| Dawn, I am very sorry you and your husband are facing so much at once. Can he talk to a benefits manager or govt case worker about health coverage? Definitely needs regular health care with these issues. Praying for you.

| I hear every day about this GREAT medical coverage for everyone that has been unable to have insurance.....fantastic deal, wonderful insurance coverage for everyone that does not have it...Supposedly, everyone is now covered by this fabulous, life saving answer for everyone that has not been able to afford insurance coverage, or who's companies do not even offer them coverage, as well as for people that have been deliberately circumnavigated by the companies they work for (deliberately cutting their hours so they are "part time" and do not qualify for company paid insurance coverage)....what about all THAT coverage that everyone is celebrating and running flags up flagpoles about???? Surely, your husband can apply for that lifesaving, most wonderful, government blessed provider of insurance coverage....? As usual, I am sure it is somehow, an "exception", a "loophole" in "your husband's case"......seems like there are always "exceptions", at least with everyone I know.....I am sorry.....I am praying for you and your husband..... |

I do not have any experience with the Affordable Health Care system, but I would think there would be some source of assistance navigating it to find coverage that would fit your budget, possibly with subsidies.

I haven't even discussed any of this with my family so having you all to talk to has been a huge help. There of course is a government program that will pay a portion of our medical bills depending on our income. Last time I took one of the kids we were in the 90% of the income level so we had to pay 100% of the bill. Both his employer and OC have an enrollment period that doesn't come around until November. So will see what type of insurance we can get at that time. We just had our 24th wedding anniversary on July 27th, we've been together for 30 years. That man is my whole world, he's been my soul mate, my best friend my everything since I was 20 and I love him with every ounce of my being. Of course getting the proper medical is first and foremost our most important priority !! He needs to be here to see his grand daughter grow up. She just turned 3 weeks old yesterday . . she needs her grandpa to be healthy so that he can help spoil her.

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | Less time = less Anxiety Even though you all have been so Great and offer me sound advice and have shown me nothing but warm wishes its hard for me. TY is like my extended family but I can feel my Anxiety level rising every time I come to YT and discuss everything we have going on. I know that it is nothing in comparison to what my baby Miah & husband are experiencing but some times it just feels like my heart is going to beat right out of my chest. I haven't felt like this since my momma's passing last May. Which is why I need a break . . . Please don't anyone feel offended or as if I don't appreciate you if I don't return for a few days at a time. Please continue your Prayers, Advise and any discussion you feel may be helpful. I just feel like at this time I need to eliminate the cause of my anxiety which sadly is any discussion about Miah or my husband. Don't worry I will be back with update after Doc/Vet visits as they are available and will answer any questions you have at that time. Much Love & Appreciation:

| Time out. So sorry that all the trauma around you is making you so stressed. I do understand that having a little time out from YT and the discussions is probably good for you right now. So take care of yourself and your family and know we will be thinking of you and praying for you. Come back when you are ready and don't worry about posting until you feel you are up to it. Healing hugs, Dot, xxx |

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | So much has happened since I was last on this thread. I needed the time to think and to figure out what is best for our family. You can not even imagine how stressful it has been for me but thanks to some really great vets/docs and for some even better people who I choose to allow into my life I now feel that everything will be ok. Unfortunately I got even more bad news concerning one of my other pups and things got way worse before they got better and some very difficult choices had to be made which I don't care to go into details. Just know that things will never be the same in our home again and it is very hard for us but we thought long and hard and in our hearts we know that it is for the best and are praying that things will work out. Miah's diabetes is still not where is needs to be. We had an appointment yesterday and her glucose level had dropped but still are very high. She's doing well and we are doing what we can to help the process. She is now taking 4U twice a day. My husband had his appointment on Weds and the Doc discussed his EKG results and said that the condition that he has is not as serious as the urgent care docs led us to believe which was a HUGE relief for us. We've been so scared of what could happen but understand more clearly now that we got a second opinion and things were explained to us better. His back injury is still not healed and is very painful for him so they are continuing the meds. As for his high BP that to is being managed now with medication. It's still new so hopefully with the meds and the changes that he has made to his diet and eating habits his health will improve. They ordered a full panel of blood work that he has to still do and which may take some prodding but its something that needs to be done and will give the doctors more information on his heart and so much more so that they can determine the right course of action if any. Our only concern is the BP meds and the muscle relaxers make him very dizzy. When he took both together yesterday for the first time he said that he felt like he was high which is not a good feeling to have when you have to drive and work. So, instead he will now take them at night before bed with the hopes that that will help. I'd much rather him sleep off that feeling then to take the chance of injuring himself or god forbid someone else during a medication high. As for myself my anxiety is still very high it seems to rise each time I come here for fear I will be judged and I have which is of course is no surprise to me since no one know the whole story. Sadly I will continue to be judged by people who think that they know me but until they walk a day in my shoes, pay my bills, live my life and know what takes place in my home they have no right to judge me or the decisions that I make on behalf of my family. We still have a long road to go before our hearts can let go of the losses and the pain within out household but we hope and pray that we are making the right choices for all involved and pray that all will be OK.

You say you fear coming here...my question to you is why you come here if it is that unhealthy?. Is it to gain sympathy and make me out to be a bad guy? Seems to be my take on it. All I can say is that we all must make tough decisions. That's life. When a person sits here and pretty much draws a very clear picture that shows an animal is getting less than deserved I will ALWAYS say something...and it wouldn't matter if it was you or someone I personally know. I don't stand for seeing animals suffer. I actually offered to help one of them....Brandi...and you ignored me. Instead you euthanized her. Not that it was a wrong decision .. that was your choice but it only happened after you got called out on that thread where you were clearly not doing right by her. I kept my mouth shut when you again drew a clear picture of how long it took to actually get Miah to a vet for care.... I avoided it. BUT to then come along and suggest that she should be rehomed because another pup was attacking her?? The same pup, Ruby, who was happy to "share" her litter with Miah in April???? If you ask me, it was an excuse, OR there was somethign wrong with Ruby because that would be a drastic change. Ugh...enough of the poor me's please. Gets old
