What Would You Do????

For a Klondike Bar ! ?

I would probably go to the person and tell them about that habit. It would bother me too. If you don't discuss it, the annoying habit will just fester you until you explode in a less civil matter.

Go to her next time you see her at work, is what I would do.

NOTHING, I'm trying to break the habit of having one at every rest stop.....

I think I need to plan a camping trip with the ForestCreatures -- bet Marcy would have some of those stashed in her freezer.

I would do a lot for a DOVE BAR ------ DARK CHOCOLATE!

Here's what I just did for a Klondike bar:

MY DS just had extensive sinus surgery on Friday.  He needs to keep a gauze pad over his nose to control where the excess blood goes.  He told me he was out of the 3x3 gauze pads.

I immediately went to the local drug store, picked up a pkg of 3x3's, a couple rolls of paper medical tape, and a Klondike Bar.  Unfortunately, they only had the original.

It was gone before I got home, and the wrapper never made it into the house.  I just realized now that I left the receipt on PJay's computer...I have to go deal with that before I'm discovered. :eek:

Hijack on:

I had that surgery, and had to do the same treatment. It changed my life. I was sick all the time in the winter, sometimes spring/summer. It has really helped me. Good luck to him.

Hijack off

Now you've done it.  There is no "Hijack off" command.

On two sinuses (the lower ones) he had conventional surgery to clear the sinus passages.  On the upper two sinuses, the doctor said the conventional surgery would probably not work.  The issue was that in his case the scar tissue from the surgery would simply close off the drainage again, and they would have to re-do the surgery.

He suggested a new technique, known as balloon sinuplasty, which was invented specifically to deal with sinus geometries such as DS's.  He said to expect a squabble from the insurance company.  He aslo said that after doing the conventional surgery a couple of times, we'd have the balloon sinuplasty done anyway as a more-or-less permanent solution to the scarring.

Sure enough, Ins. Co. said the procedure was "investigational" and they would not approve it.  There was no appeal process on the pre-approval.  We paid up-front to have it done.  Now we have to go through the claim procedure, denial, appeal, and possibly lawyers to get them to pay for it.

Oh, and both the doctor and hospital have a contract with the insurance company that offers a big discount on pre-approved procedures.  This will cost them almost double what it would have if they had pre-approved it.

DS is recovering nicely, although with two stents and gobs of packingin his nose , he's not breathing any easier yet.  He also needs to sleep sitting upright for a while to make sure things drain properly.
