File a complaint with the Department of Insurance for your state and you will be surprised how fast insurance companies will move! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198/page/2#post-366621 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:21:38 +0000 Pollys_Mum_in_UK_2605 366621@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MC do try the warm jello - it may well help you, and please contact your doctor as quickly as you can and explain what is happening to you. You need professional help and supervision urgently. I don't understand how the American system works, but surely someone can help you?!!!!!!!!!!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198/page/2#post-366620 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:17:57 +0000 GreatDane 366620@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I've heard of warm jello, too, Kykat. Give it a try, Molly! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198/page/2#post-366612 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:44:51 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 366612@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Try my family's rememdy for hydration and nausea control. Make jello according to the recipe on the box, but instead of chilling it, drink it as a warm beverage. The sugar and gelatin can act as stabilizers and the fluid is hydrating. It got my sister through 4 rememdies and me through something akin to Cholera. It helps your system faster than cold jelled jello and you can get more into you for the hydration.</p> <p>I am ready to smack whoever at your insurance company needs smacking. Can your doctor declare that this is now life or death or that you must be hospitalized because of the symptoms until the surgery. I am worried about you and praying for you. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198/page/2#post-366609 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:40:47 +0000 GreatDane 366609@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Try a banana!<br /> And isn't peppermint tea supposed to be good for nausea? Ginger is supposed to be good, too - maybe ginger tea? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366606 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:35:12 +0000 mollycat71 366606@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I already spoke with them and they said to go to the ER if I feel that I need to. He said IF I can't keep anything down by tomorrow then by all means I need to go in for an IV. They would have me go to an outpt clinic for the IV so I wouldn't have to pay the ER visit cost. I just ate about half a jello cup hoping it will stay down. I might try some hot herbal tea. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366605 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:34:30 +0000 GreatDane 366605@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I know for a fact that the ER has wonderful IV anti nausea meds, too!<br /> I really think WWM is right that you need to go to the ER. And your insurance company sucks!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366604 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:32:49 +0000 AV 366604@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MC, please listen to WWM, I'm worried for you also! I think you should check in with the ER.......or at least call your Doctor and tell him what you've posted here! I bet he will send you to the ER also!..... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366603 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:28:03 +0000 WillowandWindismom 366603@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MollyCat, I really do think that you need to go to the ER. I just wish that they would admit you for symptom control. And don't you waste even one nano-second being embarrassed about throwing up. I am so angry at your insurance company. This is bordering on patient neglect to make you wait for the surgery. No, wait - not bordering. It IS patient neglect. I am going to pray that your neurosurgeon can put the screws to them and get them off that ridiculous policy.</p> <p>Did your doctor tell you to go to the ER? Because you really need to. This is your nurse talking. You can't go on like this and you are going to become totally dehydrated.</p> <p>I am so worried about you. :-( </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366598 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 13:54:07 +0000 mollycat71 366598@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>hugs appreciated!!!! real OR virtual </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366597 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 13:50:46 +0000 Shelley 366597@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MC I feel so bad for you!

THEY TASTE BACONY! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm</p> <p>Much better than the raw chicken sandwich I got served at lunch! Yes, I sent it back, but it really ruined my appetite. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366557 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 12:03:20 +0000 GreatDane 366557@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>You bet, Susie! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366552 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 11:57:00 +0000 feral 366552@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ooooh...I'm getting the excited jitters for you guys &#38; your meet-up on Friday. I wish that I were going so I could meet some more wonderful TDK people. But, it would take a pretty big slingshot to get me that far,so I'll have to be there in spirit only. I just know that you'll all have a great time! And it goes without saying (take lots of pics). :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366520 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 10:46:28 +0000 GreatDane 366520@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Friday!

All varieties of tea are available, including fruit and herbal teas, warm fresh crusty rolls, cold meats, cheeses and cakes. Oh, and the lemon snow is still available, but not for much longer, so grab some now if you want it - I'm going to eat the rest in the next half hour or so. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366496 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 10:08:47 +0000 GreatDane 366496@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ooooh, I can have tea!

I would love to join you for tea on this Easter Monday. This is a special occasion for me; 30 years ago today I was in the UK! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366493 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 10:05:25 +0000 Pollys_Mum_in_UK_2605 366493@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sounds wonderful KYKAT, maybe some cold for tea? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366491 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 10:02:37 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 366491@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi All, Gini, I wish I was at the Jersey Shore...or anywhere relaxing. I am in the home stretch for doing my organizations biggest fundraiser this week and it is crazy! I worked all day Saturday and worked from home yesterday. You all may not see much of me this week.</p> <p>I made the most awesome lamb yesterday. I massaged it with olive oil and minced garlic, sprinkled with salt and pepper and then studded the lamb with bacon wrapped olives that had a little sliver of garlic next to the pimento. After an hour, I turned the bacon wrapped olives over so they would get done all the way around. We had those as an appetizer while the lamb finished roasting. mmmmmm The lamb was tender with a hint of garlic, the greenbeans were savoury and the mashed potatoes with lamb gravy were divine! </p> <p>I have leftovers if anyone wants some for lunch! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366488 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 09:56:27 +0000 Pollys_Mum_in_UK_2605 366488@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I was unable to make a lime snow - no limes available - so I made chocolate mousse and lemon snow. The lamb was so tender it melted in the mouth, some of the best lamb I have eaten in a long while, and the roast potatoes were beautifully cripsy. MNYUM! I really enjoyed lunch, even though I had to cook it myself.</p> <p>It will soon be time for tea now, so the simnel cake, chocolate crispy cakes and fresh baked bread rolls will be out on the table. Any takers??????????? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366487 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 09:46:52 +0000 SammyandOliversmama 366487@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi PM.Gini you paint a beautiful picture! Hi Abs, Jersey Joan, MC, GD and KyKat! I have been to the dentist, then to curves. After 1 hr in the dentist chair I almost skipped Curves as I had a tough time walking but I went and now feel better. I'll take some coffee and malt balls please. Have a great day everyone! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366486 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 09:38:26 +0000 Pollys_Mum_in_UK_2605 366486@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good afternoon one and all. After a dull and drizzly Easter, Bank Holiday Monday is beautiful. Hand me a mimosa please to go with my Easter Eggs! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366460 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 08:23:20 +0000 JoanfromNewJersey 366460@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Awesome, Gini! One year for my b-day I wanted to dissapear for the weekend so hubby and I went to the shore. Cold, but beautiful. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/16198#post-366457 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 08:17:02 +0000 gini 366457@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Morning everyone! I haven't been this relaxed all year. Mike and I (and the kitties!) are at the beach in NJ and the house is right on the bay so out the window there is just water everywhere. The sun sets over it and it's so stunning. It's nice to just get away from the city and lights and noises. Last night I saw more stars in the sky that I think I've ever seen in my life. We walked along the beach and it was completely relaxing (although slightly cold). </p>
