Quote From: dabny1957I'm so lost. I want to live and be healthy enough to travel to PA to see my new grandbabies. I have a grandaughter a year and a half, and a grandson born just this year, Jan 10th.
I weighed in at the doctors today at 234 and I'm only 5'2.5". My BP was 150/100, and all the PA did was ask if there was anything else he could do for me. I said what about the BP, he said this is only once, he don't think it;s anything serious. I know it's been up priviously, but not that bad, just borderline high, then it goes down and back up. Today's was highest in a great while and I felt real tired and sleepy and it was a sunny day. Usually on sunny days I rarely feel that way unless something is wrong.
With my weight, height and my medical problems (heart, back, etc) I should keep considering one of the weight loss surgeries (IIFcan get my insurance to help or the doctors to take my insurance (Medipass), or what?
Some day I'd love to be able to return to work, I want to buy a place of my own, as long as my weight and my health interfears and I have to stay on SSI, then that shoots all hopes of a quality of life.
I'm lost!
hmm, wonder if Dr. Phil doesn't help people on SSI and Medicaid or is he like the rest of the Doctors? I wonder if watching his shows four to five days a week counts?
