You know what? We agree on one thing... It's subjective to the person who's had the surgery. Let's please leave the nastiness aside and agree on that much. Because, we CAN agree on that! :wave:

Thank you for backing up what I was saying. Some people will have more trouble recovering from the surgery; while others will not. :wave:

Hmm? Knee replacement, but, I really don't know... :dunno: *Disclaimer: A LOT of procedures that used to require overnight stays, can be done on an outpatient basis now thanks to the laproscope. Examples: Hysterectomy colon resection gall bladder removal... and more.. Also...

Have you had a tonsilectomy or CI surgery? I've not had CI surgery, but, I have had a tonsilectomy. I was 11. I also have had over 30 other surgeries, so I think I can compare it. It's not rocket science, dear.

Really? Honestly, no it's not. It's no more "major" then having your ligament repaired or other minor outpatient procedure. Also people puke because of the anesthesia; not the surgery itself. This may occur with ANY procedure and can be alleviated with medication. As for staying over...

That is correct, Jane. Compared to heart surgery, a CI surgery is nothing. It's probably comparable to a tonsilectomy. Not technically difficult to perform, but, the recovery CAN be difficult for some people. Children tend to fare better than adults do. Since you are drilling a...

4'6 (give or take)

Not to mention bringing up something completely off topic and trying to make it apply to what I was making mention of. Being laid off is entirely circumstantial and doesn't accurately convey the true nature of insurance coverage for the CI or HA in this country. Certainly, if one was laid off...

That's a separate issue, then... Has nothing to do with insurance paying or not paying for things. I'm sorry they were in that position. It's very unfortunate, but you sound awfully bitter about it. It's still apples and oranges to what was being discussed.

Again, not true. I'm sure you're aware that my Dad had cancer. He passed away in Febuary of stage 4, esophageal cancer, and, he was insured. He lived exactly 9 wks from diagnosis to his passing. We had WEEKS to prepare for his passing. Since his death, my mother still carries the insurance...

Actually, there is. You have the appeal's process. Many times, people give up because they know the insurance companies try to wear people down. There's also remedies for his sister's situation as well. Ever heard of "where there's a will, there is a way"? That applies to a lot of...
