1:11 pm	dentist shopping I am looking for a dentist to get a 2nd opinion.  I am especially looking for a dentist that has experience with root canals. My dentist said I either need to have a root canal and crown ($1600+) or have my tooth pulled.  There is nothing visually wrong with the tooth in question and the x-rays were normal.  My pain is not limited to that one tooth so before I do anything drastic, I want to get another opinion. Any suggestions?  I am driving an hour each way to my current dentist so I am definitely open to dentists outside of Noho. Thanks. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

1:42 pm	help wanted I am looking for someone to come to my apartment once a week for 2-3 hours to help out around the house.  Day and time is flexible.  I need help with laundry, dishes, and light cleaning.  I may need help with errands and dog walking from time to time. Pay is $10.84 an hour, on the books. I live within walking distance (for most people) of Smith College. I need someone ASAP.  If you or someone you know is interested, please let me know.

5:33 pm	I am still trying to get my student loan discharged (due to disability) and its driving me nuts.  Has anyone done this successfully or know of anyone who has?  I could use a little inspiration.  I'm sure it happens, but they seem to throwing up so many ridiculous roadblocks...  mostly procedural stuff.  My first application was rejected because my doctor neglected to put "Ma" onto the blank that asks what state he is licensed to practice in, even though he listed both his office's and patient's addresses as being in Massachusetts).  I filled it in and sent everything back but they told me I had to start a new application, get new paperwork and signatures, new dates, no copies. I had surgery last Monday to have a spinal cord stimulator put in.  You can read about spinal cord stimulators on Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_cord_stimulator ).  Mine is a Precision Plus made by Boston Scientific.   (Comment on this)

10:33 pm	I had my psych eval for the spinal cord stimulator last week.  I found an letter from the pain clinic when I was organizing tonight... it refers to me as both he and she.  Hahaha.  I find that hilarious, especially because I don't think it was intentional. (Comment on this)

2:47 pm	I'm tired and cranky... but that's not anything new. I'm having a psych evaluation on Tuesday so that hopefully I can get a spinal cord stimulator.  I have to see some random psych person in Pittsfield for a 3 hour appointment.  The first hour and a half is with the clinician and the second hour and a half is taking the computer version of the MMPI.  The psych evaluation consists of 5 questions, none of which require a the MMPI to answer. I don't want to take the MMPI.  I think its a waste of time and money.  If the clinician wants information about my personality or psych problems, speaking to the psychiatrist or therapist that I've been seeing for the past several years would save time and money plus give him better info.  Because it's a computerized test which means the clinician won't have to administer or score it himself, which means its a wonderful way to bill medicare/medicaid for more money without increasing the amount of work done.  Great!

11:49 am	I got a dog.  I don't think I've posted about it yet.  He's very cute.  He had diarrhea but several vet trips, stool samples, flagyl, and a bland diet seem to have taken care of that. He's such a cute dog (did I mention how cute he is?)!  He's afraid of other dogs... I think he gets excited then scared... barks, growls, and he nipped at another dog once.  He even went nuts over a dog statue at the vet. We're doing clicker training... I'm hoping to get him very solid on sit/stay and then will start exposing him to other dogs, at a distance, and rewarding him for sit/staying, then gradually decrease the distance between him and the other dog.  It's going to be a challenge, because he barks at dogs that he sees across the street from our 2nd floor porch/balcony but I've got skilllllz.  And if my skillllz don't work out, then we're going to have to find a trainer.  I do want to enroll him in some classes and I'd like to have him tested and get his AKC Canine Good Neighbor (or whatever its called--obedience training type stuff, responding to verbal/visual cues to sit/stay/down/come, walk on a slack leash, allowing a stranger to pet him, etc.), but I need to get him to where he is able to be around other dogs.  A friend from high school visited this weekend, Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon.  We went to a seder... a very nice, thoughtful, well done seder.  We were going to go to the mall on Sunday but I woke up feeling bad.  Well, I went to bed feeling bad, so it wasn't a huge shock.  But I'm feeling a lot better today. The real reason I'm posting is because I'm sooooo frustrated.  I'm sure that if you read my lj you probably think I'm a miserable person... I'm not.  But when I'm upset/down/frustrated/whatever, I turn to lj.  I should try to make more positive posts. I'm frustrated because my student loan discharge was denied for "Medical Review Failure."  I had to send the application in twice, because even tho my doctor's office is in Massachusetts (and both his and my addresses were on the form), he didn't put "Ma" on the tiny line on the bottom and the govt. was unable to figure out what state he is authorized to practice in.  DUH. So I filled in the Ma, sent it back, and then I got a phone call saying that my doctor hadn't filled out the next round of paperwork and faxed/mailed it back...  I asked the loan agent if she could please re-fax the paperwork to him and send/fax me a copy as well.  She said no, they didn't do that, couldn't do that wouldn't do that, no matter what I said... ARG.  It turns out that they faxed it to the wrong number so she re-faxed it to the correct one and apparently he filled it out, incompletely, and sent it back. I called the number on the paper and talked to someone different who was much, much nicer.  She said that the doctor had not provided enough information and that while the doctor said I was totally and permanently disabled, he checked "yes" in response to a question about whether I might be able to work sometime in the future. I'm only 28.  I really do hope that sometime in the next 50 years, I'm able to go back to work but for now, it's out of the question.  The woman on the phone said that if its possible that I might be able to work again, even if its in 20 years, even if I'm only able to work two hours a week, from home, that I would not qualify for a disability discharge.   That seems a little extreme to me. When you apply for a disability discharge, one your application is accepted, you have to be disabled for 3 years before you are eligible for a discharge.  You loan is on hold until you've been totally and permanently disabled for 3 years.  I've been paying on my loan (and using deferments/forbearances) for the past 3 years even tho I'm disabled.  Once my application is accepted, I will qualify for an immediate discharge so I find this very frustrated. You're apparently allowed to work during the 3 years of conditional discharge...  but your income cannot be more than the poverty line for a family of two in your state.  I haven't worked for 3 years...  at all.  I haven't earned any money.  But because I might be able to work sometime in the next 50 years, I don't qualify.  But they will discharge a loan if you are currently working, as long as you are making less than (approx.. based on 2007 federal poverty guidelines) $11,000 if your doctor says you are permanently disabled and will never be able to work again.  I don't understand that!!!  If you are currently able to work and are working, how can a doctor say that you are totally and permanently disabled and will never be able to work again????? The loan people won't give me a copy of the paperwork they want my doctor to fill out because when they used to do that, people forged them.  I would think that it would be faster to send the paperwork to the loan holder and then confirm it was legit with the doctor than to fax, re-fax, fax again, call me, call me again, re-fax it, take my call, etc.  If you're reading this and you've successfully (or even unsuccessfully) tried to get a student loan discharged, any suggestions/ideas you can share is greatly appreciated. I'm also interested in any input you might have as far as dog training, fear aggression, etc. I hope everyone is enjoying this weather as much as Pepper (the dog), somechicksings, and I are.

3:27 pm	1.  Made it Florida, took four days as we were delayed in CT.  The drive wasn't bad and we made it without running into any traffic jams, snarls, or bumper-to-bumper 15mph crawls.  Woohooo! 2.  There was a lot of construction.... or rather, a lot of cones, lane shifts, and "work-zone speeding fines doubled" signs but no actual work going on...  I have a hard time believing that they would be doing construction during rush hour(s) and they definitely were not doing it in the afternoon/evening/night.  I definitely think we need to slow down and be extra careful when work is being done for the safety of both drivers and workers, however, it seems that these double fines are being levied to increase revenue... not safety.  In Florida, these double fines have been challenged legally and while you can be ticketed for speeding in a construction zone, the double fines do not apply unless workers are present (ie. active construction)...  but don't worry, Florida isn't missing out.  They now have "Enhanced Penalty Zones" where the fines are higher... I think its stupid...  does that mean its more ok to speed in non-enhanced penalty zones?  At least they are upfront about it....  of course, if you drive the speed limit, then it isn't an issue at all.  :) 3.  I got a rejection letter from the federal student loan people.  I am trying to get my loans discharged as I am paying a significant portion of my income towards loans while on disability.  If you are "totally and permanently" disabled (defined as unable to work for three years... which unfortunately, it's been at least three years for me), you can get your loans forgiven as long as you are willing to jump through all their hoops...  I don't work so I have plenty of free time to play their games.  The reason my application was rejected....  my doctor didn't write "Ma" in the blank at the end of "legally authorized to practice in the state of _____."  I filled in the Ma and re-submitted the application with a note thanking them for their concern and vigilance in making sure that my doctor is legally authorized to practice here.  One might assume that a doctor located in Mass, with an office in Mass, and patients who live in Mass (me!) would be legally authorized to practice in Mass... but you just never know.  I'm ready for round two. 4.  Medicare Part D.  *sigh*  Having prescription coverage is great.... except that they won't cover the meds I need.  The coverage that Mass Health (medicaid) provides in this state is far superior to what Medicare provides...  this is not the case in most states and I guess I got a little bit spoiled.  It's better to have some coverage than none at all.  Because my income is so low, I get assistance from Social Security and Mass Health in paying both my premiums and copays.  The plan I had last year increased its premiums and copays (by something like 40%!!!!!!) and decreased the benefits.  I got a letter from Medicare with a list of plans I could sign up for that were low enough in cost that my subsidy would pay the entire premium.   The company that I switched to apparently signed me up for the wrong plan and I got a bill in the mail right before we left for Florida.  Because of the subsidy, I pay the same amount for copays regardless of the plan I choose and there really isn't much difference as to what drugs each plan covers.  The bill I got for the month of January was only for two dollars (the difference between the cost of the plan and the subsidy I get) but why on earth would I sign up for a plan that cost money if I can get the same thing for free.  This is obviously an error on their part and I'm not going to send them $2. 5.  My mom is treating me to a couple of fillings while I am down here.  I'm so grateful that she is able and willing to help me with this.  Mass Health does provide dental coverage... but I've had to wait 6+ months for an appointment and apparently there aren't any competent dentists in Western Mass who are willing to take Mass Health.  I am really afraid that if I don't get my teeth fixed now, I will end up needing a root canal or worse which Mass Health won't cover meaning I'd need to have those teeth yanked.  I'm only 27... not quite ready for dentures. 6.  It is so wonderful being down here.  No snow and lots of sun.  I have had somewhat of a difficult relationship with my mom and there is no way that I'd be able to stay down here for this long (or maybe at all) if we had to share the same house.  Luckily, she just bought a new house and so we are staying in the empty condo for the month.  Nice to be near her and enjoy her company while having some privacy and space to myself. 7.  Being disabled, chronic pain, and chronic health problems sucks.  This isn't the life I envisioned for myself and I really, really, really miss having a job.  I want my old life back, less pain, and better health.  But with all that said, it is nice to be able to come to Florida for a month and get out of the cold weather.  Even if I'm not able to get out and do everything I want, at least I'm able to enjoy the warm weather, sunshine, and the time with my family. Whew.  That's it for now. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

4:57 am	I meant to do this awhile ago but just never got around to it. Most people who read my livejournal know that I have some health problems. But I am not sure who knows what so I thought I would share a little info. I have more than one health problem but the most significant one is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy(RSD) is another name for CRPS. ( What is CRPS/RSD? ) I am going to start a new treatment next week that I hope*hope*hope will be helpful. More posts to come...

9:53 pm	The snow, the snow! I dug myself out today just in time to get snowed back in tonight. Actually, I figured it'd be easier to do two dig outs than one huge one. Supposedly, the house authority notifies us by email, phone, posting, or thru the "grapevine" to let us know that half of the parking lot has been plowed so that we can move our car to the other half and avoid being plowed in (also making it easier to plow). I moved here in Feb of 06 and have **never** seen or heard anything about moving cars. There were several people who were either shoveling, coming, or going while I was digging out my car and none of them had ever been notified easier. I understand that there are a ton of public housing apartments that have to be plowed and for the most part, I don't complain. I don't expect things to be cleared and sanded the instant it stops snowing. But if you are going to tell me there is a snow policy and that you are going to notify me... then notify me. The first winter, I thought perhaps I'd been given old paperwork and the policy no longer existed but the same info was distributed last winter. This year, about a week ago in fact, I got a paper under my door (NHA's preferred method of communication) requesting my email address for the purpose of distributing winter parking information. I sent in my info, hoping that this winter would be different... there was a significant snow "event" last week, another significant snow "event" is on its way, and I still haven't heard anything. On the positive side, at least they plow. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:34 am	humidifier Does anyone have a humidifier I can borrow? I am looking for the kind that makes a steam or hot mist. If I can't find a hot one, I'd also settle for a cool air humidifier. I am having a hard time getting over a cold and I am hoping it will help with the congestionkm. I'll come get it and return it to you when I'm better. To repay your kindness, i will make you a batch of custom homemade ice cream. Leave me a comment, email, or call and I'll get back to you. Thanks. (Comment on this)

3:48 am	catching up Here's where I was, where I am, where I hope to go: Somechicksings and I finally got her stuff out of the old apartment, plus all the crap abandoned by other tenants over the years. My storage unit is full, my car is full, and the apartment is full. BUT we got it done and have until October 5th to get stuff clean up (my mom will be staying with us for a couple days after our fabulous, fun, annual family reunion). I had a really awful evaluation for PCA services last week. Horrible. Inappropriate comments, I don't think the nurse even knew what my disability... I told her that my mobility proble and pain is caused by reflex sympathetic dystrophy she obviously had no clue what it was, didn't ask and referred to it as "reflux" dystrophy and later on, in a very dismissive way, called it "reflux whatever". It's a big deal. One is a GI problem, the other is a neurological problem that has completely changed my life and keeps on crutches or in a wheelchair.. it's not "reflux whatever". I usually just keep my mouth about this stuff as I hate confrontation... several times when I mentioned things that I needed help with, the nurse would ask me a bunch of questions saying things like, "you can't do that? what if you really put your mind to it?" and "are you sure you can't do this? have you ever tried" and my favorite was when she actually asked me if I was being lazy because I didn't want to do it. That's where I was...and this is where I am now: I went to court today to contest my $180 dollar speeding ticket. The officer said he clocked me at 83mph in a 65mph zone. I know I wasn't doing 83, somechicksings who was in the car with me knew... I think the cop got either he back end or front of a car that had passed me on the left. I was found "not responsible" which I think it traffic courts. I haven't been sleeping well, tonight included. I saw my shrink today and hopefully some minor med adjustments will help. I'm not particularly depressed, which is great, but I'm also not particularly happy... not that I am unhappy. I would like to have more joy, excitement, and pleasure in my life... I wouldn't mind a little sadness as well. Where I am going.... Somechicksings has a gig this Friday, I'm think its in Albany, NY, if anyone has any desire to come, I'll get you the info. I am trying to figure out a way to get my testosterone paid for as I've never had any problems until this month and I've been on them for a couple years (time does fly!). I am looking forward to getting together with friends this weekend. I'd like to schedule a end of summer / joint birthday party, hopefully to be held at Look park. I'm writing a letter the PCA agency because my evaluation was horrible!! I need to figure out how to send it to though. I am really wanting to get a dog. I need a small to medium dog, preferably young, because I want to train it and go eventually go through service animal certification. Both of my mental health providers think it would be a great idea and are willing to write notes. I am working on getting my paperwork together to try and get my student loans forgiven. I am trying to get all the paperwork together to apply for a wheelchair accessible apartment. I was supposed to get one in the first place but that didn't work out. My annual family reunion is columbus weekend, I'm very excited. Well, I guess thats all for now. I'm so frustrated with this whole sleeping thing. I got up a couple hours earlier than I usually get..got up at 7:45am this morning, did not nap, and am still up until 5am. I've been in bed laying down for a couple hours but just kept getting anxious about not being able to fall asleep. GRR may tomorrow night will be better. I have not been around much this summer.. first due to being gone most of the summer, then because of the moving stuff, but hopefully things are settling down. I miss all of my friends and hope to see you soon. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

4:02 pm	A particular software program I use is trying to force me to download a "new and updated version" of their software. I hate this as the "old boring version" works just fine. I did, however, get a little laugh out of the whole thing. This is from the terms of service (terms of use?)...can anyone guess what program this little snippet is from? This is from the list of "thou shall nots" and the "we take no responsibility" section: It violates the terms of service if you: "...use the Service to operate nuclear facilities, life support, or other mission critical application where human life or property may be at stake. You understand that [company/product] is not designed for such purposes and that its failure in such cases could lead to death, personal injury, or severe property or environmental damage for which [company/product] is not responsible..." Any guesses on what company and what application the above pertains to? Hahaha I hope that this isn't something that everyone knows about but me.... its just sooooo funny. (Comment on this)

9:04 pm	happy 07. may it be even better than 06. i thought my excise tax bill was messed up. i have a relatively new car and when i received my excise tax bill, it was less than $100. obviously this must be a mistake. but then i figured out that it was only the excise tax from 9/28/06 to now. but in doing some research, i found that some military individuals as well as some disabled individuals are eligible for a tax waiver or exemption. the following is from the Massachuetts General Laws, chapter 60A, section 1 (the excise tax chapter/section): exemptions for: VETERANS "motor vehicle owned and registered by a World War I, World War II, Korean or Vietnam veteran who according to the records of the United States Veterans Administration, by reason of service in the armed forces of the United States, has suffered loss, or permanent loss of use of, one or both feet, or loss, or permanent loss of use of, one or both hands; nor to a motor vehicle owned and registered by a World War I, World War II, Korean or Vietnam veteran who is receiving a statutory award from the Veterans Administration for the loss of sight of one eye or who according to the records of the United States Veterans Administration, by reason of service in the armed forces of the United States, has suffered permanent impairment of vision of both eyes of the following status: central visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye, with corrective glasses, or central visual acuity of more than 20/200 if there is a field defect in which the peripheral field has contracted to such an extent that the widest diameter of visual field subtends an angular distance no greater than twenty degrees in the better eye; NON-VETERAN w/ DISABILITIES "nor to a motor vehicle owned and registered to any person who has suffered loss, or permanent loss of use of, both legs or both arms; nor to a motor vehicle owned and registered to any person who has suffered permanent impairment of vision of both eyes of the following status: central visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye, with corrective glasses, or central visual acuity of more than 20/200 if there is a field defect in which the peripheral field has contracted to such an extent that the widest diameter of visual field subtends an angular distance no greater than twenty degrees in the better eye" I have no clue what all this means.... well, ok, I lied. I have some clue. But it does seem strange to me that they are exempting those with major visual problems. I don't generally think of blind people driving or owning cars. I think its interesting that the excise tax exemptions seem to be only for those who have specific physical disabilities. In this case, the definition of "disabled" has nothing to do with economic status or whether or not one is able to work. If you have a great job, say you're making $50,000 a year, driving a lexus...happen to be in a wheelchair...you don't have to pay excise tax. BUT, if you're on social security disability because you've got heart problems, you're making less than $10,000 a year and driving a beat up toyota tercel, you're not exempt from the excise tax. I have no clue what the logic here is. Just thought I'd share. :) (1 Comment |Comment on this)

7:44 pm	Thanks for the comments! I guess Toshiba saw my post.... after sitting on hold for 40 minutes (we timed it), public relations finally picked up the phone and 5 minutes later, a new adapter was heading to my hosue. The person I talked to said that it'd be mailed today (around 3pm) and that I should be getting it tomorrow. *wow* I did not buy the Circuit City warranty and went directly to Toshiba and was able to purchase extended warranty plus a "if you do something stupid and break it, we'll fix it" policy. My next question: Any one know a good orthopedist? Someone who specializes in knees is great but a non-knee specialist is ok too. If you don't know any, maybe you know someone who does? Feel free to call or email or respond here. Hahaha if you can suggest ones to avoid, that'd be great too. (Comment on this)

6:44 pm	Just in case anyone is worried, I've not fallen off the face of the earth. The power cord/adapter to my laptop died and my internet access is very limited. I'm not 100% sure the adapter is dead but as it shot out blue/green sparks, made zapping noises, and started a very small (but very scary) fire. Sooo..... I'm not sticking in an outlet again. Toshiba has suddenly started sucking. I have an extended warranty, so far they've repaired my computer after I dropped it and after a spill, so my assumption is that they'll give me a new adaptor (unless they claim not to cover it). However, when I call (and when somechicksings calls) they just keep transferring me/us from department to departed with promises to call me back. This happened the day before thanksgiving... in the past, I've always had very prompt service so who knows what is going on now. This is also re-verification month---when I have to prove to social security, masshealth, housing department, etc. that I haven't become rich. C'mon, what am I gonna do? Save up my disability payments? That wouldn't even put me over the federal poverty limit (line.. whatever they call it). I'm not complaining as I really do appreciate what I have... but they're the government. They should know if I have new income. They wouldn't know about stuff done under the table, but how many people are really gonna tell the government that they've been "cheating." It's all just frustrating. The bottom line being, I'm still alive and around, just not online much. I check my email periodically so feel free to email me or call me. Hope everyone is well. [see, now this is more like a letter than a journal entry...if i know people are gonna read it, i can't write it like a journal.... doh] (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:21 pm	Last weekend, there was a tag sale across the street. I got some good deals, in my opinion. I got an ethernet card for a laptop (50cents), I got some kind of card (video?) that will let me hook up a coaxial cable to the computer and let me do fun things with tv/video (50cents), I got two interstingly decorated wine glasses(free), several books(each 50 cents) and a tv for $10. The $10 tv is smaller than the $25 tv but much larger than the $140 tv. I'm always surprised when I find cheap tvs especially whenY they work perfectly and are unblemished. I got a router from Big Lots for $29.99... it wireless but can also do 4 wired connections. It also has at least one jack to plug in a phone in the event that I wanted to do the whole internet phone thing. It's kinda funky looking... I guess I'm used to linksys rather than netgear... but it does the job. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:02 pm	Hooray for MassHealth! A couple months ago, I found out that MassHealth was expanding some of its coverage... it was covering dental care for pregnant women and women with children under 3. I can understand how dental care is important for pregnant women but I wasn't sure why a woman with young children would need dental coverage any more than anyone else. Of course, I didn't want to take dental care away from anyone...just wondering what the logic was. Anyways, I'm excited to say that I got a letter saying that not only do I get dental coverage, but I also have coverage for vision stuff too. I also got a note from my MassHealth funded HMO saying that they are now covering the following things: 24-hour post-medical detox substance abuse treatment services (not sure what this is as they already covered both in and outpatient substance abuse services) Acute hospital inpatient administratively necessary days (I guess you can stay in over the weekend if the hospital doesn't discharge on the weekends... again, I'm not clear what this is) Chiropractic services- manipulations, office visits, and radiology services for up to 20 visits/treatments unless more than 20 visits are medically necessary in which case I assume they cover those as well. No prior authorization necessary if you are over 12. Tobacco cessation services-f2f/group/individual counseling, pharmacotherapy treatment, including nicotine replacement therapy. Non-Emergency Transportation (out of state) Wigs MassHealth has also increased their coverage but I won't bore you with all of that. I think its just swell. I am kinda curious as to what has prompted all these changes. I'm going out of town soon so if you don't see me around, don't worry... I'll be back soon. I will mostly likely be reachable via email and/or cellphone so if ya need me for some reason, you know what to do. (Comment on this)
