Hello to all. Writing for husband Arthur TM for 2yrs. Uses a small scooter all over the house. We just moved to a new community, 55+, beautiful, peaceful. We are (me) concerned about a big problem with "fungus" feet, long, hard toenails that he can't stand for me to try to cut. Who has had this problem and how was it solved. He wants to use the pool and spa. I am trying to get appointments with Kaiser in the area. Hopefully he will be able to see a podiatrist and get taken care of. If not perhaps we can see a private one or if all else fails a Horse or vet. doc (smile). Your input will be appreciated. Thanks and Blessings to all and the caregivers too.

The thing is, I was giving baths daily & no one told me how bad I was til after they were there. The same hospital is coming at 2:00pm to talk about their home health to me. I should tell them - this one is on your hospital. Natalie M.

Suggest to your husband, just suggest, that he grab someone by the throat and hang them out a window till he gets what he wants. Just my way of doing things, but it does get results. -----Original Message----- From: natalie mizenko Sent: Jun 29, 2007 12:12 PM To: Gunny Subject: Re: [TMIC] Hello to all Gunny, I told my husband I wanted to see what they looked like and he came up w/ a brillant idea. His phone camera. He said let's give it a try. 2 photos from it and I couldn't believe what they had done to me. Now, they want to be my home health - nope. My home health I was using would only give me a catether to reuse after my caths from my cathing company in Tulsa ran out. I told them no, I'm not using a reusable catheter. I said Medicare told me I could use my cathing company still who supplies me w/ sterile throw away caths (all in one bag system) but they would not pay them for any catheters. The refused to be my home health provider anymore and had been off and on for 4 years. My home health nurse had to call me in the hospital and tell me she was so sorry the chiefs had made this decision and she didn't want me to hear it from anyone and my aide is so upset about it all anyway. I think I call the medical board and tell them how they do business. Thanks, Natalie M.

It might be trivial to them, but then again, it might wake them up! -----Original Message----- From: natalie mizenko Sent: Jun 28, 2007 3:50 PM To: Transverse Myellitis Subject: [TMIC] Hello to all Hi there, Well, I had to go back to the hospital after only 1 day at home. Once again for excruiating pain from my feet to my hips. This has been some of the worse pain I've ever had. Then, after staying there 2 weeks, I got 2 bedsores and I've never, never had any. I was at Baylor Rehab. for 7 weeks and never got one, because they would turn me at night. I am so furious at them. Now, they want to be my home health provider. Geez. My husband and I can take care of me - I'm sick of hospital people right now. How's everyone? I'm sitting up now in my chair as I have to be ready to go to Little Rock (one hour away) to see my urologist. Later, Natalie M. --------------------------------- Ready for the edge of your seat?

But glad you had a good time. I've been a little afraid to try crocs because my balance is such a problem -- any shoes besides my very flat flexible ones throw me off. But I might see if I can try some out, I've heard such great things about them. Glad you're back safe and sound!

It was touch and go for the first day or two. We were all tired from the cross country flight, arriving past midnight and the airlines lost my wheelchair, yet again. We had a very tight connection, only 40 minutes, so I didn't have them gate check/retrieve it for me in Denver where we connected, but asked them to check it all the way through to Orlando. When we arrived in Orlando, the chair was left in Denver. That took almost 2 hours to figure out, so by the time we got into our rental car, with an airline wheelchair, it was 3am. Then, after checking into our resort, almost 4am before we could crawl into bed. At least our body clocks were on west coast time, so not too bad. The next day I was eager to hit Disney's Wild Animal Park, so we arrived around noon to a crowd of people and a lot of heat and humidity. My husband was cranky, as well as the youngest grandson. Not the best way to start a vacation, but it got better from there. We really enjoyed spending the time with them, and think they did too. We are all very lucky people to have each other and to be able to spend special time together. We're looking forward to some more time this summer, as we have to work around the school calendar. I've grown to hate that darned calendar. I bought some "croc type" shoes while away, and just love them. They are sooooooooo comfy and lightweight. Like walking on air, no weight at all to them. I also wore them in the swim pool since my feet are very sensitive to the pressure on the bottom of the pool. The shoes made the difference, and I even managed to do some "faux swimming" in them. I never really learned how to swim, and now don't have the leg strength to do so properly. I have a lousy kick, but even with the shoes on, it didn't feel any different. I highly recommend them. I bought a generic brand, Sahara, for $12 in Orlando. I was chicken and got the navy ones, but I think I'll invest in a colorful one next. My left foot is the hottest, and it does feel a bit hot and sticky on the bottom only. It's definately tolerable though, and the little nubby things on the sole don't bother at all. I cannot wear the strap though, as the fastener irritates my ankle. It looks like the list has been pretty busy, so it'll take me a while till I can get through our old emails.
