My husband was able to get Medicare since he is on disability. He just turned 60 this year. I'll be the same age this October. I'll just have to hang in there for now. I left work early yesterday and I'm glad I did. He could not stand up to walk. I kept trying to get him to lean on me but he couldn't do that. I called the EMT's and he was finally able to get up. He said it seemed as fast as it happened it went away so quickly. They offered to take him to the hospital. He didn't want to go. I'd talked to one of his drs and he's got an appointment today. Thanks again for your concern. Hope all is going well for you.View Thread

I wonder, sometimes, if he's getting better or worse. Fortunately he has Medicare/Humana. I'm not loosing much when my job is done. Our insurance is unbelievable. It pays out, in a year only $500. So, it doesn't pay for much of anything except maybe a few minor doctors appointments. I'm still paying on surgery I had 5 years ago. I even had to get a loan to pay for a colonoscopy before they had to repair an umbilical hernia - oh, but gee, I still have not gotten my hernia repaired. I just go around all day poking it back in. Sorry, don't mean to sound the way I sound. Anyway, Pete has another MRI to see what is happening with what they think the tumor is. Thanks so much for asking. Have a good day!View Thread
