My name is Mary, I had my bypass done March 2009, tried to get the plastics done this past March and was denied by TriCare, we had one of our support group meetings tonight on post at ACS. There was a gal there who was approved & had her plastics done & her surgeon apparently told her she was one of the last on the list that Tricare was going to pay for. I dont know how they figure it or dont honestly.
Anyway, If you are interested in attending any of our local meeting we are having 2 a month now.
We always meet the first Thursday of each month at ACS @ 6 pm and the third Thurs of each month @ 9 am at Pulaski County Library in Waynesville. I try to send out reminders before, I dont get on this site much anymore but if you want to be added to my distro list for the local meetings please message me with your email address and I will add you.
You and any of your support system or loved ones are welcome to attend any of our meetings. We are extremely casual and tonights group was an AWESOME group. Not too big, as we are still growing and getting the word out but it was still a very good night.
If you figure out the tricare loops please share, I know there are a few of us on here who would like to know how to look normal again. :)
Have a wonderful weekend.

hope that everything starts getting lined up for you ....i know it really gives me goose bumps when i see people like you that the surgery has changed their life so much...I know mine was changed so much i was a prisioner of my living room chair most of the time because i couldnt walk more than a few feet.
You and Brenda both are such inspirations to people that are in bad health causing them to die before theiy are suppose to and look at the two of you now. great going. Keep up the good work with diet and walk when you get a chace to

Glad to hear Lisa is doing good, I hope her dad did well.
I sure hope tomorrow is better.
Hello all you wonderful MO People,
Finally got to come home early enough to get a good nap. Will have a good paycheck this week, but it's taken it's toll on me. Went to St. John's medical supply this morning with the records of my first sleep study, the rep. said she didn't see any problem getting me approved for a new c-pap and right now that's the only thing holding me back for the DOT physical. I have to accept that it will happen in God's time and think it's better that way. Sometimes I think maybe he's trying to prepare me for being back on the road again. I haven't worked this hard in about 5 years. It's not easy to go out there and do a 10 hour shift on a truck, so guess he's helping me improve my stamina. When I do long trips like the last few days, I keep thinking how much better it will be when my bedroom is in the back of the truck, then I can pull off the road and take a nap.
I intended to vote yesterday, but confess I forgot about it when I was home then when I left drove right past my polling place and got a job that I had to go do. I respect the right to vote, but am so confused about who is best for us, I don't trust any politicians anymore. But will make sure I get my vote next time. Haven't missed voting in years.
Jan~It's great you get to go see Michelle and her husband, I know you must be excited to see first hand her new life. Have faith that God will keep her close to him, I agree with you that we have to keep reading, and listening to his "WORD". I'm learning that is the process, we don't all get saved overnight. I'm a good example of that. I do know that he is with me, and even though I'm struggling to totally trust him, he is not going to let me go.
Lana~I don't plan on retiring for at least 12 years. I think that's how long I can legally drive. My dream is to find a good looking trucker, get married and spend our lives together on the road, the good looking part is a "BIG DREAM".
Well need to get off here and make out the bills, clean house and then maybe go back to bed. It feels like such a good day to just stay home and do what ever.
I'm praying that Lisa and here Dad are both doing well. God Bless all of you, have a wonderful day.
LOTS AND LOTS OF HUGS
So glad you are going to get to go see Michele and to hear that Lisa has done well. Am praying for her Dad - his will be more complicated but his health should be better afterward. I voted too!!! I always do and do wonder about all the mud thrown around. Seems like they think they have to discredit the opponent because he/she's been slinging mud at them. Too complicated for this little mind - I just ask DH!!! He's the thinker in our marriage - I'm the entertainer.
I hope you have a wonderful time on your visit. Hug them for all of us. Know what you mean about stuff - I'm anxious to retire so I can start weeding out my possessions but it's going to be about 18 months before I get everything done and paid for and can actually retire.
Hugs,
Lana
