at best, isn't it?

Bob, I'd almost MOVE up your way for such coordination!
Joe, makes you wonder if there IS a priority/status system or not....doesn't it?
Deb, I bet you are at least, hier up on the 'treatment' food chain than most! My Optom. is super, will correspond w/docs and is an absolute GEM! I don't think I've ever dissed any staffers in my life...I realize they can be the true LIFEBLOOD of your care! I for one, always let my treating DOCS know that fact....Essentially, they could be...and at times ARE DOGMEAT with out them!
The financial folks in those offices? Well, just keep thinking about what they are probably paid....and make 'em feel special/propriatary about you as a 'well, nice person'?
Obviously it's that or starting to swing the 2"x4"x8'! and, well, that can get messy!
Kmeb, Yep, a leaf blower sounds good about now. Since I've been in a wheelchair for 6 weeks, well, the dust kittens have grand children! And are mutantly multiplying! YIKES! I'm being taken OVER! Heellluuppp!
LJ - I do wish you could help, but understand your own dealings. Will PM you with some somewhat 'unorthodox' options for seating comfort... Read, think and please don't discount it as totally looney...IF it works, Post it all for all!


Hugs to all, thank you for your input...Now I've got to deal with the DOC reality. At times, I really feel as if I'm a walk-on in a daily SOAP! 'Welcome to the Twilight Zone!' Geesh This is not the way I wanna PLAY!

Hugs Plus - j
