Wow, with all the stuff you are dealing with, and because you are NOT diabetic, they won't cover your orthotics. Stinks, doesn't it? How they rationalize what they rationalize, well, I don't see it getting any better any time soon. I guess we all have to suck it in and do whatever we can, HOWEVER we can.

I handle stress by sprouting my own food in my kitchen. You have no idea how soothing it is, how comforting and how calming, when you go into the kitchen and you see your little garden all abloom with sprouting sprouts.

They just SPROUT all the time, even when I put them in the fridge, they STILL SPROUT. They make me smile, so my body feels better.

I learned a cool hobby. A great de-stressor.

I hope I can find an organization, or someone who can change those medicare guidelines.

I'm going to give it my best shot. I can deal with regular shoes, but people like you and Alan, well, it's just not fair. You guys should get all the foot gear you need and you should have it paid by insurance.

So keeping fingers crossed.

You take care,

Melody
